Warmth

We love our ceiling fan.

Q

Multiple tones of wood

Q

What a difference the hardware makes: those handles make it so much busier!

Q

The textures and finishes warm up a mostly neutral kitchen.

Q

The rare black cabinets on top only. (The glare off the shiny backsplash!)

Q

The rare black cabinets top and bottom.

Q

The satin finish on the cabinets definitely gives a warmer feel.

Q

Dark counter with pale wood floors.

Q

As wonderful as the light is, it can be overwhelming with too much white.

Q

Even lighter wood accents. I don’t recommend the glass-fronted cabinets.

Q

Variant with light wood accents.

Q

Counterexample: shiny tiles, complicated mouldings, stark contrast in painted cabinets.

Q

Another very dark stain with white, warmed up by the walnut wood pieces. More modern cabinetry.

Q

Very dark stain instead of painted black softens the contrast that will be so strong in bright daylight.

Q

So many examples of texture bringing warmth.
