Decorate Your Kitchen With Two-Tone Cabinets

Mixing and matching colors with two-tone kitchen cabinets is a great way to add interest and update your kitchen. This look started trending a few years ago and seems to be maintaining it's popularity. Lending to the well received idea is the fact that it is such an affordable way to give existing cabinets an instant facelift with just paint, brush, and creative juices.

My favorite configuration for the two-toned kitchen is light colored cabinets on top and dark on the bottom as the darker color on the bottom best anchors the room. However, this trend allows for your own personality and taste to shine through giving your kitchen a distinct style of its own. Another common configuration is cabinets one color and an island or other stand-out item a different color. Larger kitchens with islands are natural fits for two-tone kitchen.

Is two-toned kitchen cabinets just a trend or will it be a timeless look? My favorite kitchens have stand alone cabinets instead of traditional ones. To me it makes for a much more warm and interesting space.This trend of painting cabinet sections separately affords homeowners the chance to make their kitchens look more like these timeless images......

I believe the two-toned cabinet look for the kitchen will stay with us as long as we pay attention to overall design and make good color choices. So I say give this easy makeover a try if you are considering a kitchen update.

Some homeowners prefer the darker of the two-tone combination color on top and the lighter on the bottom. This can cause the space to look top heavy so be sure and bring balance via your accessories, etc.

Sometimes you can bring the two-toned look to just a portion of your cabinets. This looks good especially in  a smaller kitchen.

A common two-tone configuration is kitchen cabinets one color and an island or other stand-out item a different color.

In a two-toned kitchen using a color different from the cabinets on the island can give the impression that the island was added at a later time, much like mis-matched furniture being added to the room piece by piece.
