Orem homes and their cabinets
The median Orem home was built in 1989. About 36% of homes are from before 1980, 35% from 1980–1999, and 29% from 2000 or later, with 58% owner-occupied.
What that means for your kitchen
Oak grain
Oak has an open grain that can show through paint. If you want a smooth, modern look, ask about grain filling; if you like a bit of texture, it can be skipped.
Raised-panel doors
Cathedral or raised-panel doors from the 80s and 90s still look fresh in a modern color. Painting changes the color, not the door style.
Two-tone
A painted island in navy or sage with lighter perimeter cabinets is an easy way to make a familiar layout feel new.
