1 Colorful—or White—Cabinetry “We are seeing a strong surge in the request for custom colors in cabinetry,” says Vicky Serany, founder and principal of Cary’s Southern Studio Interior Design. “One of our favorite recent projects includes cabinetry painted in SherwinWilliams Naval, which is the brand’s color of the year for 2020, and we love the bold statement that it makes,” she says. White cabinetry also continues to hold strong as a big trend for bathroom and kitchen renovations, according to Luisa Gomez, director of Dream Home Design in Cary. She says white has replaced wood stain as the most popular choice over the last decade. “Most people only do one big renovation in their lives, so when they’re making this investment, they realize that white cabinets may fall out of style at some point, but they’re always going to come back.”
