For years, white cabinets have reigned supreme in kitchen design. And while white offers a timeless and versatile backdrop, there’s a whole world of color waiting to be explored!
At M&R Kitchens + Baths, we believe your kitchen should be a reflection of your unique personality. That’s why we encourage you to think beyond white and consider unexpected cabinet colors that can transform your space and bring your YKYW vision to life.
Why Embrace Color?
- Personality: Cabinet color is a powerful tool for expressing your personal style. Deep blues evoke a sense of calm and sophistication, while vibrant greens bring energy and vibrancy. Even black, when used strategically, can create a dramatic and luxurious feel.
- Mood: Color can significantly impact the mood of your kitchen. Warm tones like reds and yellows create a welcoming and energetic atmosphere, while cool tones like blues and greens promote relaxation and tranquility.
- Focal Point: Bold cabinet colors can create a stunning focal point in your kitchen. Imagine a kitchen island in a rich navy blue or a wall of cabinets in a vibrant emerald green. These unexpected pops of color add visual interest and personality.
Exploring Unexpected Colors:
- Blues: From deep navy to soft sky blue, there’s a shade of blue to suit every style. Navy cabinets create a sophisticated and timeless look, while lighter blues offer a fresh and airy feel.
- Greens: Green is associated with nature and tranquility, making it a popular choice for kitchens. Deep forest greens create a sense of warmth and grounding, while lighter sage greens offer a calming and refreshing vibe.
- Black: Black cabinets can make a bold statement in your kitchen. When paired with lighter countertops and backsplashes, black creates a dramatic and luxurious feel.
- Grays: Gray is a versatile neutral that can be both warm and cool, depending on its undertones. Lighter grays offer a fresh and airy feel, while darker grays create a more dramatic and sophisticated look.
Tips for Choosing Cabinet Colors:
- Consider Your Lighting: Natural light can significantly impact how colors appear in your kitchen. Test paint samples in your space at different times of day to see how they look in various lighting conditions.
- Think About Your Backsplash and Countertops: Choose cabinet colors that complement your backsplash and countertops. If you have bold countertops, opt for more neutral cabinet colors.
- Don’t Forget the Hardware: Cabinet hardware can enhance or detract from your chosen color. Consider the finish and style of your hardware when selecting cabinet colors.
