When it comes to popular cabinet finishes, some interesting trends are starting to emerge in 2024. Homeowners are becoming more daring and creative in their selections, utilizing vivid hues and distinctive textures. Let’s check out a few of the most popular cabinet finish trends that are gaining attention this year.
Matte Finish
Although glossy coatings have been popular for a while, the era of matte finishes is about to begin in 2024. Matte finishes are becoming more and more popular because of their sleek, modern appearance. Matte cabinets look opulently smooth, elegant, and serene due to their pronounced absence of shine or reflection. The way matte cabinets lessen glare and fingerprint smudges is a big hit with homeowners.
All-white matte cabinets go very well with elegant gold hardware and brass accents. For a modern dramatic touch, opt for bold cabinets made of matte black. The appeal of matte finishes is their adaptability; depending on the kind of door and hardware used, they can have a modern, traditional, rustic, or industrial vibe.
The Two-Tone Technique
While matte-finishing your entire kitchen is one option, the two-tone design is also becoming more and more popular. This is applying a distinct color or finish to the upper cabinets and a separate one to the lower cabinets. It’s a simple method to break up large expanses of cabinetry and provide visual interest.
Favorite combinations of two tones are matte black lower cabinets with white or wood tone uppers. Another common choice for the bottom cabinet is navy blue, which looks great with light gray or white on top. Try pairing rich chocolate brown bottoms with light or mid-tone wood uppers for a cozier vibe. There are countless ways to contrast things!
Natural Wood & Grain
Many homeowners are drawn to cabinet finishes that highlight gorgeous wood grains in their pursuit of genuine, natural textures. Wood species such as quarter-sawn oak, cherry, walnut, or hickory exhibit their distinct knots, textures, and character in cabinets built from them.
Trends in cabinet door styles are leaning toward slab fronts with clean lines that highlight the natural wood grain. While an opaque wood-tone stain creates a rich, saturated look, a delicate, clear stain highlights the grain of wood. These stunning natural elements work well with the still-popular Organic Modern and Farmhouse chic styles.
Bold & Bright Hues
Even while white and gray tones continue to rule the cabinet customers, more and more homeowners are taking courage and embracing vivid, striking colors. Pops of color, which range from cheerful blues and creamy yellows to deep forest greens and emerald tones, are bringing life and vitality to kitchens.
Consider painting the cabinets on your island a vibrant color while leaving the cabinets around the perimeter neutral for a pop of color. White lowers with colored uppers is another popular combination. Even more boldly, some adventurous homeowners are going all out with completely saturated cabinet colors in tones of scarlet, plum, teal, or blue. Deep jewel tones such as these give depth and sophistication.
Textured Touches
Textured effects are making an appearance in cabinet design when it comes to treatments that go beyond the basic look. These days, wire-brushed cabinets are popular because the natural grain and character of the wood are highlighted by lightly wire-brushing the wood before finishing.
For something even more distinctive, people are drawn to decorative cabinet overlays with stylized wood textures, geometric patterns, or faux finishes. Your cabinets have a hand-crafted, artwork-like feel to them thanks to their layered finishes.
Selecting a Finish for a Cabinet
As you can see, cabinet finishes are changing in a variety of innovative ways to suit a wide range of design preferences. Make sure to take into account your room’s overall style, practical requirements like ease of cleaning, and the finish’s durability when choosing the ideal finish for your cabinets.
Above all, consider what you want and allow that to guide your choice. Do you long for a serene, calm feeling? Go with subtle hues and light wood tones. Do you want to envelop yourself in comfort and warmth? Natural finishes and rich wood stains provide the desired hygge look.
