5 Colorful Kitchen Cabinet Paint Styles:


Two Toned Effects:

You can safely combine different hues in your kitchen without encountering a color clash or contrasting overkill. Kitchen cabinets that have a lighter color that’s dominating a darker color help to open up space and prevent cabinets and shelves from feeling too crowded. The overall look is subtle yet elegant. Using two tones will work well for an understated modern look or you can let your soul fly by choosing something funky and eclectic.

Black with Bright Colors:

Black cabinets are very hot right now. Black can infuse a kitchen with a sense of boldness and mystique.  But for some, it can be heavy and oppressive. The way to pull it off so that it’s nothing short of invigorating for everyone is to buoy it with a wood grain look or a bright, bold color that will make it pop.

Take On Neutrals:

Neutral hues tend to be perennial favorites for most people. Neutral colors work with almost any design style and are the ultimate for a practical yet elegant appearance.  Try thinking beyond the typical white and ivory color schemes.  There is certainly nothing wrong with using one or both of those, but consider pairing it with a contrasting color. Using stronger neutrals will give you the option of pulling in colors like grey or dark brown that can have a more pronounced presence.

Natural Wood Blended With Painted Surfaces:

This is a great option if you are torn between the beauty of wood grain and the vibrant look of paint colors. So how about using both? Try using a stain or varnish on your wall cabinets and choose a complementary paint color to make the wood stand out.
