Kitchen cabinets that are in demand for 2011 are dark, simple styles with flat panels which look good with light colored counters.This is by far the most popular style.  Another 2011 style uses upper cabinet doors with textured glass in a stainless steel frame which are lighted from within. One other trendy style this year is using light wood cabinets with dark slab counters. But the ultimate design right now is having an integrated wall of cabinets, refrigerator, and ovens. One final "in" look is using exotic woods paired with stainless steel or stone. Honeyoak cabinets are "out" which can be stained dark or painted white because white kitchens are still very popular. The most popular kitchen hardware to go with the newest cabinets are brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and chrome. To get a truly finished look, the cabinet hardware and faucets should have the same finish. Some suggested styles are the Classic Cup Pull, European Square Pull, European Railing Bar Pull, Nouveau Nickel, and the T-Bar Pull. The most popular faucets right now are those that have a tallgoose neck and a pull-down sprayer hose with touch control that you just tap on and off. Sleek and clean lines with the latest modern conveniences is what is dominating the design scene in 2011.
