Hidden cabinets are one of the most popular trends. Note that the storage in this kitchen is nearly invisible. This was made to make a kitchen mix with its living room more seamlessly.
IKEA
Frameless cabinets, a European mainstay, are gaining great favor here, also. Ikea may be to thank for that trend, as they combine Euro style frameless with mass market affordability. American cabinet makers are taking note as well as some conventional face-frame makers are currently offering frameless lines. The advantages to the user are somewhat more reachable cabinets and wider drawers. The advantages to the environment are fewer substances utilized.

These are not your grandma’s laminate cabinets. European producers have shown the beauty and flexibility of the material in both higher end and more affordable models. Look for exotic woods, interesting textures, self-edging and high-gloss options.

More than ever, your kitchen cabinets are more likely to be accessoried with in-drawer and doorway section organizers. These organizers can make what you store simpler to find and even increase the power of your current storage space. You’ll see wood often in conventional cabinets and metal and plastics for contemporary ones.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a terrific addition to cabinetry, and not just the display kind! Installed either by the manufacturer or an electrician on site, long-lasting, energy-friendly LEDs make finding contents in deep drawers or deep doorway sections a lot easier to find.
