multi coloured cabinets
If you are considering painting your kitchen cabinets, think outside of the box. The lower and upper cabinets do not need to match. In fact, sometimes painting the lower cabinets in a darker tone and the upper cabinets in a white/off white can visually add height to your room. This may even be a solution if your cabinets are already painted white and you are looking for a change.
Upper cabinets: CC-40 Cloud White Lower cabinets: CC-780 Kensington Blue
Upper cabinets: CC-50 White Down Lower cabinets: 2121-10 Gray
Upper cabinets: OC-9 Ballet White Lower cabinets: CC-756 Avalon
Upper cabinets: OC-65 Chantilly Lace Lower cabinets: 2134-40 Whale Gray
Another way to change things up is to have an island painted in a darker tone such as expresso or a bold colour like yellow (shown below).
For a dark expresso brown like the island above, we suggest 2114-10 Bittersweet Chocolate by Benjamin Moore.
This fun yellow painted island above is un-expected and easy to repaint over time. We suggest 2024-40 Yellow Finch by Benjamin Moore.
Cool, cosmopolitan kitchen…

A spring kitchen
Such a super-cute eco conscious cottage kitchen.
It’s a unique space that mixes style, colour and function. White cabinets and subway tile, give this kitchen a modern edge next to this amazing turquoise coloured paint 710 Kensington Green by Benjamin Moore.
The rest of the elements in this space are colourful and patterned like the colorful Company C rug which brings in a whimsical touch!
