52 | Kitchen & Bath Design News | June 2015 Product Trend Report its durability is worth the cost, says Mullineaux. Quality Cus- tom Cabinetry uses furniture-grade hard maple for its painted cabinets, which they are seeing high demand for. At Grandview Products, Teresa Hays, executive v.p., says birch is used most often, and while painted white is defnitely in demand, the company's dark "cofee" stain is the most popular choice right now. STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS Outward appearance is essential, but equally important is the functionality of the cabinet. Designers need to be alert to the storage options available, and what will work best for each in- dividual consumer. Maximizing usable space is a high priority, and a variety of options exist to achieve that goal. As people downsize their homes, they realize that orga- nization and making use of every inch of space is hugely important, says O'Neill. "Organization with storage solutions adds functionality to cabinetry for every room of the home. And this can include items such as sliding shelves, cutlery draw- er inserts and wastebaskets, to name a few," she notes. spectrum, however, Canyon Creek is also seeing a greater de- mand for both stained and painted black cabinets, and softer greys and charcoals are also emerging. White is perfect for lightening and brightening up a workspace, accord- ing to Evans. "It's clean and simple, and lends a great deal of fexibility for com- plimentary accents." Grey has become the new hot neutral color, she adds, and achieving that look isn't limited to just paint. "We are also seeing a lot of weathered or reclaimed wood looks in grey as well," she says. O'Neill agrees that maple is the most popular wood choice, but notes that cherry has also increased. Paints are in high demand, she says, and people are playing it safe, using neutral colors. "While grey has proven to be trending, white is still the most popular paint choice. As far as stains, mid tones are most popular," she adds. While maple costs more than some of the other wood species, Snaidero 's quintessential Italian kitchen, Opera, includes organization features that improve functionality. Its concept can ofer the addition of open shelving or fully integrated solutions. It is available in melamine, laminate, metallic, mica, gloss or matte lacquers or woods, for over 120 solutions.
