From stained glass panels to unique hardware, designers say these trends are about to take off.

By Kelly Allen

Cabinetry remains a crucial part of any kitchen. Not only does it determine how much storage you have and how you’re able to organize your kitchen essentials, but it has a heavy influence on your kitchen’s overall design style. As we look ahead to a new year, we tapped designers for their thoughts on what’s next in kitchen cabinetry design. From stained glass panels to mixed materials, take a look at these kitchen cabinet trends that are expected to take off in 2023.

Dark Stained Wood

Adam Kane Macchia

"I think we are finally seeing a return to dark stained wood cabinetry in the kitchen," says Studio Dearborn founder Sarah Robertson. " It works as a counterbalance to all the saturated colors in our interiors right now, lends a 'been here forever' vibe, and aligns with our yearnings for the comfort of our grandparents' home!"

Stained-Glass Panels

Adam Kane Macchia

“Stained glass cabinets were once a popular choice but fell out of favor in recent years,” says designer Margarita Bravo. “However, they are making a comeback as homeowners seek to add a touch of elegance to their kitchens.”

In a soft, monochromatic pink kitchen by Baxt Ingui Architects—designed for the 2022 Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse—custom cabinetry by Taffera Fine Building & Finishes and Ace Fabrications features leaded glass by Sunburst Studios.

Two-Toned Cabinets

Nicole Hollis Studio

Two-toned cabinets may not seem like an obvious choice, but they can bring depth, intrigue, and subtle variation into your kitchen. "Two-toned cabinets are gaining popularity as homeowners seek to add a touch of personality to their kitchens," Bravo says. "Black and white cabinets are a classic combination that can create a stunning look, while other popular choices include blue and white, grey and white, and even green and white."

Special Hardware

Phil Mansfield

Unique kitchen cabinetry hardware will play a key role in kitchen personalization. Not only can it make your space unique, but it can amplify the design style you're after. For the kitchen of the Kingston Design Connection Showhouse in 2022, Hendley & Co tapped Modern Matter for exquisite hardware, including red geometric knobs and tortoise pulls.

Traditional Details

Adam Kane Macchia

"Traditional details in the kitchen are back," Robertson says. "But unlike kitchens of decades ago, they are infused with lots of light from big windows and a mix of light and dark finishes—resulting in a bright, eclectic, and very personal space."

Bold Colors

Douglas Friedman

If you thought purple kitchens were bold, get ready for a greater color direction. "Bright yellows, oranges, and reds are all becoming more popular as homeowners look to add a pop of color to their kitchens," Bravo says. "This can be done with either accent cabinets or by painting the entire kitchen in a bold color or adding wallpaper to accent the room. "

Natural Finishes

Stacy Zarin Goldberg

The warm, rustic look of cabinetry that emphasizes its wood grain creates an inviting atmosphere. "Although we've already seen a bit of this in 2022, we will see even more natural wood finishes in kitchens in 2023," designer Hilary Matt says.

She adds: "Whether incorporated into cabinetry, accessories, or flooring, the options are limitless! I love the look of natural wood on panel-ready appliances—like Sub-Zero Designer Series Refrigeration—which can add sophistication to your space, especially when paired with other materials like a patterned tile floor or a stone island."

Warm Accents

George Ross

"It is a great luxury to be able to entertain in your kitchen, and having a space where guests can feel comfortable and relaxed is incredibly important," says Anna Zaoui, co-founder of The Invisible Collection. "Using warm colors and different textures to create a special space within your kitchen area is a fantastic way to do this that can be achieved with cabinetry in painted wood with old fashioned handles in copper or old gold finish metal. A vintage addition will wrap it up, be it a pendant, chairs, or copper pans."

Kitchen design by Birgitte Pearce.

Mixed Materials

EMIL DERVISH

Mixed materials continue to gain popularity in everything from staircases to kitchen cabinetry. "Cabinets made from a combination of wood and metal are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a unique look that is both stylish and durable," Bravo says.

How to Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets So They Look Brand New

Spend any time on Instagram—or paging through the latest issue of House Beautiful—and you'll see: painted kitchen cabinets are everywhere. From inky blues and rich greens to of-the-moment mushroom and taupe, painting your kitchen cabinets is a great way to add instant personality and charm. Unfortunately there's a catch: Unless you're lucky enough to be building your dream kitchen from scratch (go you!), you're probably going to have to work a little DIY magic to get the colorful cooking space you desire.

