If your kitchen looks a bit drab these days, you might want to consider adding some color by updating your cabinetry.

It doesn’t take a lot to change the visual appeal of your cabinets, nor do you have to go crazy with color to get that added interest.

Even using different wood tones or different tones of one paint color can greatly spruce up the look of your kitchen.

Some of the Best Ideas for Adding Color to Your Kitchen Cabinetry:

Mixing Woods

Keep in mind that your kitchen cabinets don’t all have to look the same or have the same stain. Using a lighter wood stain or even natural wood on upper cabinets and a darker stained wood on the lower cabinets will add contrast and often makes the room appear larger because it’s less monochromatic. Or consider simply staining your drawers a different tone to make them stand out.

Black & White

Instead of having all white or all black cabinets, mix them up. For a kitchen with white upper and lower cabinets, try using black cabinets on the island to make the area look less stark. For a kitchen with black upper and lower cabinets, use white cabinets for the island and even for the wall pantry, if you have one, to brighten up the room.

Custom Paint Colors

For a modern look, choose a custom color for your cabinets. Blue or a soft green, or even a pastel yellow will make your kitchen cabinets stand out from everyone else’s in the neighborhood. You can do all of your cabinets in one color, but for maximum effect, choose two complementary colors. Use one of the colors for most of the cabinets and the other on a couple of side cabinets or just for cabinets with drawers.

Mixing It All Up

Try all of the above! For something really bold in the kitchen, consider all black for your upper and lower cabinets, then a natural wood for your pantry area or any open shelving you might have, and a green or a red tone for your center island cabinets. Your choices are only limited by your imagination.
