Cabinetry is the crown jewel — the centerpiece of the kitchen. There is a growing movement towards a streamlined look that focuses on simplicity and minimalism. In 2022, clients are seeing both modern and bold styles adoring the walls for a major statement.

Top 5 Cabinet Trends of 2022

1.     Floating shelves to help balance out the space.

Open shelves look gorgeous and contemporary — especially if you have dinnerware or specialty pieces you want to keep on display. To make a bold statement, open shelves are good for organization and can create a distinctive cutting-edge style for your kitchen.  In fact, in 2022 open kitchen shelves instead of wall cabinetry is becoming a hot trend. Not only does it introduce a light and airy feel offering the illusion of more space, but it is also great for multi-family units with smaller kitchens.

2.     Custom Colors

Using one color palette across a kitchen appeals to the masses, but we are now seeing a bold color statement for a more personalized feel. Custom colors help to build character and personality or provides a bold statement. Color is one of the most effective ways to take notice. A different color of paint on your cabinets can make all the difference — and is now one of the hottest trends. Many brands have teamed up with paint companies to provide a limitless array of color for you to be inspired by.

3.     Minimalism

Minimalism is the perfect style trend of the kitchen as it enables clear, clutter-free surfaces and stylish and sleek materials. More and more clients are taking the simple route — but splurging on appearance. For a minimalist feel, it must be clean but loaded with luxe stone, gorgeous finishes, and sleek appliances. This simple, but trending feel works perfectly with modern styled kitchen cabinets, complementing other components like a quartz countertop and a exclusive, simple backsplash.

4.     Oak Cabinetry

It’s back! Trending now is the prospect of make connections to the past and a renewed attention to vintage kitchens. What’s the appeal?  Neutral color, dimension, and texture — and a newfound soft luxury of oak that can be layered into any space. Oak cabinetry is versatile — and creates a modern simplicity or a rustic look.

5.     Integrated Appliances

Exclusively designed with the intent of fitting flush and flawlessly disappearing into the surrounding cabinetry, integrated appliances are becoming a hot trend.  To achieve this streamlined look and uninterrupted design style, the appliances are fitted with custom panels to hide the original appearance. This type of integration provides uninterrupted sightlines, overall cohesion and elevating the whole kitchen aesthetic and splendor.
