Cabinet styles – Shaker-style cabinets remain popular, as they are simple and classic looking. Contemporary styles have straight lines and are minimalist. For example, this style has flat fronts with no knobs or pull, and the trending finish is matte. A rustic design in kitchen cabinets is characterized by warm wood, and it has been around for a long time and is especially popular in cottages.  

Cabinet hardware – Nickel hardware has been around for decades, but now copper fixtures are trending. Copper will work with the right cabinet style, especially if it is darker, like emerald green or black. If the kitchen style is eclectic, bold cabinet hardware in patterns or bright colours will complete the look and feel of the cabinets.

Counters – Keep in mind when suggesting a counter top style how durable it needs to be for the homeowner's lifestyle. It's great if it looks good, but it also may need to be stain resistant or low maintenance. Quartz is still reining as the number one kitchen countertop choice among homeowners. The non-porous kitchen countertop material is resistant against bacteria, stains, heat, and scratches and is low maintenance. Some other popular trends are butcher block counters, contemporary concrete, and waterfall islands.
