Black & Green Kitchen Cabinets: Bold Trends Taking Over Lake Forest Homes

Goodbye, All-White. Hello, Bold & Beautiful.

We love a good White Shaker moment (it’ll never go out of style), but lately Lake Forest homeowners are leaning into moodier, richer tones. Think sleek black shaker cabinets and soft sage greens that make a kitchen feel like it walked out of a design magazine.

The best part? You don’t have to go custom or pay custom prices. Our exclusive Rose Hill Cabinets at Lotus Home Improvement deliver these trending looks in all-plywood, soft-close quality — without the 12-week wait or $25K price tag.


Black Cabinets: Chic, Luxe, and a Little Dramatic

Black shaker cabinets are basically the little black dress of the kitchen world.

  • Pair them with brass or gold hardware for a glam look.

  • Mix with white uppers for a high-contrast, designer vibe.

  • Add a wood island for balance and warmth.

They’re bold but timeless, and yes — they’ll still look good when TikTok moves on to the next trend.


Sage Green Cabinets: Fresh but Timeless

Not into full drama? Enter sage green. It’s calm, earthy, and works in kitchens, laundry rooms, or even as an island accent. Pair it with quartz countertops and a patterned backsplash and suddenly your “builder-basic” kitchen feels straight out of Architectural Digest.

And unlike neon color trends, sage has staying power. It’s bold enough to feel current, but subtle enough you won’t regret it in five years.


Mix & Match: Two-Tone Done Right

The secret sauce? Two-tone kitchens.

  • White uppers with black lowers.

  • Sage island with white perimeter cabinets.

  • Black base cabinets with wood accents for warmth.

Two-tone design instantly adds interest without overwhelming your space — and Rose Hill Cabinets make it doable and affordable.


Flat Pack, Fully Assembled, Always Exclusive

Like all our Rose Hill Cabinets, you can order black or green styles flat-pack for DIY or fully assembled if you’d rather sip coffee while someone else does the work. Either way, you’re getting the same premium quality — and remember, you’ll only find these cabinets at Lotus Home Improvement in Grayslake.
