8 Kitchen Cabinet Trends Designers Say Are Over
When it comes to kitchen cabinet trends that are no longer in style, Southern interior designers are full of opinions. Here, designers from throughout the region share eight types of cabinet trends that you will want to aim to avoid at all costs in order to prevent your space from looking dated.
Glazed Cabinets
“Just say no to glazed cabinets. As Katie Skoloff, the founder of In Site Designs in Greenville, South Carolina, puts it, “Adding glaze is a quick way to date your space (think: early 2000s).”
Inlay Cabinets
Skoloff acknowledges that while inlay cabinets are classic and elegant, they actually are not the most practial option.
“Inlay cabinets significantly reduce usable storage—typically by 15 to 20 percent,” she says. “Unless your kitchen is purely decorative, we suggest steering clear.”
A better solution, the designer notes, is to pick full flush overlay cabinetry. “It achieves a similar refined look without sacrificing valuable storage space or unnecessarily inflating your budget,” Skoloff says.