The good news? Painting kitchen cabinets is easier than you might think. Going with a pro team is always a great option (and practically guarantees a perfect end product), but you can also DIY your painted kitchen cabinets with a few easy steps and a bit of elbow grease. Like with many home improvement projects, what you'll save in money, you'll spend in time—but with our easy guide to painting your kitchen cabinets, you know you're about to love the end result. Below, we're taking you through each and every step—from purchasing the right paint to reassembling your space—to help you achieve expertly-painted kitchen cabinets in just one weekend (ok, maybe two).

The Cost of Painting Your Kitchen Cabinets

When it comes to painting your kitchen cabinets, pricing can range drastically depending on how much help you want to hire and how big your space is. Generally, if you're looking for someone to come in and professionally spray your kitchen cabinetry, you can expect to spend anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000—occasionally a bit more depending on the complexity of the job. This hefty (but worthy!) price tag explains why many homeowners opt to tackle painting themselves to significantly cut down on costs. Though you'll need to buy many of your own supplies for the project (more on that later), painting your kitchen cabinets should run you in the ballpark of $500, give or take. Plus the cost of a massage afterward (we kid, we kid—this is going to be fun, promise).

Choosing the Right Kitchen Cabinet Paint

You have two main options when it comes to selecting paint for your kitchen cabinets (and by this we mean paint type—we'll leave the color up to you!): oil or latex. Each has its own perks and pitfalls, which we'll dive into a bit more below.

Oil Paint for Kitchen Cabinets

Oil paint is a go-to pick for many cabinet painting pros, and for good reason. It goes on incredibly smooth and boasts excellent coverage, allowing you to cover tough surfaces (like dark work or previously black cabinetry) with fewer coats than you might otherwise need. Oil-based paints dry slower but also cure (aka harden) quicker and—some would argue—provide a more durable, long-lasting surface for your kitchen cabinets, which can undergo a lot of wear and tear over time.

That's not to say oil-based paint is without its pitfalls, though. It's incredibly difficult to clean up (you'll need a chemical like turpentine or mineral spirits to clean your tools, as well as any spills or messes), and many caution against the heavy fumes that come with usage. Never painted with oil paint before? It may take you a bit of trial and error to figure out the right technique for your kitchen cabinets. If you choose to paint your kitchen cabinets with an oil-based formula, make sure you do plenty of research ahead of time when it comes to properly handling and disposing of the formula.

Latex Paint for Kitchen Cabinets

Because latex paints are the most popular on the market, chances are you're already pretty familiar with their application. Latex is a very forgiving water-based paint, meaning application and cleanup is a breeze (just use a synthetic bristle brush and clean with mild dish soap and water). They'll dry quicker and keep their true color for longer than oil-based paints will, though they do take longer to cure, which can leave them susceptible to nicks and dents for a few weeks. Prep work is super important when working with latex paint, especially if you're coating your color directly onto a bare wood surface. You'll need to make sure to sand, prep, and carefully seal the wood before applying your latex paint, or you could find your project chipping and swelling in a few short weeks.

Brushing vs. Spraying

But wait! There's one more consideration when it comes to choosing how you paint your kitchen cabinetry: brushing versus spraying. Many pro painting teams rely on spray applications when it comes to painting kitchen cabinets, thanks to the smooth, flaw-free application. However, there's a major learning curve when it comes to properly using a paint sprayer (no, it's not like a spray paint can) and you'll either need to invest in purchasing a model or look to rent one from your local hardware store. Another factor to consider? All the surrounding prep work that goes into spraying your kitchen cabinets. You'll need to mask off everything in the nearby area (including appliances, floors, and windows) with plastic sheeting to prevent overspray from tinting areas where no color is intended. This step alone can take several hours to a day, and if you're a weekend warrior, you know that is precious time you could be making painting progress on your cabinets instead. In general, it's a good idea for novice DIYers to paint their kitchen cabinets by hand, using a combination of a brush and roller.

Prepping Your Kitchen Cabinets for Painting

Like many DIY projects, the quality of your kitchen cabinet paint job depends largely on doing all the right prep work. Start by taking all your cabinet doors and drawers off their boxes and putting the hardware into a labeled bag for easy reassembly (it's also a good idea to label the doors themselves so you don't get confused as to what belongs where). Tape off any appliances or spots where the cabinetry meets wall or tile so you end up with crisp and clean lines. Finally, lay down a drop cloth or construction paper to protect your floors. All set? Great—now you're ready to prep the cabinets themselves.

Clean and Sand Your Cabinets

Whether you're starting with a stained wood finish or are painting on top of previously-painted cabinetry, you'll want to kick things off by roughing up the surface a bit so primer and paint and properly stick to your cabinets. Start by cleaning the cabinets with TSP, which will remove any oil or gunk, then sand the cabinets using 80- to 100-grit sandpaper. The goal here isn't to necessarily remove the entire existing finish—though you can do so if you choose. Rather, you want to make it so the surface is permeable and therefore able to "latch" onto primer when you coat it on.

