According to the NKBA Trends Report, wood cabinets are all the rage, with 59% of surveyed designers, remodelers, showroom professionals, and contractors identifying it as a popular trend. More specifically, 51% of respondents stated that white oak is the preferred cabinet material among those currently renovating. Compared to the orange-toned oak cabinets of the early 2000s, white oak is a bleached cousin with ashy undertones and an almost whitewashed finish.
With quartz countertops brightening up the space, you'll already have a compass to help choose colors for your cabinets. Unless you have a bold idea in mind, opting for complementary colors can keep decisions simple and aesthetics timeless. While a wild color paired with an equally strong cabinetry design can test boundaries of design, neutral color pairings can reliably offer a pleasing environment that complements your home's design.
