Some trends become so popular that they eventually stop being trends and they become classic looks. That was the case with wood floors, millwork, and white walls. What’s joining the list now? Shaker cabinets. That’s right, these popular cabinets aren’t going anywhere…except for the rest of the house. So why are these so beloved?
Shaker cabinets give a classic look to any kitchen due to their straightforward profiles and inset panels that feature a thick frame around the edges. These cabinets are timeless because they’re simple and blend well with many different home styles. They’re so flexible and easy to incorporate, so now people are adding them to other parts of the home too.
However, following shaker cabinets is a brand new trend that seems to be taking over completely: reed cabinets. Reed cabinetry can be recognized by its textured front. They combine the Shaker cabinet profile with the best aspects of millwork. The front panel differs because it is ribbed instead of leaving it bare.
Reeded cabinetry pairs well with Shaker cabinets, so you can even use a hybrid of the two to keep things interesting. This style of cabinetry has been seen everywhere be it kitchens, bathrooms, and even other locations like mudrooms and vanities.
While we don’t think reeded cabinets will overtake Shaker cabinets, they may certainly join the line of classic cabinet looks for years to come. If you don’t want to commit to overhauling your cabinets, don’t worry. The reeded style has also been popping up on furniture and accent pieces, as well as lighting.
