Last night, I was flipping through the television stations and came across ABC’s Modern Family. For those who have never seen the series, there are two things I love about the show. First, the comedy is hilarious and always makes me laugh. Second, the kitchens on the series are just spectacular. Each is designed with a different style, but my favorite is the kitchen owned by the Dunphy’s.

Claire and Phil Dunphy’s kitchen stands out for its traditional feel, but also because many of its unique features are today’s latest trends in home design.

Variety of Cabinet Styles

I just love the combination of cabinet styles that are used within this space. This kitchen incorporates a variety of glassed-in cabinet doors, open shelves and closed cabinetry that thrives in today’s modern style. It’s a look that shakes up top-to-bottom built-ins by introducing creativity and diversity.

Wood-Paneled Appliances

Today, more homeowners are hiding their kitchen appliances behind wood panels for a clean, simplistic look. Even in Modern Family’s television set, the kitchen’s refrigerator is covered in wood panels that match the cabinets along the wall. This trend helps bring a welcoming and seamless look to the room for the family of five. It’s very easy to achieve this look for your kitchen because many companies are offering refrigerators that can be fitted for custom cabinetry.

Attractive Cabinet Color

The color of the cabinetry is just stunning and can be used within any home. It’s a color that is traditional, yet delivers a contemporary look. Personally, I find it to be an excellent option that can attract current homeowners and potential buyers with its warm and attractive appeal.
