Of course, navy doesn’t necessarily have to be the focal point in your kitchen. In this kitchen from Watson & Co, I’d argue that it acts as a base color that allows the beautiful backsplash tile and light fixture to stand out. If the cabinets were white, these details wouldn’t be as noticeable due to the lack of color contrast between the elements
If you’re a fan of navy and want to bring the color into your kitchen, consider just how navy-filled you want to go. It’s a dark color, so you might want to pair it with plenty of white, as was done in the first photo, a kitchen from Knocknock, as well as in the kitchen shown here from Eagleview Construction and Buttercup Design. White provides a crisp contrast to the navy and also keeps the kitchen from feeling too cavelike.

Why it works. Beautiful black walnut sets the tone of the kitchen’s dramatic design choices. The rich organic nature of the cabinetry creates a stunning tension with the linear geometry of the marble backsplash. These elements paired with the striking blue island create an eye-catching and memorable space. Durability. Walnut isn’t as hard as oak, registering 1,010 on the Janka scale. Its natural color variation has the advantage of hiding light scratches and dents
Walnut is a straight-grained hardwood that varies in color from chocolate brown to yellow, depending on which part of the tree it’s from. It’s typically clear-coated or oiled to bring out its variegated colors. How it’s used. In this kitchen built by Osborne Construction, black walnut is used on the upper and lower perimeter cabinets but not on the island base. Walnut stools add an element of repetition, which brings a sense of unity and cohesiveness to the design. Supporting elements. A blue kitchen island is as bold as the walnut cabinetry, and the island’s cool hue contrasts beautifully with the wood’s warmth. Cool grays in the marble mosaic backsplash continue the delicate balance of hot and cold, while modern brass cabinet hardware echoes the walnut’s warmth. The pendants are modern classics that complement this transitional kitchen’s fresh take on time-honored materials.
The old kitchen’s lack of storage had plagued the homeowners. To keep the main kitchen area uncluttered by too many upper cabinets, Castro carved space out of a small office off the kitchen. She lined the left wall with cabinetry outfitted for everything — there are knife blocks, spice racks, tray inserts and more behind these doors. This is also where food is stored. The opposite side of the room still serves as command central.
