4 Outdated Kitchen Cabinet Design Elements to Avoid

Revitalizing the appearance of your kitchen cabinets is one way to give this area of your home an updated look. With so many design options available to you, it might be difficult to select the best one that fits in your space. Just be sure, however, to avoid certain design elements that may make your cabinets look outdated.

The Kitchen Store, your local provider of custom kitchen cabinets, shares four of them in today’s post.

1. Distressed Wood Cabinets

You can’t go wrong with the simple rustic feel of wood cabinets. The distressed variety, while a popular wood finish often applied in home remodeling, is on its way out as a trend. You might want to look for other design inspiration if you are to give these kitchen components an upgraded appearance.

2. Cabinets With Raised Panel Doors

Raised panel doors exude a traditional look for cabinets that many homeowners choose as a replacement. As of this time, however, it is not a trendy kitchen cabinet design element. The same can be said for additional cabinetry features such as partial overlays.

3. Oversized Hardware

Size matters in home remodeling, but not always so. Take hardware, for instance. Pursuing a newer and larger variety, like the long silver handles that are growing in popularity today, would be enough to update your kitchen cabinets. However, it is important that you consider if it will fit your space or not. Be sure to talk to our cabinet refacing expert for guidance.

4. Ornate Cabinetry

Choosing custom cabinetry with ornate designs elements could work in your kitchen, as long as your home adheres to classical architecture. You can upgrade your cabinets without resorting to curls, twists and other similar details. Avoid them or risk making your kitchen look dated.
