kitchen and is a shade of true versatility color and paint expert annie sloane tells homes and gardens it can be a neutral dropping into the background or it can be the shining star of a color scheme it's warm earthy and mutable a useful color and real hidden gem as a shade that is equally at home in a mid-century modern theme as it is in a rustic farmhouse approach sloane explains olive is a bit of a dark horse in the sense that you can easily forget how much interest and sophistication it brings to a space olive green can easily pair with other colors the shade works terrifically with bolder tones like deep reds and blues but take center stage if you're matching it with lighter neutrals your imagination is your only limit look folks there's a reason why white kitchen cabinets have stood

and low-level cabinets and lighter neutrals above can help draw the eye upwards creating a feeling of height kitchen should be places of happiness laughter and good times what better way to usher in that feeling than by incorporating some strong yellows bold yellow cabinets are basically a shortcut to a sunny sensibility and you don't need to go for basic yellow to have this effect as l decor

cabinets architect john michelle suggests trying the spruce best home phantom black he told the spruce if you are going for the two-tone look it works beautifully on base cabinets when paired with upper cabinets in a contrasting neutral color i also think it is a great hue for kitchen islands because it can hide those pesky scuff marks look at this house look at this kitchen look at this mess i just waxed the floor do you like the idea of a clean crisp kitchen but are worried about giving it too much brightness we can understand that while ideal for creating a sense of order and cleanliness using whites in a kitchen can lead to a hospital-like feel that's why the clever use of off-whites could be a perfect choice off-whites can help elevate a room's brightness while mellowing out overly white tones plus they pair well with pretty much everything pick a white color that shifts shades to get the best of both worlds while discussing a remodel ben hawkswell senior designer at roundhouse told homes and gardens here on the cabinets we used hardwick white by pharaoh and ball which is a clean off-white that can look like a traditional grey in some lights but it has chalky undertones that in a sun-filled room like this appear much brighter and more contemporary the most important thing he says is to test a color in your kitchen before you commit wholeheartedly to painting all of the cabinets while this is vital for any paint job it becomes even more important with off-whites as they can change in appearance based on lighting conditions okay we've got to be honest we can get a little bored of seeing the same colors in kitchens over and over again so who could blame us for wanting to mix things up a little and if you feel the same going for pink cabinets in your kitchen could be the perfect way to bring out the sense of life and vitality that your house deserves yellow pink [Music] now at this point it's important to mention that we're not advocating solely for a hot pink kitchen but muted light and dusty pinks are all tones that can give your kitchen a feeling of elegance and class while accentuating the natural light in the space it needn't be the only color either although lighter pinks pair very well with light neutrals pink and green are natural bedfellows when it comes to kitchen decor this is especially true when they're used intelligently on different levels and if you want to truly live your l woods fantasy by decking out your kitchen and fuchsia bubble gum and magenta tones then frankly why shouldn't you it's your kitchen after all

make your kitchen feel instantly warm and comforting tones that evoke the sunset or autumnal treescapes work especially well in kitchens a pastel orange is surprisingly effective on kitchen cabinets

is a classy move for kitchen cabinets that evokes a retro vibe when used with confidence this shade works particularly well with brass pulls or fixtures and darker wood tones it can also be beautifully offset by lighter pattern tiles in neutral shades orange cabinets might not be for the faint-hearted but they're truly memorable let's talk about taupe this undervalued gray brown may not be as well known as some of its flashier color cousins but when it is used on cabinets it can add a serious touch of elegance to your kitchen evoking images of warm coffee and natural settings toe pairings are most effective when you take note of the undertones in your specific paint selection according to the spruce taupes generally contain undertones of reds pinks and yellows as well as stronger gray notes while you might assume this means that taupe should be paired with bolder colors it generally works well with lighter neutrals like off-white countertops or backsplashes given topes organic tones it also goes excellently with natural flooring and is super at home in antique or farmhouse style kitchens bear in mind too that taupe can be pretty light the smoky tope 983 from benjamin moore for example can almost look off-white in certain lights pairing very well with a slightly darker gray baby blue gets a bad rap folks while this shade traditionally evokes images of childhood and innocence using it in a kitchen can leave you with a unique space that's both fresh and deeply comforting [Music] oh yes i am your baby as claire burkbeck the designer for luck's kitchen brand neptune says to homes and gardens opting for baby blue leaves you with a quote restful space that won't shout for attention this color can operate in the same way that a neutral might but with
