5 Cabinet Trends to Keep Your Eye On for 2015

BOISE, Idaho - April 21, 2015 - PRLog -- A home's cabinets are often the focal point of the kitchen, bathroom or laundry room. When updating or remodeling a kitchen or bathroom with new cabinets, you'll want to look through all the styles, finishes and wood species available to compare what you like, what's in your budget and what is trendy for 2015. Becoming familiar with the year's leading trends for cabinetry and building supplies will help you with the decision-making process.

White Cabinetry

The trend for white cabinetry has been going strong for a few years now and it seems this will continue throughout 2015. White cabinets provide a clean and fresh look to the space. The color white also makes a room look bigger, especially if the kitchen or bathroom is small.

Shaker Style

Shaker style cabinetry also appears to be a leading trend in 2015 because of its simple and clean lines. Many homeowners are going for the minimalist look and this style is about as streamlined as it gets. When looking through design catalogs and showrooms, keep in mind that the Shaker style of cabinetry can be created out of any hardwood as well as eco-friendly bamboo.

Eco-friendly Cabinetry

Today's homeowners are seeking out environmentally friendly building supplies when doing their remodeling projects. Instead of choosing manufactured, more petroleum-intensive products, some homeowners are seeking out cabinetry made from recycled materials such as reclaimed wood, glass and steel. Bamboo is another sustainable material, requiring minimal fertilizers or insecticides and having a fast growth rate.

Custom Designs

With the large refrigerators, professional-size ovens and smaller dishwashers, many homeowners are seeking out custom cabinetry designs when updating the kitchen. Custom cabinetry can hide these large appliances or maximize the space around them. Specialty cabinets can be installed in the space above an extra-tall refrigerator for additional storage space. Customized cabinetry can also be made to include pull-out shelves, plate holders and places for storing specialty glassware.

Lighting

Cabinetry with accent lighting creates additional functionality and style. Energy-efficient LED lights make it easy to find what you're looking for early in the morning or late at night. The lighting can also be decorative, adding a warm glow, or colored LED bulbs to coordinate with the walls or flooring.
