Top Kitchen Cabinet Trends for Your Custom Home

August 21, 2015

When it comes to designing the kitchen for your new custom built home or remodeling your existing kitchen, it’s always a good idea to keep abreast of the top kitchen cabinet trends.

As a custom home builder in Ocala, we at Luetgert Development are happy to share the latest trends and news about kitchens and homes with our clients and readers of this blog. Keep these in mind as you plan your new kitchen.

Tall Cabinets Are Best

Forget about leaving space above your cabinets. Instead, install the tallest cabinets you can get and send them soaring to the ceiling. Not only does this give you extra storage space, but it also eliminates the task of cleaning all the dust that accumulates there. Opt for the 42-inch cabinets rather than the traditional 30-inch. You’ll be glad you did.

Two Tone Cabinets

Can’t decide between two colors of cabinets? Maybe you’re in love with the sleek and modern black but are afraid to commit. Maybe you’re into trendy gray or the traditional look of cherry. The good news is that you no longer have to settle for one color of cabinets. The current trend is to mix two colors in your kitchen. Go with a darker color for bottom cabinets, like a beautiful chocolate brown, and a lighter color on top, like white or ivory. Or how about gorgeous gray cabinets on the wall and an island of black cabinets? Choose different tones within the same style or family of cabinets for the best look.

Pull-outs and Deep Drawers

You’ll want your new kitchen to have the modern pull-outs and deep drawers that make it easy to access everything you need in your kitchen. Instead of cabinet doors, think deep drawers for some of your lower cabinets. And pull-outs are also a great choice for lower cabinets, perfect for pots, lids and more. We love the vertical pull-out spice drawers, so will you.

Cabinet Lighting

As you’re planning your dream kitchen, don’t forget about under-cabinet lighting as well as display lighting. Under-cabinet lighting can serve as task lighting for food prep and other duties. Display lighting is perfect for any glass front cabinets that house lovely items you want to showcase such as plates, vases or artwork.