Fill Any Dents or Holes

If you're planning to change the placement of existing hardware or have cabinets that have seen a few particularly tough years, you'll want to fill any holes or dents with wood filler. Apply according to the package instructions, allowing it to dry completely before sanding the filler flush with the surface of the cabinet.

Clean Your Cabinets Again

Yes, really! As an added precaution, you'll want to do a final vacuum and wipe down of your cabinet fronts and boxes (as well as the surrounding area) to remove any remaining dust and debris that could impact how smooth your cabinets look when done. Make sure to wipe down the surface with a tack cloth or other lint-free fabric that won't leave any fuzzies or threads behind.

How to Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets

Phew—you're halfway there, and now it's time for the transformative part of the process...painting! You'll want to set aside at least a full weekend for this part of the process, depending on the size of your kitchen. While not all of the time will be spent actively painting, it's important to leave ample time for drying in between coats in order to get the smoothest, most durable finish possible. Here's what's on the agenda:

Step 1: Prime the Cabinets

Start by choosing a latex or oil-based primer based on the type of paint you've decided to use. Using a brush and roller, coat the primer onto the cabinetry in a thin, even layer. Allow the primer to dry completely before gently sanding the surface with 220-grit sandpaper. Make sure the cabinets are free of dust and debris by using a vacuum and cloth, then top your surfaces with another coat of primer, paying close attention to any spots where the cabinet's base stain or color is still showing through. Allow the second coat of primer to dry completely before going over the surface with sandpaper yet again, this time with a finer 280-grit selection. Wipe the surface clean and set it aside.

Step 2: Paint the Cabinets and Boxes

Once your primer is set, it's time to move on to your chosen hue. Using a brush and foam roller, coat each piece with a thin, even layer of paint. Make sure to feather out the edges and always make quick work of removing any puddles or drips of excess paint. Remember, it's ok if areas of the primer are still showing through at this stage—you'll cover 'em all up during your next coat! Once your first layer is complete, wrap your brush and roller in a plastic bag to keep them wet while you wait for your cabinets to dry.

Like you did with priming, it's a good idea to sand the surface gently in-between coats of paint to ensure a smooth and flawless finish. Brush the cabinets clean with a new cloth, making sure to get any excess dust that could have settled into the cracks. From there, you can add your second coat of paint in the same manner as the first—only this time, turn your attention to a consistent finish that looks saturated and even. You can always do a third coat if you need it, but in most instances, two coats of primer and two coats of paint should be plenty.


Step 3: Allow Painted Cabinets to Dry Completely

Give your cabinets at least 24 hours to dry completely, more time if you can. While they'll feel dry-to-the-touch after just a few hours, it's important to allow the paint to harden completely before replacing the cabinet fronts and screwing hardware back on.

Step 4: Reassemble Your Cabinetry

When you're confident the surface of your paint is no longer tacky, you can feel free to (finally!) put your kitchen back together. Replace the drawer fronts, reattach hardware, and generally focus on making your room fit for cooking again. As a rule of thumb, it's a good idea to wait at least three weeks to scrub your cabinets in any way (that means no Magic Eraser, please!) to give the paint extra time to cure—especially if you've chosen a latex formula. If you happen to spill some pasta sauce or oil on your newly-painted cabinets, clean it immediately with just warm water and a paper towel, resorting to "tougher" methods only if absolutely necessary. You're officially done—time to pour your favorite beverage, put on a big pot of pasta, and enjoy your colorful new kitchen!

Kitchens to order with two-level wall cabinets of different depths

  • When you look at ideas for custom kitchen sets, you want to find interesting and functional solutions. Let's get acquainted with the unusual trend of 2020 - 2022 - kitchens with two-level wall cabinets of different depths. nine0003

    It's hard to imagine what it is? We have prepared for you a photo catalog with 30 options for how and where such kitchens fit perfectly.

    Linear kitchens

    The most common option when cabinets of different depths look in a harmonious composition. It creates a spacious workspace that is very convenient to use. Everything you need is always there - you just need to reach out a little. Please note that cabinets can be of different shapes, sizes and arranged according to personal requirements. The secret of successful design and comfort lies in the choice of contrasting colors for cabinet fronts of different depths. nine0003




    The modern kitchen is smart furniture. Under the "smart" kitchen furniture refers to fittings. Today, modern kitchen fittings are distinguished by thoughtful functionality and ease of use. These are drawers and baskets, convenient and easy-to-open hinged shelves, the rejection of handles on the facades (“push-to-open” system), convenient built-in delimiters for drawers that allow you to easily and simply put everything in its place and much more. nine0003

