Kitchen design trends like fashion, and while some have stayed forever, others will look outdated in a few years. The difference between these two, it’s not as easy to switch directions after a whole kitchen rebuilding as it is to send an out-of-style shirt to trash! Here are a few popular kitchen trends that we believe are here to stay.

Painted Cabinetry

Painted cabinetry has been a popular trend for quite a few years and isn’t going away any time soon. The movement has gone from just white painted cabinets to other colors popping up, such as gray, black, green, and blue. While the appeal of having a kitchen painted a fashionable color is intense, as far as longevity goes, a neutral color, mainly white, will remain timeless for many, many years to come as opposed to a stylish hue. White cabinets can go with any design style. They appeal to many home buyers if resale is an essential factor in your kitchen remodeling decisions.

Two Tone Cabinetry

The trend of two-tone cabinetry goes in line with the popularity of painted cabinets. You can design your kitchen according to this trend in a few different ways. .For example, painting the uppers a lighter color, lowering a darker paint color/stain. Or, having the wall cabinets a more golden paint color and the island a darker paint color/stain. Some say this trend is dying down. But we believe if you select a more neutral palette, this can be a long-lasting look. For example, if you are going for a modern farmhouse look, pair white painted cabinets with a rich wood stain, and you will love your kitchen for years to come!

Glass Front Cabinetry

Glass-front cabinets have been a staple in traditional kitchens for quite some time. They have been recently showing up in kitchens that are more transitional or modern in style. Glass front cabinets are great for displaying exciting serving pieces and decorative accessories, and other items. Some design their kitchens with glass front cabinets and the uppers, which makes the kitchen look more open but requires everything displayed to be in order since there’s no hiding it. There is great alternative to having all-glass front uppers. It is to pick a bank of upper cabinets that will allow you to display your beautiful pieces.Plus, it will still give you enough closed cabinet storage for your everyday items.

Open Shelving

The other popular trend in displaying your dishes and serving pieces has been the introduction of open shelving in kitchens. While this trend does have some staying power, the struggle to keep the shelves neat and orderly can get tiresome. It may lose its appeal fairly quickly. Open shelving is a trend to stay away from if you aren’t good at maintaining organization for a long time.
