The Hottest Kitchen Cabinet Styles for 2021

As Mugatu would say: “Those kitchen cabinets are so hot right now.” The year 2021 is officially here, and it brought some incredible trends with it! As many homeowners rediscovered their love of cooking last year, we’re seeing the desire for kitchen rehauls like never before. Of course, one of the most important parts of a kitchen remodeling journey starts with the cabinets. To help you navigate this terrain, here are some of our favorite kitchen cabinet styles for 2021:

Side-By-Side Contrasting Colors

Two-toned upper and lower kitchen cabinets have been a steady trend for the past few years. In 2021, we are seeing this color-blocking technique in a new way. With it, interior designers are leaving one wall of cabinets a single shade while switching to a neutral color choice for the others. This wall of colorful cabinets then becomes an accent wall by default, bringing a new dimension into the kitchen.

Stacked, Floor-to-Ceiling Cabinets

As more and more people are starting to prefer cooking at home, the need for kitchen storage has increased. To improve storage, this year’s kitchens are making use of every last inch of space with stacked cabinets. These are floor-to-ceiling cabinets with an extra row of uppers, creating a ton of storage space for all of your kitchen gadgets.

Colorful Kitchen Cabinets

Staring at a neutral wall does nothing for the imagination. To help invigorate your kitchen, choose colorful kitchen cabinets! There is no rule against this design, and many homeowners are choosing “wild” cabinet colors in an attempt to bring some life back into their homes.

Glass Doors

For those of you with a collection of fancy dishware or who are simply tired of blindly hunting for the perfect tool, you’ll be happy to know that glass-door kitchen cabinets are back in trend. This design works well when all upper cabinets in your kitchen are rigged with glass doors.

Modern Farmhouse Cabinets

2020’s modern farmhouse look isn’t going anywhere this new year. To achieve this in the kitchen, choose shaker cabinets in cream tones or natural wood cabinets. Either option will help you warm up the space to create that cozy, chic atmosphere.

Hardware Can Make or Break the Design

When thinking about new kitchen cabinets, many homeowners forget to consider the impact that the right hardware can make. In 2021, kitchen cabinets are embracing hardware for both its practicality and beauty. Be sure to install hardware that is functional and contemporary in fashion.
