Wooden kitchen cabinets
“Look around any modern home today and you will be sure to find a variety of wooden cabinets with different types of wood grains and wood stains. However, oak is the clear winner, as there has been a sharp increase in the number of people using it in their kitchen designs.” Says Mike at miketaylorbespokekitchens.co.uk.
The durability of using oak wood is a well-known benefit, but the popularity also has to do with its aesthetic appeal.
Woods of mixed colours are also being used more in kitchen cabinet designs, with the most popular combinations being pale wood and warm hone-toned wood. However, dark wood tones have remained popular over the years and this isn’t expected to change anytime soon. Therefore, if you don’t like the idea of using mixed colours of wood in your cabinet.

Minimalistic approach to cabinets and appliances
Many people are incorporating the principle of simplicity in their kitchen designs, with focus being on using white around the kitchen, including on cabinets, and only using white appliances, which will seamlessly blend with the overall theme. White creates a clean, simple and uncluttered feeling around the kitchen.
Use of Warm Metal Kitchen Fixtures
Warm and inviting kitchens are always lovely to spend time in. If you think you should add some warm accents and details to your kitchen, warm coloured metals can give the room an inviting glow. To further add to the visual appeal, you can use both warm and cool reflective metals in a particular space. A good example is combing the accents of brass, or perhaps copper, with chrome.

Such a layout means that people hanging out in your family room can see whatever is going on in the kitchen and anyone in the kitchen can see what is going on in the living room. This means that there has to be consistency of décor theme and philosophy between the kitchen and the family room. Here is a look at the rise of open plan living.
