"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."
"'Honey oak-tone cabinets have a wonderful color and texture,' says Laurie Coton, real estate broker and principal designer at Coton House. 'They aren't too yellow and not too brown. The in-between neutrality works beautifully with so many of the backsplash and countertop options found today.' Coton loves how these tones are refined, 'bridge the gap between modern and transitional,' and feel 'natural, grounded, and timeless.' Fioravanti says that since the pandemic, people have been gravitating toward warmer, more natural materials that evoke a nesting quality."
Trends cycle back every 20 to 30 years, and 1990s aesthetics are resurfacing in home design. Honey oak-tone cabinets feature a warm golden hue with amber undertones and are returning after being painted over or replaced. These cabinets appeared in '90s TV kitchens like Full House and Home Improvement. Honey tones offer a neutral balance between yellow and brown, pairing well with many backsplash and countertop options while bridging modern and transitional styles. Since the pandemic, homeowners have favored warmer, natural materials with a nesting quality. Contemporary honey-toned cabinets tend to be lighter, more matte, and conceal smudges better than painted finishes.
