If you would like to explore the various options of dark cabinets, feel free to reach out to KBD for design options.

While traditional cabinets are still the most popular, the emergence of shaker cabinet styles are coming in at a close second. These cabinets are known for their square paneled doors and very straight and simple lines. Shaker cabinets are available in any number of color options. While possibly not best suited for a traditional kitchen, shaker cabinets are essential for any modern or contemporary kitchen design.

The flat paneled kitchen cabinet is perfect for any modern or contemporary kitchen. Flat paneled kitchen cabinets are growing in popularity and are an emerging kitchen trend. These cabinets are identified by their completely flat door panels that feature no embellishments whatsoever. They also have a very high gloss finish to them. These flat paneled cabinets pair exceptionally well with modern, stainless steel hardware and kitchen appliances. For modern looking cabinets, you should consider incorporating flat paneled cabinets into your kitchen design.

Country kitchens that feature a rustic farmhouse flare are a huge trend right now in kitchen and home design. The best choice for kitchen cabinets to match this design are light colored cabinets. Look for blond wood finishes. These light-colored cabinets look stunning when paired with a very dark, granite countertop. For both countertops and cabinets, stop in to see your options at one of our convenient showrooms.

Kitchens always end up as the place where friends and family gather, so it makes sense that cabinet design is trending toward making kitchens an extension of the living room. That means kitchen cabinets are starting to mimic the look of furniture that is found throughout the house. Tall kitchen cabinets are designed to look more like a glass-doored armoire and base cabinets look more like the legs to a dining room table.
