Two Tone Kitchen Cabinets Ideas and Inspiration for Your Renovation
Modern, minimal, traditional—and everything in between
We identified the patterns we expect to see in kitchen renovation and design in 2019. On the list? None other than two-tone kitchen cabinets. They bring visual interest to the kitchen, plus allow for more color exploration without feeling overpowering. We’ve seen the look in so many Sweeten renovations (including these seven spaces) that we decided to shine a spotlight on it. See how these homeowners put their personal spin on the trend.
The best way to describe this kitchen: contemporary meets classic. The bi-tonal paint (white upper cabinets and gray lower) adds to the modern, yet, traditional feel already established by the mix of open shelves and closed cabinets.
Megan and Zak’s kitchen renovation was part of a much larger project: combining two apartments with very different styles. The totally reimagined kitchen represents their vision of a modern and clean space thanks to the navy and white cabinets and floating shelves.
Be teal our hearts! Carol and Jon took the two-tone idea up a notch with a fun teal hue. The warm and bright color is a showstopper and also accentuates other features in the kitchen, like the gold pendant lights and wood floors.
Maggie and Ross’ renovation was all about reaching a compromise on their different design aesthetics. These light green cabinets (with white uppers) are just one example of how the couple merged their tastes.
Blue and white cabinets are one of the most common color combinations we see (not at all surprising considering its versatility). Nikki and Chris opted for a bright jewel-tone blue in their sweet cook space that stands out but is not overpowering.
Wood cabinets are experiencing a comeback. Pair them with a solid paint finish on the top cabinets, like Sunghee and Joseph, and you have a trend goldmine.
Here’s proof you can stick to neutrals and still pull off two-tone. Nilda and Brian went with a dark gray base of cabinets to elevate their cook space. It also ties in with their all stainless steel appliances and cabinet hardware.
