win for busy Florida families. CABINETS: WARMTH IS B ARMTH IS BACK
If your budget is tight, don't replace—reface. • The "Two-Tone" Trend: A very popular 2026 look is a two-tone kitchen—for example, navy blue or sage green base cabinets paired with warm white or light oak upper cabinets. • Nature-Inspired Tones: Move away from stark whites. Warm neutrals like oatmeal, sand, and soft creams are the current preference. • Storage is King: If you are doing a larger remodel, prioritize smart storage. Pull-out spice racks, "appliance garages" (to hide the toaster and blender), and deep drawers for pots and pans are features that make a buyer say, "I need this kitchen." While granite remains a durable choice, Quartz has officially taken the lead in 2026. • The Look: Buyers want quartz with "bold veining" that mimics the look of high-end marble but without the maintenance headache. • The Finish: Honed or Matte finishes are trending over high-gloss. They hide fingerprints better and feel more "organic" and modern. • The Slab Backsplash: Instead of traditional subway tile, many Florida homeowners are running their countertop material all the way up the wall. It’s a clean, luxurious look that eliminates grout lines—meaning less scrubbing for the next owner. COUNTERS: QUARTZ VS. GRANITE
