"Want to transform your kitchen from a ho-hum part of the home to a trendy destination? Elevate those everyday elements, starting with your kitchen cabinets. You might use cabinets to store bowls or conceal countertop appliances, but let's not forget they're also packed with style potential. (I mean, haven't you oohed and ahhed about cabinetry splashed in a trendy hue?)"
"Speaking of your cabinet's hardware, Goncalves says it might be time to rethink your knobs and pulls. "Clunky hardware is also on the way out," she says. "When hardware is used, it's often treated like jewelry: minimal, sculptural, and beautifully considered." Just because designers are starting to favor kitchens layered in color and texture, doesn't mean everything needs to be to-the-max maximalist. For a barely-there hardware effect, you might consider slim brass knobs or integrated pulls."
""We're updating the look by either adding a subtle inner detail - like a cove or bevel - or by slimming down the Shaker rails and stiles," she shares. "That thinner perimeter gives it a more tailored, contemporary feel without losing the timeless appeal clients still love.""
Kitchen cabinets are shifting from purely functional elements to primary style statements that elevate overall kitchen design. Shaker cabinets are being updated with smaller, subtler details such as cove or bevel inner details and slimmer rails and stiles to create a more tailored, contemporary feel while retaining timeless appeal. Hardware is moving away from bulky knobs toward minimal, sculptural pieces or integrated pulls, with options like slim brass knobs for a subtle look. Glass-fronted cabinets with reeded glass or French grill fronts provide texture, display opportunities, and practical protection for dishes while contributing vintage-meets-modern or Parisian chic vibes.