    Look at this kitchen with different depth fronts in the photo. High-quality, reliable, stylish and time-tested fittings - Blum are installed here. It is enough to touch the fronts with the tip-on function so that they open themselves, the drawers slide smoothly and silently, the lifting mechanisms raise the fronts to the optimal height for safe movement. Instead of pulling the facade by the handle, you need to grab and pull the facade itself. The GOLA profile creates a decorative niche behind the façade for grabbing and opening it by hand. nine0003

    So, see the modern, thought out to the smallest detail, "smart" kitchen in the video below in detail:

    A straight kitchen with a top row of deep cabinets does not have to be completely built-in. In the example below, an inexpensive direct kitchen with a freestanding refrigerator - a deep cabinet on top:

    In studios

    In today's popular studio apartments, a kitchen with cabinets of various depths is a great solution. They will help to visually zone the space, add aesthetics. And let's not forget about comfort and functionality.

    In the living room kitchen

    There are plenty of opportunities to create a stylish interior. Successfully choose the textures, colors of the kitchen set and furniture - and your kitchen-living room will be amazingly different from the usual one.

    All options are great and have a number of advantages:

    • spaciousness and functionality - cabinets with different depths are mounted right up to the ceiling,
    • upper deeper cabinets are convenient to use for storing rarely used items,
    • the most current is stored in the lower cabinets (the kitchen itself creates a convenient sorting and storage system),
    • no traditional non-functional distance between upper cabinets and ceiling,
      • nine0017 upper cabinets will successfully hide the hood and channel,
    • is a trendy kitchen design that you will be proud of.

    It is worth considering a couple of nuances. The design of your kitchen with cabinets of different depths is best left to a professional. There is a risk of achieving the opposite effect and making the kitchen not spacious, but overloaded. An experienced designer knows how to make cabinets not “press” from above, but add air and space.

    Specially for you at our exhibition there is a sample of a corner kitchen with double-deep cabinets in two rows. You can see it live by visiting our showroom. nine0003

    • Kitchen trends 2022: the hottest front combinations

    The kitchen has long ceased to be only a functional and utilitarian item, modern designers are actively experimenting with materials in its decoration, mixing different textures and textures.

    1. Monochromatic facades + metal

    You won't surprise anyone with a monochromatic kitchen, but you can't say about the set, which is finished with real metal. Warm golden glow or cold bluish shine - the effect is guaranteed. Metal contrasts both with plain veneered wooden facades and with colored enamel. nine0003

    Finishing can be done with sheets of metal, such as brass, or you can use liquid metal - a modern coating based on metal chips. The thickness of the coating is from 0.1 mm, it is applied using special tools and looks like a real sheet of metal.

    The designers suggest using metal fronts on the upper cabinets - so they can be seen from anywhere in the kitchen, plus they beautifully reflect the light from the lamps and from the window. The combination of plain fronts with brass, copper and chrome fronts can be used in interiors of different styles - from the loft and industrial style to the trendy version of scandi and eclecticism. nine0003

    2. Plain fronts + wood

    The combination of natural wood fronts with plain fronts in enamel finish has been in the top for several years. This spectacular solution in kitchen design is quite simple and affordable in execution, but it always causes a positive response.

    What are the possible combinations?

    • Main body of cabinets in enamel or foil plus some upper cabinets in wood veneer or natural wood effect foil. It looks especially impressive in the design of kitchens with a mezzanine tier. Designers from our company "Kitchen Plant" often offer this solution to customers. nine0003

    • Wood look tall column cabinets plus top cabinets in color or plain. This technique looks good in headsets, where there are columns with household appliances or a built-in refrigerator. Due to the different finishes, they look like a separate piece of furniture - for example, like a wardrobe.

    • Wooden bottom and colored or white top is another interesting design solution for kitchens with different fronts. The lower part of the set made of wood gives a feeling of massiveness, quality factor, and the upper part with facades in color makes the interior more airy and weightless. Such a contrast looks interesting and stylish. nine0003

    3. Colored fronts + white

    White kitchens are an excellent solution for small spaces, they visually expand the space and do not seem bulky. But pure white headsets already seem boring, so designers are advised to combine them with other colors.

    Combinations can be different: white bottom and colored top, colored mezzanine tier plus white main set or colored vertical columns against white cabinets. You are limited only by your own imagination, because the manufacturers in this case have no restrictions and cannot have any. nine0003

    4. Plain facades + concrete

    Concrete texture facades look very stylish and fit perfectly into modern interiors. And not only in the style of a loft, but also in family apartments where children and animals live - after all, “concrete” facades are vandal-proof and easy to clean.
