Are you considering having your cabinets replaced? With so many options out there, it can be difficult to find one that meets today’s trends while also looking classy for years to come. Now that the new year has begun, let’s discuss the most popular kitchen cabinet style for 2023.

What is Currently the Most Popular Kitchen Cabinet Style?

The most popular kitchen cabinet style right now is shaker style. Shaker cabinets offer a clean and simple design with optimum functionality. Shaker cabinets are incredibly popular due to their timeless aesthetic that can complement any kitchen design ranging from traditional to temporary.

What are Shaker Cabinets?

Shaker cabinets are crafted with rails, stiles on the sides, four flat panels, and a fifth smaller panel as an inset piece in the center of the cabinet—making these cabinets look like they are framed. This kitchen cabinet style has been around for a long time and continues to maintain its staying power among new trends each year.

Benefits of Shaker Cabinets

Shaker cabinets offer a classic appearance that stands the test of time. This cabinet style is versatile—along with their kitchens, homeowners often have shaker cabinets installed in other parts of their homes such as their bathrooms. Beyond style, these functional cabinets are also known for being cost effective and extremely durable. Shaker cabinets are typically designed with high-quality wood such as maple, hickory, quartersawn oak, and cherry.

What’s more, shaker cabinets can be easily customized to match your style preferences. Homeowners often customize their shaker cabinets with neutral paint colors, natural finishes, or even decorative hardware. Some common types of hardware that can be installed to accent shaker cabinets include:

Bar bulls (tubular or flat)
Bin pulls
Glass or ceramic knobs
Latches
Metal knobs

Other Kitchen Cabinet Styles

If you are not certain if shaker cabinets are the best option for your kitchen remodel, there are other options you can consider. Some other popular kitchen cabinet styles among homeowners include:

Contemporary
Country
Craftsman
Custom
Glass-front
Louvered
Open Shelving
Rustic
Slab
Traditional

Additionally, your kitchen remodeling contractor can discuss your kitchen cabinet functionality and style needs and offer a recommendation that may best suit your kitchen remodel.
