Shift Toward Light Woodgrain and Engineered Material in Kitchen and Bath Cabinets

As home buyers and designers continue to seek out clean, calming interiors, a distinct trend toward light woodgrain cabinetry has emerged in the kitchen and bath industry.

Soft natural tones, like rift white oak, maple, beech and other pale wood looks, bring warmth and texture without overpowering or darkening the space.

Light woodgrains compliment a wide range of design styles, from modern and minimalist to organic and transitional, making them a smart, flexible choice for homebuilders looking to appeal to today’s buyers.

Burrows Cabinets’ Biscay cabinets (shown below with Slim Shaker doors) are a perfect light, neutral with the texture and warm look of woodgrain.

But it’s not just about aesthetics. Alongside the shift toward lighter tones, buyers and builders are also prioritizing sustainable, high-performance materials that offer long term durability as well as visual consistency. That’s where engineered wood products are gaining serious traction.

Engineered materials resist warping and cracking, and are not prone to material defects and color variations. Consistency and reliable quality are key benefits for builders looking to reduce service calls and deliver a premium finish that stands up to high use areas like kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms (Biscay cabinets with Slim Shaker doors shown below).

When engineered materials are produced with advanced techniques, like 3-D, grain matched texture and nature inspired grain, they deliver the look of wood along with added stability and durability. (Biscay base cabinets and Luxe uppers shown below)

Burrows Cabinets’ EVRGRN materials are to cabinets what engineered stone is to countertops and engineered wood is to flooring – the next generation in materials that are durable, sustainable and beautiful!

EVRGRN materials are available in a range of light, warm woodgrains with the visual appeal of wood and the durability of advance engineered material, helping home builders meet design expectations and delivering dependable, builder-direct value.
