Choosing the right color for your kitchen cabinet painting project is probably one of the hardest steps. The good news is that you don’t have to pick just one color thanks to the two-tone color trend.
Homeowners and designers alike are always looking for ways to make painting kitchen cabinets stand out, and two-tone colors are a sure way to make a lasting impression. It’s easy to fall in love with this look!
Here is some advice from the N-Hance team for implementing this trend in your De Soto home.
Begin With A Strong Focal Point
Start by choosing a specific set of cabinets to be your focal point. This will be your key to pulling off the two-tone painted cabinet look. Some common picks could be a kitchen island, coffee bar, breakfast nook, or a built-in desk area. No matter where you choose, this spot will be where a unique splash of color will be applied to draw the eye to that spot in the room. When it comes down to choosing the color, don’t be afraid to go bold with a color that pops, like a cool jewel tone.
Think About More Than Just The Paint
A lot of time, people will forget to think about more than just the paint color when they are trying to go outside of the box. Try pairing a contrasting glass, laminate, or aluminum bottom cabinet with the traditional wood ones on top to make sure it all matches.
Pick A Darker Paint Color To Anchor Bottom Cabinets
Did you know that by applying a darker shade to the lower cabinets and a lighter color on the top will help to ground your kitchen and add the illusion of more square footage as the lighter color will draw the eye upward?
You can also consider choosing two colors that are in the same family. For example, white or cream-colored upper cabinets will look stunning with lower cabinets that are colored a light grey. While these colors are similar, yet subtly different, they can make a big impact when they are paired together.
Identify Coordinating Elements
You’ll want to choose at least one element that coordinates and ties the design together because you’ll have cabinets painted two different colors. You could choose colors that are different shades but come from the same color family, or use the same hardware for all of your cabinets.
