accent finishes in kitchen edgewood cabinetry

When you design your kitchen, you’re thinking about both appearance and function.

You want a kitchen that allows for the maximum use of space, with plenty of storage; but you also want a warm, welcoming room that you’ll love coming back to again and again. Accent finishes in the kitchen can help you create a look that you’ll love, displaying your personal style and taste in a classic way that will last you for years.

Recently, a weathered finish has become very popular, with many kitchen designs already centering around this style. Most often, a weathered finish is used on a few pieces as an accent, rather than on all of the cabinets in the kitchen as a whole. It creates a wonderful contrast to the crisp, freshly painted style of the cabinetry, leaving the impression that the piece with the weathered finish is reclaimed wood or a recycled piece.

A weathered finish also looks great in a country-style kitchen, where it adds to the overall ambiance and helps create a warm, welcoming style that will keep bringing people back to your kitchen again and again. Whether you’re looking for a weathered finish on your bar, your counters, or your accent pieces, you can create the appearance of weathered wood or driftwood–whatever best fits your style. The weathered wood finish brings on a sense of the past, reminiscent of your grandmother’s kitchen throughout your childhood or a log cabin from days long since gone by. It might be the latest trend, but it’s not one that will disappear quickly. The nostalgic touch will be appropriate in your kitchen for a long time to come.
