5 Cabinetry Trends to Watch for Through 2019  

If you’re planning a kitchen remodeling project for your home, cabinets are among the most important features to consider. Often the most noticeable aspect of any kitchen, cabinetry will largely influence your overall aesthetic. Beyond that, however, cabinets also play an important functional role in supporting the organization and accessibility of your kitchen gadgets, dinnerware, and more. Because each homeowner has such unique needs for space and design, many turn to custom cabinetry to find the perfect fit. As you prepare for your new kitchen design, here are a few cabinet trends to keep in mind.  

5 Popular Kitchen Cabinet Trends for 2019 

1 Enhanced Storage Features 

Custom cabinets afford virtually endless storage options – an important advantage for busy home chefs, families with young children, and everyone in between. Today’s homeowners seek the ability to maximize every inch of their space with convenient features that promote ease of use. From deep pull-out drawers to trays and dividers for cutlery, dishware, and more, modern cabinetry offers a broad range of customization options to simplify storage.  

2 Modern Minimalism  

Often referred to simply as “modern” or “contemporary” styles, many of today’s popular kitchen designs are marked by sleek, minimalist looks that give homes a fresh, open feel. This often includes bright, white cabinets that evoke a crisp and clean appeal. Some individuals are also embracing the trend of kitchen cabinets with glass doors, which are ideal for showing off your favorite china, ornamental vases, or attractive serving dishes.  

3 Cottage-Style Cabinets 

Today’s twist on vintage kitchen styles achieves a cottage-like look, blending the crisp lines of minimalism with antique charm. Cottage cabinetry often features whites, off-whites, or other light shades and subtle embellishments. The end result is a charming and inviting effect that gives rustic kitchens a contemporary facelift.   

4 Shiplap Features  

While popular for kitchen cabinets, shiplap is a versatile design that can also be used as a backsplash, on kitchen islands, and even as a statement wall. The wooden board is commonly used as siding for barns and sheds, making it a highly coveted design element for fans of farmhouse styles. Shiplap features horizontal or vertical lines that may also encompass some distressed elements to add texture and character to any space. It is especially popular in neutral shades, including white, off-white, and gray, for kitchens.  

5 The “X” Accent  

Another take on the farmhouse trend is incorporating the “X” accent to cabinet doors, sides of kitchen islands, and even on tiles. The X is a flexible element and pairs well with any of the styles listed above. It can be incorporated onto a single or specific cabinet doors to create a unique visual statement.
