  • Kitchen Cabinet Trends to Incorporate in Your New England Home

    Cabinetry is one of the most prominent parts of a kitchen and it should be designed with both form and function in mind. Your cabinets should look great while meeting all of your practical storage needs.

    Our favorite trends to incorporate in your New England kitchen include:

    • Charging cabinets – Today’s homeowners likely have multiple mobile devices that need to be charged. An innovative solution is to create a dedicated charging cabinet or drawer that houses not only the charging devices but also provides adequate storage for cords and accessories.
    • Painted cabinet – The hottest trend right now in finishes for kitchen cabinetry is painted whites or greys. This simple look really stands out when paired with a sleek Shaker or slab cabinet style.
    • Integrated storage – The sky’s the limit for custom cabinetry that integrates innovative storage ideas. Deep drawers for pots and pans, pull-out knife blocks, and narrow vertical storage for cookie sheets and baking racks are just a few of the custom options for your kitchen cabinets.
