What colours go with dark wood kitchen cabinets?

Warm colors such as yellow, orange and red tend to evoke feelings of energy and liveliness, while cool tones such as blue and green have a more calming effect. With dark cabinets already installed, selecting one of these cooler tones may be the ideal way to compensate for them and balance the kitchen space. Dark gray or navy blue cabinets will have a cold tint. Brown or dark green cabinets will have a warmer tint.

If you want to add a dark and natural look to your kitchen, dark wood kitchen cabinets are a safe and timeless option that allows you to make your kitchen style unique and modern. Dark cabinets will make your kitchen ambiance a little more changeable than when you opt for light oak cabinets, for example, but this is exactly what will make your kitchen style more unique, full of character, and personal. The kitchen consists of lower cabinets combined with a countertop and a protector against black granite splashes and striking black wall lamps that top the wall above the countertop. White countertops enhance the color palette and floating shelves complete the kitchen design, dominated mostly by lower cabinets.

If you like the impressive and sometimes slightly dramatic effect of dark wood cabinets in a space, but are afraid of ending up with a kitchen look that's too dark, you can always take the middle route and go for two-tone kitchen cabinets. The fine white quartz countertops add a minimalist look to the large kitchen island that includes the sink and a breakfast bar. The warmth of the wooden cabinets' design is enhanced by the beige limestone countertops, and the black stools and chrome faucet really stand out in this warm and inviting kitchen environment. The stainless steel appliances and kitchen island add modern style to the natural wood cabinets, and the grain and wood details of the countertops create a beautiful textured effect.

in the room. Dark kitchen cabinets are a great way to bring drama and moodiness to your kitchen, and choosing the right light color to complement them will be the icing on the cake of a beautiful kitchen design. The cabinets and kitchen island have a monochrome appearance and are adorned with the same gray tone and are accented with golden touches, not only on the handles of the cabinets and drawers, but also on the black and gold lids of the faucets and the legs of the kitchen island. The other side of the kitchen includes tall cabinets for more storage space and the kitchen island is made entirely of terrazzo, a lighter material, which also enhances the look.

As seen in this kitchen designed by Kate Marker Interiors, the modern aesthetic of a farmhouse can make a kitchen feels at home. The kitchen design is completed with two floating shelves and black wall lamps above the counter and two elegant hanging lamps above the kitchen island. The clean lines of the minimalist kitchen with walnut cabinets present a design that has been distributed over three walls, connected by a kitchen island with a breakfast bar in the middle. The elegant veining of the walnut doors is combined with the white quartz countertops that also extend over the splash guard behind the kitchen sink.

Like this kitchen from Rebecca Rollins Interiors, create a two-tone kitchen with a deep green color for the lower cabinets and clean white cabinets in the part superior.
