If you’re looking to infuse a modern touch into your kitchen, an effective and simple way is to modify the color of your kitchen cabinets. With numerous alternatives available, choosing the best color can be challenging. Here are 8 tips from N-Hance of South Nassau to help you attain a modern aesthetic when painting your kitchen cabinets:

  1. Consider open shelves. Replacing some cabinets with open shelves or making them a focal point in your kitchen can create a more modern, airy ambiance. Maintain a minimalist and refined decor to avoid a cluttered appearance.
  2. Embrace monotone. Painting the cabinet surfaces and hardware such as knobs and hinges in the same shade can lend a sleek, monochromatic look to your kitchen. It also makes a bold statement as doors merge yet stand out simultaneously.
  3. Opt for gold hardware. If you’re not keen on painting your hardware but still desire a modern look, consider a gold finish. Pair bright white cabinets with warm gold knobs and pulls for a clean, contemporary look. Extend this theme throughout your kitchen with gold pendant lights, a gold faucet, and other metallic decor.
  4. Experiment with a two-toned approach. A popular trend is painting your kitchen cabinets in two distinct colors. For instance, paint the upper cabinets a light tone and the base cabinets a darker shade. Alternatively, paint your kitchen island a unique, bold color while keeping the rest of your cabinets a neutral choice, like white.
  5. Incorporate natural elements. If you have high-quality hardwood cabinets, consider staining your island and painting the rest of your cabinets. This combines the biophilic design trend, which introduces outdoor elements into the home, with a modern, sleek look.
  6. Don’t be afraid to use colors. A modern kitchen isn’t restricted to white cabinets. Don’t hesitate to use bold colors like deep slate, soft gray or greige, or even light blue for a coastal comfort vibe. These colors are clean and calming yet still make a statement.
  7. Stick to classic white. White cabinets are always a safe choice for a modern look, as they are bright and contemporary. They also provide the flexibility to style the rest of your kitchen with a variety of accents. If you decide to change your style later, white cabinets can easily transition into a rustic or traditional look.
  8. Adopt minimalism. Minimalist design focuses on simplicity and functionality, a trend that’s here to stay. Choosing a minimalist look for your kitchen cabinets can help create a clean, uncluttered space.
