Creative Ideas for Kitchen Cabinets

kayleigh — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 16:06:41 +0000

When you think about it, kitchens are almost entirely cabinet so the choice you make for your kitchen cabinetry is one of the most impactful elements you’ll choose. They provide practical storage that is essential to the space, but they also set the tone and style for the entire room. If you are about to remodel your kitchen, there are plenty of creative kitchen cabinet ideas that will breathe new life into your kitchen. Here we’ll take a look at a few kitchen cabinet styles that will hopefully inspire you for your upcoming remodel.

Modern Open Shelving

Open shelving has become more and more popular over the past few years. Adding just one section of open shelves to your upper cabinet space adds a contemporary vibe to the space. They are sleek and minimal and allow you to showcase dishware, décor, or cookbooks. Eliminating upper cabinets in some areas of the kitchen can make a smaller kitchen feel more spacious while also adding a touch of sophistication to your kitchen design.

Two-Tone Cabinets

Gone are the days of monotone cabinetry. Using two different colors for your kitchen cabinets adds depth and dimension to your design. Consider mixing and matching finishes as well—perhaps your lower cabinets are a wood grain finish, and your upper cabinets are a smooth, painted finish. Doing this adds texture and interest and a striking contrast to keep your kitchen from looking boring. Two-tone cabinetry adds a modern twist while also maintaining balance and harmony.

Glass-Front Cabinets

Glass-front cabinets instantly add elegance to a space. They are the perfect way to add a touch of formal sophistication and allow you to display cherished china or decorative spaces while still keeping things protected, unlike open shelving. Glass-front cabinets are timeless and can add visual interest to the space. Consider using glass-front cabinets in only one section, or even just along the top of your cabinets just below the ceiling. Either look will add elegant, timeless appeal.

Vintage and Retro Cabinets

If you’re a fan of vintage aesthetics, you might consider using retro-inspired or true retro kitchen cabinets and pieces. Recycling older cabinets can be a cool way to add character and personality to your kitchen. Cabinets with ornate details, curved edges, and distressed finishes create a nostalgic atmosphere. Keep your eye out for estate sales in your area or go to antique stores to find quality pieces that can be restored and used anew in your home. Adding a few older pieces to a modern kitchen remodel created a unique fusion of old and new and makes your space feel built-in and intentional.

Creative Hardware

A simple update to your cabinet hardware can make a major impact on your kitchen design. Knobs, handles, hinges, and pulls can all be updated and swapped out for a whole new look that transforms your kitchen and creates statement pieces out of your existing cabinetry. Experiment with unique shapes, materials, and finishes that fit your style and personality to complement your kitchen style. Geometric shapes can add a modern, edgy look while brass hardware is always a touch of warmth and elegance.

Cabinetry plays a major role in defining the ambiance and aesthetic of your kitchen. Explore creative ideas that help make your kitchen your own and transform your culinary space into a place you are proud to show off. There are endless ways to express your creativity and individuality throughout your entire home, and that doesn’t need to stop at your kitchen. Call your local Kitchen Solvers today to set up a free in-home consultation and start dreaming up your new kitchen today.

Classic Kitchen Color Schemes

kayleigh — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 15:23:15 +0000

Color trends come and go in all interior design, but often you see the boldest color choices in the kitchen. Whether it’s the petal pink of the 1950s or the avocado green of the 1970s, color finds its way into the kitchen in dramatic ways. Here we’ll explore some classic kitchen color schemes that stand the test of time and add fun and personality to any kitchen.

Blue + Brown

Any color combination that exists naturally in the world is an instant classic. Blue and brown can be seen everywhere you look—the beautiful blue sky is a backdrop to rich brown trees, golden brown cornfields, or sandy brown beaches. In the kitchen, this color scheme can bring a bright, vibrant energy to the space. Or by adjusting the hues this combination can have a soothing or calming effect like in this kitchen here.

Black + White

Another timeless classic color combination is the highly contrasted black and white. While black is the absence of all color and provides power and drama, white is the presence of all color and provides an open and clean look. This color scheme will truly never become unfashionable and can be applied to many different interior design styles. Here it is seen in a modern farmhouse kitchen. The white makes the kitchen open, clean, and inviting and the black adds depth, warmth, and drama.

Green + White

Although the bright avocado green may not be in style anymore, other greens have stuck around in kitchen design. We’ve seen green on appliances and countertops in the past, but today you’ll see cabinetry as the main application of this hue. This calm, natural color has risen in popularity over the last few years and is now one of the most commonly used colors in the kitchen. White will always make your kitchen feel bright, open, and clean. Green adds a lively, healthy feel—hopefully encouraging you to eat your veggies.

All White

Are you sensing a theme? Color and bright hues will always ebb and flow through design trends, but white will forever be an anchor in kitchen design. Having an all-white, permanent backdrop allows you to add color in other areas that are more flexible and can be changed easily as your personal design and preferences change. In this kitchen, things like the barstools, light fixtures, cabinet hardware, or oven knobs can add colors and textures other than white to add depth and interest. These items can be easily and inexpensively changed with the style and seasons to provide a variable space.

When choosing a color scheme for your kitchen, always think about how colors affect different spaces. If you’re dealing with a smaller space, light, neutral options will be best. If you aren’t sure about going bold, you can always introduce color in small ways at first like in furniture or countertop décor. If you aren’t familiar with the science and psychology of color, the experts at your local Kitchen Solvers are happy to help you navigate all your choices and design the kitchen of your dreams with you. Give us a call today for a free in-home consultation to start dreaming.
