A stand-out from traditional styles, two-tone cabinets allow you to give your kitchen depth and uniqueness. Two-tone cabinetry is typically done with the top cabinets in one color or design and the bottom in another. As you can probably imagine, there are endless combinations and possibilities. No two kitchens that utilize two-tone cabinetry will be alike. When it comes to mixing and matching, gray and white are a popular combination. In general, the darker hue is used on the bottom cabinets and the lighter on the top. White is frequently used on the top cabinets because it can be easily combined and contrasted with virtually any other darker color or design that is used on the bottom cabinets, including blue, black, green, brown, and even natural wood. Two-tone cabinets also give you the opportunity to pick two colors you love instead of just one, creating a unique kitchen that perfectly fits your personality.

Vintage is the new trend! Glass front cabinet doors are typically associated with older homes and traditional kitchen designs, but they are making a comeback. Modern homeowners are making their kitchens more open and visible. To achieve this end, many homeowners started using open shelving instead of full cabinets in 2019. If you want a more open and airy kitchen but don't want to commit to using open shelving, glass front kitchen cabinets are perfect for you. They produce the same openness and visibility that you would get by using open shelving but allow you to benefit from better functionality and significantly more storage. There are a wide variety of glass front door designs and types of glass for you to choose from. Six-panel glass kitchen cabinet doors are in line with the traditional, vintage designs while single panel doors provide a more sleek, modern style. When it comes to the glass itself, there are plenty of choices: clear, frosted, textured, colored, mirrored, mullion, diamond, and much more. Regardless of the design and style that you choose, glass front kitchen cabinets offer some unique advantages. Unlike natural wood, glass is very easy to clean. Using the wrong products and cleaning process on wood cabinets can harm the finish or paint. While stains and messes will be more visible on the glass, you can quickly clean grime and grease without having to worry about damaging the glass. You can also add more decor to your kitchen by displaying your favorite dishes, china, bakeware sets, and cookware in your glass front cabinets.

In line with the desire to create a kitchen that is more open visually, some homeowners have been eliminating upper cabinets. This goes even further than the open shelving trend of 2018. It is not an ideal style for every kitchen. By getting rid of upper cabinets, you sacrifice storage space for a more open, airy, and visible layout and design. However, if you have don't need the extra storage, eliminating upper cabinets will completely open up the look and feel of your kitchen and cut cabinet costs in half. If you don't want to use upper cabinets in your kitchen, make sure that you effectively utilize the open space you have created. Too much open space will just look like an incomplete kitchen rather than willful, stylistic decision. Incorporating windows,well-placed pieces of art, and decorations can help to fill the space.
