Unexpected cabinet materials
Personalized interiors are here to stay, and in the next 10 years, expect to see kitchen cabinet ideas taking on more unique forms, from mixed materials to interesting paneling details.
'I think we’ll see more cabinet doors incorporating materials beyond solid wood – particularly glass and other creative inserts. I expect a shift toward textured and reflective finishes like ribbed glass, antique mirror, or even metal mesh. These details add visual interest and depth without overwhelming a space,' says Lauren Carranza of Seasons For Designs.
'When times feel uncertain, people often gravitate toward more traditional design choices that feel familiar and lasting. But decorative inserts offer a nice balance – they bring in something unique and stylish, while still being relatively easy to update or switch out later. It’s a creative, lower-risk way to personalize cabinetry without committing to a full remodel.'
