Are you ready to transform your kitchen into a stylish and visually captivating space? Two-toned cabinets are a great way to accomplish both at once. This popular trend allows you to add a splash of color without overwhelming the room. At N-Hance of Columbia, we can help you find the perfect two-tone cabinet colors for your kitchen.

Tips for Choosing the Best Two-Tone Cabinet Colors

Considering color options during cabinet refinishing or cabinet painting in Lexington can feel overwhelming. Luckily, we have compiled a list of our favorite color combinations. Our combinations include:

  • Dark green with hardwood cabinets
  • Olive green and cream cabinets
  • Plum and cream cabinets
  • Orange and white cabinets
  • Beige and black cabinets

To help you brainstorm ideas for your home, here are 5 tips from N-Hance of Columbia that you can utilize the two-tone approach for cabinet painting in your kitchen. 

1. Mix Bold and Neutral Colors

Consider painting your kitchen island vibrant and keeping the rest of the cabinets neutral. If you don’t have an island, opt for bold, dark base cabinets paired with light, bright upper cabinets.

2. Consider Balance

Choose two colors with different hues or shades of the same color for a balanced and calm space. Ensure the darker shade is on the base cabinets to anchor the space. If you are hoping to make some bigger changes to your kitchen, consider adding custom cabinets.

3. Use Wood as One Tone

Stain some cabinets to enhance the natural wood beauty and paint the others in a coordinating color. Wood tone serves as a neutral backdrop, allowing you to experiment with bolder colors.

4. When In Doubt, Choose White

White or variations of white work well as a neutral pair with bold colors, creating a harmonious look. Check out our photo gallery to see what colors our clients have recently chosen for their kitchen cabinets.

5. Follow the 60-30-10 Rule

Paint 60% of your cabinets in one dominant color, 30% in a neutral, and reserve 10% for an accent color. You can swap the percentages for the dominant and neutral colors if desired. 

Trendy Color Combinations For Your Home
