Thoughts on Kitchen Cabinet Colors / 2 tone

5 years ago

Hello!


We're purchasing a home and would like to paint the cabinets. We're also painting the walls, but are thinking about doing 2-tone cabinets with something light such as white on the top, and a gray or blue on the bottom. The countertops are a greyish with some hints of brown. We'll be painting the walls throughout the house, and in general are going for less yellows/browns and more cool greys.


Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Hahaaaa I agree with Beth! The backsplash and counter should be redone before the cabinets. Also updating the hardware would refresh it a lot. The tv should come Down. If you want it in the kitchen I would put it in a cabinet or something. I’ll show you what I mean ....

    Yes these pics are from current owners, TV will come down and we are down to redo the backsplash.

    Loveee the herringbone think it would do wonders for the space
    Also are you open to evening out that bar space. I think lowering it to counter level will do a lot

    Really nice big open space. Lots of potential and doesn’t need so much workerman work. Like no breaking walls.... floors are also on fleeeeeek. Lol. I’d also maybe redo counters

    you know what you could do, is paint that island (can only see the back of it in the one pic) or, paint those cabs way off in the corner.

    Then depending on the style and color of your furniture, repaint the walls to match.

    that's a huge open space. Could a regular island be done there? (meaning, straighten it out and have it one level? )

    Positives

    bank of windows on sink wall

    size of kitchen


    Negatives

    wood blinds on windows

    TV's everywhere. Was the counter TV not enough? There is a first for everything and this is the first time I have ever seen a large screen TV. mounted to the hood

    backsplash

    bar/island shape

    pendents

    counters

    ceiling angles

    wall color


    I think a kitchen designer is needed. The space needs more than fresh paint.

    Unless you absolutely have loved gray as a color and have forever don't do it. Its on a sail boat floating towards the horizon but soon that boat is going to have some outboard motors installed on the back.


    Instead of gray think about black or a dark bronze like Urbane Bronze. It will work well with the existing wood color and the flooring.


    I would pull that entire island shape and do a large rectangular island in black. Change out counters. Change out backsplash. Change out hardware. Do a nice white on the walls. Pull down the white wood blings and either do woven shades, no shades or a lovely fabric roman shade. New pendents. I would also pull down that entire hood and do a beautiful shaped hood that doesn't connect to the cabinets on either side.

    Beautiful wood cabinets! Please don’t paint them.

    I echo the thoughts above and will add that the flooring would not do well with gray painted lowers, IMO. Lovely house!
