If you’re looking to modernize your kitchen, one effective way to do so is by updating the color of your kitchen cabinets. However, with so many options available, choosing the right color can be overwhelming. Here are eight tips that can help you achieve a contemporary look when painting your kitchen cabinets:

  1. Consider open shelves to create an open, modern feel. Keep the decor sophisticated and understated.

  2. Go monotone by painting the cabinet surfaces and hardware, like knobs and hinges, the same color. This creates a sleek, bold statement.

  3. Choose gold hardware for a clean, contemporary look. Pair bright white cabinets with warm gold knobs and pulls to achieve a cohesive look throughout your kitchen.

  4. Try a two-toned approach by painting your upper kitchen cabinets a light tone and the base cabinets a darker shade or contrasting color. You can also paint your kitchen island a unique, bold color while painting the rest of your cabinets a more neutral choice.

  5. Incorporate natural elements by staining your island and painting the rest of your cabinets. This combines biophilic design with a modern, sleek look.

  6. Experiment with colors like deep slate, soft gray or greige, or even light blue for a coastal comfort vibe. Don’t shy away from bold colors that are clean and calming yet still make a statement.

  7. Go classic with white cabinets. They’re always a safe bet for a modern look as they’re bright, contemporary, and flexible when it comes to styling.

  8. Embrace minimalism by choosing a minimalistic look for your kitchen cabinets. This creates a clean, uncluttered space that’s both simple and functional.
