Three Easy Ways To Elevate Your Kitchen Cabinet Design

A new color for your kitchen cabinets is a great way to refresh your home, but there are additional ways to add interest and bring the various elements of your kitchen together. Here are three easy things you can do to take your kitchen cabinets to the next level.

1. Create Contrast with an Accent Cabinet

Not every cabinet needs to be the same color. Create some dramatic contrast with a bold accent color on a kitchen island. One of our clients did this with a bold red and then tied everything together with other red accent pieces.

2. Add Depth with Architectural Details

Thoughtful details add depth and texture to your kitchen. Add wainscoting or paneling to a kitchen bar, try decorative counter brackets, or add glass doors in a few cabinets.

3. Add Interest With New Hardware

Knobs and pull bars aren’t just important for functional reasons. Cabinet hardware is the finishing touch that can instantly elevate a “plain white” cabinet into something modern and trendy.
