Wood cabinetry was once ubiquitous in kitchen design. It’s easy to see why many homeowners have ditched this trend for painted cabinet doors instead. But that doesn’t mean you can make wood cabinetry look fresh and modern!
Flat cabinet doors are a better option than carved or paneled ones. The sleek surface pairs well with natural wood grain and allows the innate texture to shine on its own.
Avoid ornate handles and drawer pulls in favor of minimalist cabinetry hardware. Or, even better, invest in cabinet doors with built-in handles so no external hardware is needed at all.
