Is glazing stained wood cabinets going out of style?

I kinda like the look of a dark glaze on a stained wood cabinet, but don't want to regret it in the near future.

Glazing stained wood won't go out of style

Glazing stained wood is already out of style

Glazing stained wood will become outdated sooner or later

well, you would have had a lot of years to enjoy them. i dont think we can ever choose something that wont go out of style. right now "timeless" is in style. i know folks will be in here squawking in 8 more years saying they have a dated white kitchen with shaker doors and subway tile, and they'll be advised to rip out the subway tile and replace the backsplash with thumbtacks, and paint the doors purple. who knows.

style only matters to put the odds in your favor if you are selling in the next 5 min. if you arent, go with what you like.

I dunno - I think you gotta really *love* something to still like it once it becomes passé. I don't really feel that strongly about glazing stained wood, it just seems to bring out the detail nicely.

I remember liking glazed painted cabinets when that first gained popularity. I wasn't buying cabinets then, though, and I think I'd be so disappointed now if I had.

I think it's personal preference. Glazed cabinets have been around for a while now and I think they are here to stay. If your main concern is resale value then maybe don't do a glaze, but if your goal is to get "your kitchen" and you like the glaze then I say go with it. We went with a maple cabinet with a chestnut stain and chocolate glaze. We are completely happy.
