The Kitchen Advantage

October 22, 2025

Natale Builders and Kitchen Advantage work together to bring our clients the most current options in kitchen design.

Kitchen cabinetry will continue into 2019 with a minimalist trend. Modern cabinets have cleaner lines and are free of ornate design work often found in traditional cabinets. While white and gray kitchens continue to be the most popular, custom paint colors are unique and build character in your kitchen. Omega Cabinetry has teamed up with Sherwin Williams to provide limitless color choices for your cabinets.

Quartz countertops will continue to be the trend for 2019. Cambria comes in over 160 colors. The patterns and finishing techniques continue to make it very popular. With their wide array of color options, they have many that resemble the look of marble with the durability of quartz. The high gloss finish is still used the most in Western New York but matte finishes are on the rise. Putting an oversized sink or a large apron front sink in your countertop is also growing in popularity.
