Popular kitchen cabinet renovations
Handle-free kitchen cabinet designs
Handles and knobs have been used in kitchen cabinetry for centuries, and for obvious reasons, you can’t open a cabinet or draw without something to grip.
However, knobs and handles can add or subtract to a cabinet design, so what do you do if you can’t find a style of knob or handle you like? Well, in 2022, many people are choosing to have neither.
Handleless cabinet designs and technologies have trended strongly in 2022, and there is a range of options to achieve this sleek, minimalist effect, including:
- J-pull designs
- True handleless rails
- Push-to-open and more
These designs look fantastic and are safer, giving young hands less to grab onto and leaving no snag hazards for clothing and kitchen aprons.
Level up your kitchen pantry game
Home organisation makeover gurus, like Marie Kondo and the Home Edit’s Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, have inspired many to buy up on storage and reorganise their lives, especially in the kitchen.
This trend has led homeowners and kitchen designers to rethink the design of the humble pantry, prompting larger, modular pantries for their new kitchen cabinet renovation.
Rather than typical shelving, pantries in 2022 feature custom drawers, turnstiles, hangers, and smart storage solutions, allowing for ease of access, more organisation, and an aesthetically pleasing pantry storage space.
Smart storage kitchen cabinets
Smart storage is here to rid us of the burden that is dead space in our kitchen cabinets. The main offenders for dead space in the kitchen have always been the corner cabinets and high shelves in overhead cabinets.
Some of the most popular smart storage trends in 2022 include:
- Cantilevered pull-down overhead cabinet units
- Hideaway step ladders
- Corner cabinet swing-out storage
- Corner cabinet lazy-Susans
- Interlacing shelves and more

Hidden appliances
We are all used to seeing our kitchen appliances stand out, with many kitchens even using their appliances as status symbols. However, the truth is that kitchen appliances, like microwaves and refrigerators, can look a little ugly.
This has prompted many kitchens cabinet designers to build the kitchen appliances into the cabinetry and create custom doors and drawers for all kinds of utilities, including:
- Fridges and freezers
- Microwaves
- Blenders and food processors
- Dishwashers
- Kettles, coffee machines, and more
Aside from the aesthetic benefits of a clutter-free kitchen and hidden appliance cabinetry, it also makes your kitchen easier to keep clean. These designs stop your appliances from picking up oil residue, dust, and crumbs and make the open spaces easier to wipe down.
All that glitters is gold
Gold has always been a sign of wealth and status. While real gold is not something you would use in kitchen cabinetry and utilities, some materials, usually copper and brass, give the golden aesthetic.
Copper or brass cabinet handles and knobs can take your kitchen cabinet design to another level of class and style, especially if they match your copper or brass fixtures, like faucets and taps.
Library ladders
Sometimes technologies are timeless, and one way people have been gaining easier access to high overhead cabinetry while complimenting their kitchen cabinet renovation is by installing a classic library ladder.
Library ladders are a permanent feature and feature a roller rail at the top and wheels at the base that allows you to run the ladder from side to side providing access to high shelving and cabinetry. Library ladders have been particularly popular in homes with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry.
The doors
Kitchen cabinet doors define the style of your kitchen. Cabinet door trends tend to revolve, seeing vintage and retro styles making a resurgence among many other contemporary designs.
Some of the most popular kitchen cabinet door design trends in 2022 include:
- Modern farmhouse designs
- Handless flat panel doors
- Shaker style
- Beadboard
- Antique wood
- Tongue and groove
- Inset designs and more
While glass doors are a timeless design, an interesting, current cabinet trend, especially in units and apartments, is mirror finish doors. Mirrors can make a small space feel much bigger, particularly in small dwellings with an open living plan.
Cabinet colour trends
The style of trending cabinet doors is only complete with a colour scheme. 2022 has seen an array of strong colour pallets, including earthy tones, metallics and dark colours and a focus on heavy contrast.
Some of the most popular trending cabinet colour designs in 2022 include:
- Dark greens
- Navy and light blues
- Light Taupe
- Burnt oranges
- Blonde timbers
- Rusted and brushed metallics
- Creams
- Pinks
- Light greys
Of course, some classic shades stay in vogue year after year, including all white, heavy black, and black and white contrast combinations.
