It’s a new year and time to look at trends in kitchen cabinet colors and styles that might make a mark in 2010. I’m not making predictions, mind you, but reporting on predictions on home improvement or renovation trends that others have already made. Predictions are a lot like New Year’s resolutions; they’re good when you first make them. After that, anything can happen.
If you’re considering refacing your kitchen cabinets this year, prognosticators have already suggested that colors and color combinations are going to be more refined, quieter, more earthy, and primary. If you want to be bold, do so with your accents. Dark, earth-tone woods are bound to be in vogue, according to columnist Melissa Bullard. The natural look will complement natural countertops and floors. Sustainability will ride the crest of the fashion wave. But don’t forget cool, easy-to-integrate base colors like gray or light green.
It’s Time for Primary and Soft Colors
Jean Patteson of The Orlando Sentinel believes that calm, uniform base colors in the kitchen can be complemented with few, selected bright accents, like red. These will be trend-setter combinations. But beware of blasting your room with too many bright colors and accents.
If last-year’s trends continue, earth-tone based colors and soothing combinations that reflect our attraction to spas and nature should find favor. Even kitchen paint colors carry names that echo natural cuisine or wide-open vistas.
Wood-finished cabinets will continue the trend of leading the market. Furniture-grade cabinets may make a strong move into the forefront for home improvements. Cabinet drawers with under-mount slides, pull-out shelves, and complementing hide-away appliances with high-end materials will do well, too. Cherry wood and Maple should be top sellers.
Now let’s see what really happens!
