Discover Your Design Style: Choose Cabinets That Reflect Your Personality

Redesigning your kitchen or bathroom is an exciting opportunity to create a space that reflects your unique style. Whether you prefer sleek and modern or cozy and rustic, your cabinets are crucial in defining your home’s personality. If you’ve taken our design style quiz, you’ve already learned what we think your top design style is. To help you navigate all of the top possibilities, here’s a guide to some popular design styles we’ve featured in our quiz and how they can influence your cabinetry choices.

Your Design Style is... Modern/Contemporary

If you love clean lines, minimalist spaces, and cutting-edge details, modern design is your best fit. In terms of cabinetry, consider slab cabinet doors, slim shaker styles, or reeded designs for a sleek aesthetic. Modern cabinets pair beautifully with muted tones, natural woods, and quartz countertops featuring dramatic waterfall edges. To complete this look, use minimalist lighting as your statement piece.

Your Design Style is... Traditional/Classic/Transitional

Timeless, refined, and enduring—these qualities define your style. Traditional cabinetry features classic shaker-raised panels or inset styles that never go out of fashion. In transitional spaces, traditional design gets a fresh twist, balancing modern simplicity with those classic details.

Consider rich historic paint colors, warm wood tones, and countertops in soapstone, granite, or marble materials. A special detail like a glass-front cabinet may add depth and character to your space. These elements will help your home exude sophistication and charm.

Your Design Style is... Eclectic/Boho/Maximalism

Colorful, bold, and unapologetically you—eclectic style reflects your personality in your home. Your cabinets call for vibrant hues, retro finishes, or unexpected textures. Open shelving can display your favorite collectibles, while unique hardware can stand alone as a statement piece.

You thrive in spaces filled with layers of color, pattern, and texture. Vintage finds, handmade pieces, and global treasures bring joy to your home. Whether you’re hosting friends or simply enjoying your curated space, your kitchen radiates creativity and warmth.

Your Design Style is... Luxe

Elegant, glamorous, and high-end—your style is the epitome of sophistication. Luxe cabinets feature rich wood tones like walnut or cherry or sleek gloss finishes that exude opulence. Polished metal, brass, or crystal hardware adds a sparkle of refinement.

Exotic stone or high-end quartz countertops, paired with statement lighting (hello, crystal chandelier), elevate your kitchen to a luxurious retreat. Every detail, from sumptuous textiles to exquisite accents, reflects your impeccable taste. Luxe style is about treating yourself—and your kitchen—like royalty.

Your Design Style is... Rustic/Natural

Cozy, warm, and nature-inspired, rustic design is for those who enjoy the outdoors and want to include it in their everyday life. Rustic cabinetry leans into natural materials, with wood, stone, and metals being the main focus. Neutral palettes mixed with earthy blues, greens, and reds will help your space gain a sense of timeless comfort. Whether you’re sitting by the fire or cooking a meal with loved ones, your home is a welcoming place that balances nature and elegance.

Your Design Style is... Coastal

Breezy, light, and inspired by the ocean, coastal design is a mix of casual and modern. Soft whites, calming blues, and natural materials like driftwood and coral set the tone for a serene space. Cabinetry in lighter woods or pastel hues brings the calming effect of sandy beaches into your home.

Whether you prefer the laid-back beach bungalow or the elegance of coastal grandma style, your kitchen feels fresh and inviting. Add sea glass-inspired hardware or linen textures for an extra touch.
