Your kitchen cabinets serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, providing storage while also setting the stage for the look and style of the room. However, following trends or opting for basic builder-grade materials may mean your kitchen will look dated within a few years. However, the following styles will ensure your kitchen looks classic and fresh for years to come. 

3 Custom Cabinet Ideas for Your Kitchen Remodel

1. Two-Tone

Two-tone cabinets have been on-trend for several years and continue to be a popular choice among homeowners. There are many options for this style, though the most common is painting the upper and lower cabinets complementary but distinct shades. For instance, you might opt for bright white upper cabinets and soft gray lower cabinets.

Another two-tone option that’s becoming more common is using different kinds of wood. This involves using one shade or type of wood for the cabinet and drawer fronts, and another for the exterior framing. 

2. Rustic & Textured

You can create a warm, farmhouse style with rustic or textured kitchen cabinets. You might consider using pine, oak, maple, or hickory wood, with a focus on letting the natural knots and textures show through to create a rustic and welcoming feeling. It’s also becoming more common for homeowners to skip the glossy look in favor of a matte finish or a natural texture as part of this style. 

3. Scandinavian Style

Scandinavian style furniture focuses on one major principle: simplicity. Many homeowners are drawn to the bright, clean style of Scandinavian decor, which can apply in the kitchen as well. This style often includes a mix of cabinetry and open shelving made from solid wood that’s been left natural, whitewashed, or painted shades of white or gray. The cabinets themselves tend to be simple with clean lines, basic hardware, and a lack of elaborate carving or details.
