According to designer Valerie Helgeson, 'Frugality is key.' She highlights that with today's economy, many prefer to utilize existing features like oak cabinets instead of changing them. This approach is influenced by current design trends that embrace natural tones and nostalgia, making oak cabinets more desirable. Additionally, people resist the hassle of renovation costs, thus opting to enhance their spaces by simply painting walls or rearranging existing decor.
Helgeson advises homeowners to be cautious with color choices when dealing with oak cabinetry. 'With certain wood tones, a room can quickly take on an overwhelmingly warm hue, so finding complementary tones is crucial,' she says. To ensure satisfaction, she recommends testing various shades in the actual space, aligning them with the elements you plan to keep, to avoid future regret.
