In the ever-evolving world of luxury home design, kitchen and bathroom cabinets are having a colorful renaissance. After years of white cabinetry dominating the scene, we’re witnessing a bold shift toward more expressive and personalized spaces through thoughtfully selected cabinet colors.
The Two-Tone Revolution
The most significant trend we’re implementing is the strategic use of two-tone cabinetry—typically darker base cabinets paired with lighter upper cabinets or contrasting islands. In recent projects, we’ve paired navy blue cabinets with a rich green option, creating a Mediterranean elegance that perfectly complements imported, hand-painted tiles.
Nature-Inspired Neutrals
While bold colors make headlines, we’re also seeing a refined shift toward warm, nature-inspired neutrals. Soft sage greens, muted blues, and earthy terracottas create a sense of tranquility while maintaining sophistication and pairing beautifully with natural elements like wood or stone.
Tips for Mixing Cabinet Colors Successfully
- Maintain balance: Ensure contrasting colors are balanced throughout the space.
- Consider the whole home: Cabinet colors should complement your overall design scheme.
- Unify with hardware: Consistent hardware creates cohesion across varied cabinet finishes.
- Quality matters: Colored cabinets, especially those with darker hues, show imperfections more readily than white.
At Collins Builders, we’ve embraced this colorful evolution while maintaining our commitment to timeless design. The best spaces aren’t just on-trend—they’re personal reflections of the families who live in them.
