Kitchen cabinetry is not just for storage, it is an essential element to the overall style and should be a beautiful focal point for the room. Cabinetry is the crown jewel that brings your kitchen remodel together.
Sure, you can choose a simple, shaker cabinetry that is very popular right now. Some homeowners want to make a statement and are choosing custom-designed, unique cabinet styles for their kitchen.
Get inspired! Here are some of the current trends we love in kitchen cabinetry design.
Open Shelving
Open shelving may look beautiful in design magazines, but many homeowners avoid it because let’s face it, not everyone wants all their dishes to be on display all the time. With organization and the right amount of open shelves, you can create a unique style in your kitchen.
Open shelving creates a light and airy feel in your kitchen, plus the illusion of more space that is essential for small kitchens. Considering that everything is out in the open, what you place on display is very important. Every bowl or glass will have an impact on the overall look and feel. Be careful not to overcrowd or overload open shelving—highlight the essentials on the shelves and put the rest of your items in the base cabinets.
Custom Painted Cabinetry
Many homeowners want to break free of using cookie-cutter cabinetry in their kitchens. They want something that is unique and creates a bold statement and color is one of the most effective ways to do so.
Neutral colors such as grey, yellow, and soft greens are popular but don’t forget a darker color palette. Black, navy, forest green, and other bold dark colors have a dramatic high-end aesthetic that many homeowners are after.
We love color at C & C Cabinets. With us, you can choose any color or finish that you prefer!

Clean and Minimal Aesthetics
Minimalism is a popular trend in kitchen design and is characterized by organization, cleanliness, and sleek, stylish cabinetry materials.
Modern or minimal cabinetry is free of ornate design work and often features recessed panel doors with smooth edges and clean lines. Their hardware is even low profile and minimal or omitted altogether for a streamlined look. Essentially, all clutter has been pared down to the absolute minimum.
Increased Use of Natural Wood
Oak cabinetry is starting to become popular again. Oak’s neutral color, dimension, and texture is so versatile that they can be used in any design such as French cottage, farmhouse, rustic, traditional, and even in more modern aesthetics.
At C & C Cabinets, we can create a variety of unique door styles—from recessed panels to flat slabs, custom millwork including barn doors, and glass front cabinetry—all using oak!
Multiple Finishes and Colors
There is an almost endless list of colors and finishes that you can choose for your custom cabinetry. One trend that we love in 2021 is the technique of mixing different colors for an eclectic look. You might choose white for your upper cabinets, but a natural wood or darker color for the base cabinets.
Or, if you aren’t sold on the two-tone cabinet look, you can finish the kitchen island in a different color than the other cabinets. Currently, black, navy and rich brown tones are popular.

Creative Lighting
Under-cabinet lighting can add an attractive ambiance to your kitchen. Along with ambient lighting, make sure to incorporate a light fixture that makes a statement—like a chandelier!
LED lighting is popular as it is more energy-efficient than other lighting types, and it can be installed in areas where traditional lighting might not have been able to.
Integrated Appliances
Cabinetry designed with the intent of seamlessly integrating kitchen appliances has become very popular. To achieve this look, appliances like the dishwasher or refrigerator are fitted with custom panels to have them blend in.
Integrating appliances into your cabinetry design allows for seamless lines and the design of a beautiful cohesive space.
