Mix Cabinet Colors To Create a Custom Design Kitchen
Mixing cabinet colors is one of the best ways to add personality and style. At JM Kitchen and Bath Designs, with locations in Denver, Arvada, Castle Rock, and Colorado Springs, we’ve seen this trend grow rapidly among Colorado homeowners looking for a more custom kitchen.
Why Mix Cabinet Colors?
Combining and mixing cabinet finishes and tones allows you to break up the visual monotony of a single color while highlighting specific areas of your kitchen. A contrasting island, for example, can become a striking centerpiece. Contrasting upper and lower cabinets in different hues can bring balance and depth.
In Colorado’s mix of modern city lofts, mountain retreats, and suburban family homes, a dual-tone cabinet scheme adds a layer of warmth and character that fits perfectly with our local design styles.
Popular Cabinet Color Combinations
Here are some of the combinations our designers often recommend to clients throughout the Denver area and the Front Range:
- White and Natural Wood: A classic pairing that brings warmth and brightness together. Perfect for Colorado’s sunlit homes, this combo creates a fresh yet inviting atmosphere.
- Navy and White: Deep navy lower cabinets grounded with crisp white uppers offer a timeless, modern vibe. This works well in both Denver townhomes and Colorado Springs family kitchens.
- Sage Green and Cream: Inspired by Colorado’s natural landscape, this pairing feels organic and calming. It is ideal for homes in Castle Rock or Arvada where earthy tones complement rustic or transitional design styles.
- Black and Stained Oak: A bold mix that exudes sophistication and depth, perfect for modern kitchens or mountain-inspired designs.
Design Tips for Mixing Cabinet Colors
- Keep balance in mind: Use darker tones and colors on lower cabinets or your island for grounding. Use lighter tones above to maintain an open, airy feel.
- Tie colors together: Incorporate hardware, countertops, or backsplash materials that blend both tones for a cohesive look.
- Use your island as a focal point: Many Colorado homeowners add visual interest by highlighting their island with a different color or finish.
