Are Wood Cabinets Coming Back in 2024?
Wood cabinets never really go out of style. However, metal and other materials have become popular in recent years. The durability and natural beauty of wood adds warmth and charm to your kitchen remodel. It fits nearly every style, from rustic to industrial, when painted, stained, or polished into the right finish. Natural wood is available in an endless variety of colors and patterns, and it’s easy to adapt wooden cabinets, flooring, and furniture to your style preferences. White oak and walnut will feature prominently in kitchen makeovers this year.
Fluted Wood Details
What’s the latest motif for fashionable kitchens? Fluted accents have become a popular choice in recent months. Ribbed lines create a specific effect, adding depth and texture. Fluted wood on islands, cabinets, and custom backsplashes ties together your new kitchen perfectly. Ask our design and built team for ideas if you want to invoke fluted details in subtle or bold ways.
Give Your Coffee the Space It Deserves
It’s safe to say that coffee plays a significant role in the lives of many modern Americans. So, it’s about time that coffee is receiving a nod in the latest kitchen designs. No longer relegated to a corner of the counter, your coffee or espresso maker will be showcased in style.
Beverage centers built into your counters, island, or standalone nook give you plenty of space to store tea leaves, designer coffee blends, bean grinders, hot water dispensers, and blenders. Make your own smoothies and shakes without feeling cramped. You’ll be surprised how much money you can save if you forgo your daily sojourn to Starbucks. Don’t forget to include seating in your beverage station.
Wrap-Around Islands Create a Gathering Space for Friends and Family
Islands continue to be a top priority for designers. Wraparound seating facilitates conversations and intimate family meals. You don’t need a huge kitchen to create inviting eat-in spaces separate from your formal dining room. To create a focal point, choose an eye-catching counter in natural stone and use a contrasting color for the underlying cabinets.
Colorful Cabinets Set a Unique Tone
To keep your kitchen bright, shy away from the bold black cabinetry and walls that have become popular over the last decade. Instead, opt for one of these color trends or create your own color scheme:
Coastal charm makes every day feel like a vacation. Nautical blue, faded gray, and seafoam green evoke life on the coast. Consider aqua cabinets with gray marble countertops and a white island to bring the hues of the ocean into your new kitchen. Herringbone tiles add texture and style and give your kitchen a boost over more traditional flooring options.
Farmhouse chic is still a thing. If you live in a ranch, Spanish, or older home, celebrate your home’s history. Terracotta flooring, distressed wood cabinets, and antique fixtures give your space unique flair. Muted colors help you blend diverse accents and materials for a gorgeous take on farmhouse chic.
Blend industrial elements into your contemporary kitchen overhaul. Hammered metal backsplashes and copper or stainless steel hoods add sheen, beauty, and functionality to a modern kitchen.
