The goal for these clients was to build a new home with a transitional design that was large enough for their children and grandchildren to visit, but small enough to age in place comfortably with a budget they could afford on their retirement income. They wanted an open floor plan, with plenty of wall space for art and strong connections between indoor and outdoor spaces to maintain the original garden feeling of the lot. A unique combination of cultures is reflected in the home – the husband is from Haiti and the wife from Switzerland. The resulting traditional design aesthetic is an eclectic blend of Caribbean and Old World flair. Jim Barsch Photography

This home was a blend of modern and traditional, mixed finishes, classic subway tiles, and ceramic light fixtures. The kitchen was kept bright and airy with high-end appliances for the avid cook and homeschooling mother. As an animal loving family and owner of two furry creatures, we added a little whimsy with cat wallpaper in their laundry room.

If you want to bring an element of vibrant color and sophistication into your kitchen space, then you might consider investing in a set of high-quality navy blue kitchen cabinets manufactured by a reputed brand or company such as Cabinet DIY. Navy is a chic and smart shade of blue that can create an ambiance of calm and elegant modernity in your interiors.

Navy blue kitchen cabinets will be unique enough to help you stand out without too much extra effort, while also blending in perfectly with most types of kitchen décor. If your kitchen is otherwise monochrome or light-colored, then a set of navy blue kitchen cabinets will also imbue the space with some much-needed energy and radiance. You can also accessorize navy blue cabinets with chrome hinges and knobs, colorful accents, and other elements that will breathe more life into your interiors.

Another advantage of installing navy blue RTA cabinets in your kitchen is that they are extremely affordable, durable, and easy to maintain. Moreover, RTA cabinets are widely available in a variety of shades, finishes, and textures. As they are quite easy to install, navy blue RTA kitchen cabinets are becoming more and more popular among homeowners around the country.

Ideas for Designing a Kitchen with Navy Blue Cabinets

To make the most of your world-class navy blue kitchen cabinets, you should know about some of the most popular design trends that have enthralled interior decorators in recent years. Mentioned below are some unique ideas to make the most of navy blue kitchen cabinets by designing the kitchen space in a thoughtful and innovative manner.

1. Navy Blue Base Cabinets

If you want to try out a set of navy blue kitchen cabinets in your interiors but don’t want to commit fully yet, then you can consider buying a set of blue base cabinets. The base cabinets are often ignored because they’re below the eye level, so using a vibrant and remarkable color for these cabinets will allow them to draw attention and stand out. The upper cabinets can be white or gray, so that the color scheme doesn’t become too overwhelming.

2. Narrow Focus

If you don’t want to paint every cabinet in your kitchen navy blue, then another alternative is to choose a focal piece for the entire kitchen. One popular option is to install a large, spacious pantry cabinet with a painted, navy blue finish. All the other cabinets – including the upper and base cabinets – can be painted in muted whites and grays. This will help make your kitchen space feel minimalistic, chic, and stylish.

3. Proper Lighting

To emphasize the beauty of the elegant navy blue kitchen cabinets, you must ensure sufficient lighting in your kitchen area. The navy blue cabinets must receive adequate natural light, for which they need to be placed close to a window or balcony. Alternatively, you could also use artificial lights including strategically placed chandeliers or pendant lights to illuminate your unique navy blue kitchen cabinets and enhance the visual appeal of your home.

4. Contrasting Backsplashes

You can make the navy blue kitchen cabinets stand out by investing in a set of contrasting backsplashes or feature walls. Hence, light-colored, marble backsplashes might be ideal for such a kitchen, as they would not draw your eyes away from the cabinets or make the kitchen look too busy and colorful. Warm wooden shades and sophisticated grays are some other options that you could consider when designing a kitchen around navy blue cabinetry.

5. Metallic Appliances

Clean-lined gloss cabinets can create an aura of chic, sophisticated modernity when combined with metallic kitchen appliances such as chimneys, ovens, and coffee machines. Metallic appliances, if maintained properly, will make the kitchen look glossy and state-of-the-art. Paired with a set of cool blue cabinets, this design could work wonders for small, urban kitchens. Those who want to make the most of a small space would benefit most from choosing this décor.

In Conclusion

As you can see, there are many ways of creating a beautiful and elegant kitchen space with the help of navy blue RTA cabinets. All you have to do is use your imagination (and a bit of help from a design professional) to create the type of kitchen that suits your personal needs and preferences. High-quality and well-maintained navy blue kitchen cabinets can enhance the functionality and visual appeal of almost any home.

CONTEMPORARY HOME DESIGN NO. 3713-V1 Having received much attention at a Home Show in which it had been built on site and in response to the many requests for the addition of a garage to plan 3713, we are pleased to present model 3713-V1. The addition of a garage that is 14’ wide and almost 28’ deep is sure to meet the needs of the many who specifically requested this convenient feature. Outside, the addition of a garage clad in fibre cement panels with cedar siding matches the rest of the structure for a pleasing visual impact and definite curb appeal. Inside, other than the service entrance from the garage, this plan shares the same laudable features as its predecessor such as 9’ ceilings throughout the main level, a modern fireplace in the living room, a kitchen with an 8’ x 3’ island and computer corner, nicely sized bedrooms with ample closet space that includes a walk-in in the master bedroom and a full bathroom with separate 42” x 60” shower enclosure.
