By making the decision to go with custom cabinets, you can differentiate your space from your friends and neighbors, making your kitchen look fresh and unique.
Here are a few custom kitchen cabinet trends that are sure to be popular in the upcoming year!
1.Colored Cabinets
Bold colors are making their way into the most popular design trends for kitchen designs. Sure, the traditional white kitchen will always be a popular choice, but more and more, homeowners are starting to add color to their kitchen cabinets. Some popular color choices that we see trending include various shades of blue, gray, natural wood, and even two-toned kitchen cabinets.
2. Sustainable Materials
Eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, reclaimed wood, and other repurposed materials are rising in trend as people become more environmentally conscious. As time goes on, we’re seeing an increase in the amount of options that are available to those who want to overhaul their space with a fresh look, while remaining environmentally sound. KMCA, or the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association, has created a program to encourage manufacturers, builders, architects, designers, and consumers to meet certain guidelines that fall within environmentally friendly standards. The program is called the Environmental Stewardship Program, and those manufacturers and resellers who adhere to the standards set forth by the program are awarded an ESP seal.
3. Minimalist Design
Hardware is a great way to make a statement in the kitchen, but as odd as it may be, with custom cabinets we seem to be seeing a trend of hardware omission that’s growing in popularity. Plenty of kitchen remodels these days are focusing on clean lines and the lack of cabinet hardware altogether. Cut-out handles and touch release seem to be the go-to option for those who wish to remove hardware from the design process. However, at least in my opinion, cabinet hardware will never disappear completely. More often, custom kitchen cabinets are seeing a more minimalistic element to hardware choices. Sleek nickel handles are trending as a replacement for circular knobs, often to complement the currently trending clean-lined cabinet styles.
This list is by no means exhaustive, but provides an idea of what is currently trending, and what will continue to trend in the new year in terms of custom kitchen cabinet designs.

Style
We can help you find the perfect showerhead to match the style and aesthetic layout of your new bathroom. Whether traditional or modern, there are a wide variety of design options to choose from, many of which are customizable and come in different finishes. If you’re only replacing the shower itself, perhaps find a style that fits the rest of your bathroom. If you are doing a complete remodel, now is the time to take advantage of finding matching fixtures and other elements in your bathroom as well.
Function
Consider your shower needs when performing your next bathroom remodel. Without even realizing it, you can make a small portion of your life easier by considering the following:
- Do you live with a person who needs to use a bench while showering? In this scenario, a handheld or detachable showerhead would make the most sense, as it would be difficult to bathe using a wall-mounted showerhead while sitting down.
- Are there individuals in your home that are drastically different in height? Perhaps you should consider installing an adjustable slide bar showerhead system.
- Do you hate cleaning your shower but are constantly finding that it’s dirty? Then we would suggest a ceiling-mounted showerhead. This way, the waterflow is centered on your shower floor, and there is less room for grime and other debris to hit your shower walls.
Price
While you may think that your showerhead is an insignificant part of your home, rarely seen by visitors, the average person spends around 60 hours a year in the shower! Take into consideration that your shower is a large part of your daily routine, so spending the money on a showerhead that will keep you comfortable and properly cleansed will be worth it in the long-run.
Eco-Friendly Options
Are you worried about how much time you spend in the shower and what effect this has on the environment over the course of your life? You can reduce your carbon footprint by opting for a low-flow showerhead. This design drastically reduces the amount of water you and your household members utilize every year. Keep in mind that a low-flow shower does not mean you will be getting a poorly performing shower. Technology has made it possible to stay eco-friendly and comfortable at the same time with a high-performing showerhead!

There are many advantages to using custom cabinetry. Read through below to see why Buchanan Kitchen & Bath encourages individuals to utilize our services when renovating a kitchen, bathroom, or any other room that requires extensive cabinetry work.
Autonomy
First, and most obvious, is the benefit of autonomy when it comes to purchasing custom cabinets. You pick the design, materials, color, height, and more. Are you going for more of a modern look? Maybe a sleek, compact, and light design is for you. Do you want durable, long-lasting cabinets? You can choose the materials that are used in the design of your kitchen or bathroom cabinets. Whether you’re tall or short, you can customize your cabinets to be within reach and eliminate the need to purchase stools or bend over to reach high or low spaces.
Storage Space
Stock cabinets are manufactured in certain sizes, which can cause a poor utilization of space in your kitchen. If you are not applying a custom design when laying out how you want your cabinets to be installed, you are risking using less cabinetry than you have room for. Custom cabinets give you the ability to eliminate wasted spaces for those kitchens that come in different shapes and sizes. More cabinetry means more storage space!
Quality
When you are given the ability to choose the materials used in your custom cabinetry work, you are given the ability to choose the longevity and durability of your cabinets. Our contractors can help explain the benefits and drawbacks of different materials such as wood, laminate, marble, fiberboard, aluminum, glass, and more.
Eco-Friendliness
Custom cabinetry allows you to choose the materials you are using in your kitchen or bathroom designs. Therefore, you can pick materials that are eco-friendly or recycled. You can choose resources that have less of an ecological footprint. Whether local or domestic, you can reduce the impact your home renovations have on the environment.
