When you walk into a kitchen, what is the first thing you see? It isn’t the custom hardwood flooring or the stainless steel appliances and matching fixtures — it’s the cabinets. Kitchen cabinets establish a style, give first impressions, and validate your color scheme. Whether you’re designing a new kitchen remodel or renovating your existing space, there’s no better way to set the tone and create an inviting atmosphere than with cabinetry that captivates. Start your home renovation with your cabinets.

Use this guide to discover the popular styles and trends that are redefining modern cabinetry.

Must-have Matte

Shine is out and matte is so in. Whether you’re going for a rustic look or something modern, matte has become the new go-to finish for all manner of kitchen designs and ensembles. So, if you’re having trouble deciding the perfect finish, then look no further. VIGO’s wide selection of exclusive matte finished hardware like matte black and matte brushed gold for kitchen faucets is the perfect way to deliver a consistent matte finish!

Look, no hands

Minimalism has never been more trendy than now. Keeping your cabinetry simple isn’t just cost-effective, it’s also a great way to create clean lines, invisible seams, and an undeniably modern look. Before you start  the tedious task of finding the perfect ensemble of knobs and handles, consider going with a minimalist look to save a little time, and give you some peace of mind.

The softer side

Warm, soft-toned woods like ash and oak are some of the most popular and trendy varieties of wood available today. Offering a timeless and unforgettable look, few raw materials exude luxury like solid wood. Recycled wood can be a sustainable and affordable option for your renovations and home improvements. Trust us, if you’re looking for something topical and trendy, then don’t go against the grain. Go with wood.

Dream Color Scheme

Saturated colors and bold hues are more popular than ever. Once you’re ready to compare swatches, look for some warm tones to create a welcome and inviting atmosphere. Picking a color scheme that enhances the rest of your kitchen is one of the most crucial parts of the design. Tan and neutral colors are always a safe bet but don’t be afraid to be bold. After all, this is your kitchen, it should be a reflection of the vibrant individuals who inhabit it.

Two-Tone Solutions

If you’re really feeling creative, you can go with a two-tone cabinet collection. Double down on the color and transform your kitchen into the vibrant getaway you’ve always been dreaming of. Just don’t forget to compare swatches before settling on a final shade.

DEEP DARK HUES

Take your kitchen to the dark side. Deep, dark and black cabinets have become the newest and chicest solution for any modern ensemble. Add some mystique to your design with a cabinet color that contrasts the neutral hues of your fixtures and counter tops. Choosing black is a sure way to inject some modernity into your kitchen.

Shades of Grey

If versatility is what you’re after, then you won’t find a more eclectic solution than grey. Picking cabinets that have longevity is a great choice if you’re thinking about updating your kitchen down the road or if you want to keep your options open for decor that works with a variety of different colors.

Go with your gut and don’t be afraid to pick something bold. We hope you’ve enjoyed this informative little guide and we wish you the best of luck with your new kitchen. And don’t worry because no matter what you choose, your new cabinets are going to look fabulous.
