SHADES OF BLUE

From walls and floors to cabinets and backsplashes, shades of blue are a hot color trend for your kitchen. Whether you choose dark blues, blue-grays, medium blues, or bold blues, you can’t go wrong with choosing this popular color. Although black and white have been known as the classic combination, the versatility of blue and white is quickly becoming the “go-to” color scheme.

Rustic

If you prefer a more rustic look for your kitchen, try mixing cool and warm color tones such as blue-gray cabinets. Distressing your cabinets adds an additional vintage charm to your kitchen.

Aquatic

If you have a beach house and are considering a kitchen color-change, using seafoam greens and pale shades of deep-sea blues gives your kitchen just the touch it needs. Complement it with a blue accent wall or a fish scale backsplash with shades of blue.

Subdued

Subdued shades of blue can be used as a neutral kitchen color rather than as a bold statement. Cabinets that are painted blue-gray will also give your kitchen a warm touch.

Moody

Deep rich shades of navy blue give your kitchen a luxurious feel. These dramatic colors create the perfect accent to your kitchen and go well with stainless steel .

Modern

Adding bold dark-blue cabinets, pendant , and white countertops to any kitchen gives it a fresh feel.   Accenting with natural woods helps to create a modern look with contrast.

SHADES OF GRAY

 

For years, wood and white cabinets have been used in neutral kitchens; however, recently, cabinets in various shades of gray have become the hot new trend, giving your kitchen a sleek modern design. Gray cabinets with corresponding black or white countertops give your kitchen a sophisticated look while allowing other accent colors to shine through.

Since gray is the new neutral color, its many shades can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. Because of its versatility, a gray kitchen is a style that pairs well with a second color, such as blue and/or white, or stands well on its own, particularly when resembling concrete or stone. Depending on the shade of gray you choose, you can create an atmosphere that correlates to your personality and taste.

 

Alluring

The beauty, charm and charisma of “old Hollywood glamour” has been finding its way into the kitchen. Shades of gray mixed with dark blue accents and metallic fixtures and hardware will give your kitchen a touch of glamour from the 1930s.

Urban Life
Out with the old black and white — in with the new gray and blue. Updating the classic look with high contrast shades of gray gives white cabinets a fresh new look.

 

CABINETS
