A popular phrase with the youth of today is “It’s giving…” followed by some adjective or noun pretending to be an adjective. For example somebody could look at your kitchen and say something like, “It’s giving Tuscany on a warm summer’s night.” Hopefully they aren’t saying something like, “It’s giving outdated, but not in a good way.” If it is giving that last one, the team here at N-Hance of Greenville can help get you to that first one. Our cabinet refinishing service is a great and affordable way to create an Italian-inspired kitchen you’ll love for the years to come. Here’s what you can expect.
Getting the Right Italian Colors
No, we aren’t talking about the iconic red, white, and green of their flag. We’re talking about the warm and rustic colors you see along the Italian countryside. It’s very natural and also incorporates colors such as burnt orange and terra-cotta, soothing yellows or golds, and other inviting yet luxurious colors. Just seeing it in your head right now probably makes you feel more relaxed.
When we’re doing a cabinet refinishing for an Italian-styled kitchen, we’re going for a well-loved feel instead of a sleek, shiny, and modern one. In other words, cozy, comfortable and elegant. If you’re looking to refinish your kitchen cabinets to be Italian-inspired, some colors and finishes to consider are:
Yellows and Golds
Yellows and golds will make it feel like your kitchen cabinets have been kissed and warmed by the soft sunshine of the Italian countryside. It’s an amazing, buttery gold tone that’s sure to wow you and potential house guests. But you need to make sure the rest of your kitchen flows with it. You’ll want natural hardwood floors and countertops made of cream quartz or gold-veined marble.
Terracotta
Italian culture can be found in a nice terracotta or burnt orange hue. It provides the right touch of old-world elegance you would expect to see in a traditional Italian kitchen. When you’re thinking about changing up your cabinet colors for an Italian look, you need to really consider terracotta.
Cream
Stark white isn’t really what you want in an Italian kitchen. That would make it feel more modern and less rustic. Instead, you can use cream and make it look like a scene under the Tuscan sun. Cream provides warmth and neutrality which will pair perfectly with virtually any accent pieces you want to bring in.
Natural Hardwood
At the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with the natural look. This might fall more under our classic cabinet refinishing service. However, you do need to be careful here and make sure the rest of your kitchen is properly updated.
Distressed or Antique Finish
The finish is really the overall key. There’s a big difference between distressed and antique finishes, and simply damaged and worn down. It’s a hard line plenty of local cabinet refinishers struggle to find. Luckily, our team also helps to capture the lived-in, well-loved vibe that is essential to an Italian-inspired kitchen.
