No longer seen as just a functional space, the kitchen has undergone a transformation and has become a true cornerstone for the home’s design. Today's homebuyers value self-expression, customization and maximizing the appeal of the rooms they spend the most time in—open formats, painted cabinets, mixed materials like metal, glass and concrete, and smooth, matte finishes are gaining prevalence. The ornate carvings, corbels and thick moldings of yesterday are giving way to the rise of the clean, European-inspired look.
Experts at the Sherwin-Williams DesignHouse are immersed in the product development process, which includes identifying emerging paint and stain color trends in the kitchen cabinet industry to help you ensure your palette is comprehensive, making it easy to go to market with the right finishes.
Kitchen Cabinet Color and Finish Trends
The colors and finishes that Sherwin-Williams color experts are seeing:
Browns
Nostalgic browns are grounding and add a touch of understated luxury.
Organic
Organic finishes contribute to a sense of calm and authenticity, perfectly magnifying nature’s imperfections.
Bleached & Blonde
While shades of gray are still very prevalent, warmer blonde finishes are becoming more widespread thanks to Scandinavian inspiration
Texture
Textured finishes that are distressed, cerused or charred create a one-of-a-kind look and add a unique sense of flair
