Current Kitchen Cabinet Trends

Stealing the Show

hen you pause to admire a beautiful kitchen, where do your eyes go first? The sparkling countertops? The
shiny appliances? The geometric tile floor? You can be honest—your attention probably isn’t captured by
Wthe cabinets.

They take up the most space, yet kitchen cabinets seem to go largely unnoticed when you’re appreciating a well-
designed kitchen. If you’re looking to breathe some fresh life into your space while on a budget, or are planning your
next big renovation project, don’t overlook them! Especially not when these current kitchen cabinet trends are sure
to impress your guests and turn the kitchen into your favourite room in the house (if it’s not already).

Neutral no more
Trade in your bright whites and soft greys for bold and bright, or dark and dramatic. Current cabinet trends are asking
homeowners to take a bit of a risk with colour.

Bright cabinetry in varying shades of primary colours are sure to provide some cheer and turn your space into a fun,
creative place to gather and enjoy good food.

But if you’re going for a modern, sleek feel, then black or dark blue kitchen cabinets are the best choice. Blue is fast
becoming the new neutral and, when paired with gold hardware, provides a clean, sophisticated look.
The two-tone or colour blocking kitchen cabinet trend is perfect if you can’t decide between the two aforementioned
looks. Pairing a bright or lighter colour on the top cabinets with a darker grey, black or blue on the bottom adds a
dynamic element to the kitchen and keeps the eye roving.
