The cabinets are among the most essential parts of your kitchen that not only greatly affects the overall functionality of the area but the appeal as well. Being the most visually dominant, they get a good amount of attention from homeowner s and get a large part of the remodeling budget. Any changes made to them could make the most dramatic statement. And like anything else, kitchen cabinets continue to evolve to meet the changing times and needs of the household. So if you are planning to enliven the heart of your New York home through new or improved kitchen cabinets, better be on the lookout for the most recent styles ideal whether you are in Long Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island or Queens.

Richer Tones with Bold Colors to Match

The lighter hues of fruitwood and oak have been replaced by cabinetry finishes like Amaretto, Java, Chestnut and Bordeaux while the classic richness of cherry and maple remain famous to updated homeowners and designers. So if you love wood and want to be stylish, the timeless appeal of maple or cherry would work perfectly. The richer tones of these options offer a more luxurious and intimate touch to the cabinets and overall design of the kitchen. And unlike in the past, your countertops to match need not necessarily be neutral. Bold colors to complement the richer tones are also popular.

Antique

Though genuine antique kitchen cabinets would be great, the trend does not require them to be true. Brushing techniques can be used to achieve that popular antiqued look which is basically in a glazed or distressed finish mimicking that of well-loved furniture pieces. Glazing makes up for a great alternative to having naked wood doors since onlays are already out.

Sleek Modern and Sophisticated

Clean and contemporary lines are still in when it comes to kitchen cabinet style trends. Mission style is currently standing out with the geometric sleekness but still welcoming feel that it offers. Though the simplicity in façade, organizational features inside kitchen cabinets are getting more and more sophisticated. A number of drawer organizers, swivel or swing-out shelves, roll trays, pull-outs and other innovative features free both the kitchen and even the insides of cabinetry from clutter and eyesores. For easier access to items, the visibility of contents is improved through chrome rails.

Less but More?

Style trends in kitchen designs still dictate an airier look and feel. With this, cutting down on wall cabinets and opening up more space through maximized lighting is the way to go. But even with fewer cabinets, you can still ensure enough or more storage space through innovative organizational features mentioned above.

But like any other trends, not all would look great with it. It is important that you assess everything first before jumping into replacing and improving the look of the kitchen cabinets. Being the building blocks of the kitchen which is the strongest selling point of homes, do not be afraid to invest. Be fashionable and enjoy the added functionality that trendy kitchen cabinets offer.
