TRADITIONAL KITCHEN STYLING IS ON THE RISE

Transitional (or casual) styling has been at the forefront of cabinet design for years. This style halted many previously popular ornate details and pivoted cabinet design to a clean-lined, simple, and cohesive modern feel.

This year, traditional elements, like elevated door styles, larger mouldings, and more ornate architectural details, are slowly mixing with the transitional feel.

Aristokraft’s newest partial overlay door style, Dana, is helping to lead that change.

Dana is the perfect mix of both trending styles. It can be used in any room of choice. This door style has a flat center panel, a 5-piece drawer front, and is available in our durable Purestyle offering (read all about the benefits of Purestyle here). If you are new to the world of cabinets and aren’t quite sure what partial overlay means, below is an excellent example of partial overlay versus full overlay for comparison.

Partial overlay leaves a portion of the cabinet face frame revealed at all times. An advantage to this style includes not necessarily needing decorative hardware for the cabinet to function. It also provides more clearance space for the opening and closing of doors. These doors are almost always more cost-effective as well!

IMPACTFUL KITCHEN ENHANCEMENTS

Beautiful, functional kitchens include great storage and organization. They go together like bread and butter and Aristokraft loves to keep its designs simple, yet impactful.

Deep drawers are especially popular right now, replacing wall storage solutions so homeowners can include bigger and more abundant windows in their homes. This allows for natural sunlight to shine through, an assured increase in our health and wellness. So it’s no wonder Aristokraft has added a deep drawer to its tall oven cabinets. Imagine the storage possibilities! Deep cabinets can handle everything from pots and lids to Tupperware for leftovers. There are no wrong answers when it comes to storage and no one cabinet has to be dedicated to just one category of household essentials.

When considering what items you need hidden storage for, keep in mind that you may have some decorative essentials that might be better stored behind glass! Don’t be afraid to show off those mugs you’ve been collecting through the years. Dedicate a space to display them to bring joy to yourself and your guests. Displaying items behind glass can give your kitchen the personality it deserves.

WORK FROM HOME OFFICE ENHANCEMENTS

Working from home is all about form and function in your space. Simple cabinet enhancements elevate your work environment while helping you keep organized and motivated to get those daily tasks completed.

Aristokraft has introduced a simple way to keep all of that paperwork filed away, but within reach, with the Desk File Drawer Cabinet. Keep your work-from-home files organized and within arm’s reach with this newly redesigned cabinet. Its taller opening makes it even easier to retrieve files.

And they don’t stop there! Make your dream office come to life by adding an open built-in bookcase, cabinet drawers, and an under-counter knee drawer. All of these cabinets will work hard to keep your space aesthetically beautiful and functional for years to come!

The first new stain is called Craggy Peak, a richly dark gray with brown undertones that borders the edge between the two color palettes with beautiful precision.

Multi-Dimensional Stains

The two new multidimensional stains, Iron Slate and Swift, are semi-transparent, allowing the natural wood tones to subtly influence the warm gray or latte colored stains applied to species like Alder, Cherry, Oak and Walnut. There is a very unique aspect to the color build of these particular stains. There is an intentional transparency to encourage overall color influence of gray or brown, and an intentional freeing of the natural movement and texture gained through visible grain like only real wood provides.

In an age of manufactured design with the intent to look natural, there is a refreshing appeal associated with drawing out authentic natural characteristics and allowing mother nature to take the lead on the arrangement of color tones and depth added to a space. Additionally, we not only set the color contribution to enhance the real wood underneath, but also layered subtle tones on top of them to help emphasize the graining.

These cabinet finishes provide an alternative use of popular color trends by introducing a more natural overall aesthetic. The stains work well alongside other colors because of the variation in the complexity of the colors, making them a versatile choice for many design styles.

New Paint Colors

We also don’t want you to miss out on three exciting and extremely usable new paint colors.

The intentionally dusty blue of Grays Harbor can create a cozy scene or, the bright freshness of Fleeting Green and Brightest White which infuse light into any space. These are colors that can confidently be used in current home décor trends.

However your preference sways, cozy or bright, a personalized look can easily be achieved when finishes possess such usability even in their complex color build. Brightest White is intended to be just that, one of the brightest whites in the market, free of undertones and color influences which makes it pair perfectly with any adjacent color.

Fleeting Green is just the slightest hint of a cheerful green infusion into a primarily white base, allowing the impression of color without having to make a bold statement.

All of these considerations are purposeful with the intent to build color confidence for stretching the boundaries in cabinetry palettes beyond the basic white kitchen and infuse the space with depth and inspiration that provides flexibility and longevity.
