5 Kitchen Remodeling Trends DFW Homeowners Love

DFW homeowners are remodeling their kitchens in 2026 with new trends. From moody cabinet colors to glass doors and ladders these trends will upgrade your home. 

Vintage Vibes 

Kicking off the list is an old school feeling and look, vintage vibes! When remodeling your kitchen in DFW, homeowners are opting for more vintage appliances and/or furniture to give their home a cozy yet modern vibe. One way of achieving this look is to find pieces from estate sales, salvage shops and vintage stores. Modern appliance manufacturers today are also making modern appliances look vintage to give homeowners that vintage feel with a blend of modern luxury. Adding vintage home decor pieces can also elevate your kitchen with a vintage feeling. Think old rollers, coffee makers and mugs/glasses to balance the new with the old. 

Moody Cabinet Colors 

In 2026, colors are popping and we are seeing a trend in the blue/green pallet. What started with greens on accent walls or as color drenches across rooms has made its way into the kitchen space. Moody greens or deep blues have become a big trend in kitchen cabinets in 2026 and give a space a custom look without breaking the bank. In addition to colors, a big trend with natural wood cabinets has emerged and the natural raw wood tones are making a big comeback. If wood cabinets are not your aesthetic, you can ground your bold color cabinets with wood hardware to ground the look. 

86 Upper Cabinets 

While some homeowners in DFW are trending toward moody colors or wood tones, others are eliminating upper cabinets all together! This could make a small space look much bigger especially if you do not need the extra storage and have windows in your space. Ceiling height can also look extended when you take out all upper cabinets completely and allow the space to breathe more. If you need more storage as well, you can carve out a window sill space for open space storage as well. This will allow the open concept feeling with no upper cabinets but give you some additional space underneath a window sill. 

Embrace Flow 

When laying out your kitchen, embracing the overall flow is a big trend for kitchens in 20206. Following the triangle flow, which states the sink, refrigerator and range should form a triangle has been around for years but is making a comeback in 2026. Having your kitchen set up for better flow not only allows you to experience the space in a more fluid manner but also gives you the ability to flex in new trends. 

Contrast

Creating contrast in your kitchen can really make the space bold and new. Several ways exist to achieve this look but you can tailor the contrast to your own unique styles. One way to create contrast in your kitchen is with your backsplash and cabinets. For example, create a bold hexagon shaped patterned design with your back splash that is balanced and grounded with a standard neutral color cabinet. Another fun way to contrast elements in your kitchen is with your furniture. Imagine bold blue cabinets with warm leather wood counter height stools. This contrast between bold and grounded also allows you to mix in textures and patterns to your own style and preferences.
