Yes, that's right - the cabinetry with the warm, golden hue "with amber undertones," as Victoria Fioravanti, partner and creative director at Showcase Kitchens/Showcase Tile & Stone, describes it, has come back after spending many years as a dated kitchen feature that was painted over or completely replaced. These cabinets were a '90s phenomenon to the point that they made it into the kitchens of Full House and Home Improvement - and people (and homebuyers) are loving them again today. Here's why.

According to the NKBA Trends Report, wood cabinets are all the rage, with 59% of surveyed designers, remodelers, showroom professionals, and contractors identifying it as a popular trend. More specifically, 51% of respondents stated that white oak is the preferred cabinet material among those currently renovating. Compared to the orange-toned oak cabinets of the early 2000s, white oak is a bleached cousin with ashy undertones and an almost whitewashed finish.

The trend towards modern kitchens emphasizes simplicity and functionality, highlighting the shift from traditional baking tools to more technologically advanced gadgets.

Rather than the minimalism that's regularly embraced in the 21st century, the 1990s hinged on a sense of warmth and coziness. The warm-walled '90s color scheme provides a great retreat from cold, harsh colors.
