Kitchen Design-Cabinet Refinishing-Nashville TN

Blue and White Two Toned Kitchen Cabinets

By Dana Tucker Leave a Comment

One of the big kitchen design trends we are seeing on Pinterest, Instagram and Houzz are kitchen cabinets with two different paint colors. The trend is a darker color on the bottom cabinets with a creamy white on the top cabinets.

We love this one from one of our favorite kitchen designers, Studio McGee.

They used a matte black for the bottom cabinets and a creamy white for the top cabinets.

Our current favorite version of this trend is navy blue on the bottom. Like this kitchen we just completed.

This was a perfectly beautiful kitchen before with classic white painted cabinets.

But the new homeowners, a young, hip, professional couple wanted to infuse some of their personality and style into the kitchen. They selected Benjamin Moore- 2135-30 Nocturnal Gray for the bottom cabinets and Benjamin Moore OC-117 Simply White for the top cabinets.

This works in this kitchen because the beautiful white Calcutta Grey Quartz countertops and the simple white subway tile create a white color block vertical transition into the white upper cabinets.

The brass hardware pairs perfectly with the navy blue.

When choosing just the right navy paint color you will need to look at a large painted sample board in your kitchen and consider your lighting, your countertops, backsplash and flooring. You want to make sure the navy doesn’t look purple or black. Here is kitchen we just finished with an island painted in Sherwin Williams 6244 Naval.

I’ll be sharing much more of this dramatic kitchen makeover soon. It is so, so, so good. 

And here are a couple more before and afters of the two-toned kitchen.

Want to see the other side of the kitchen I posted Want to see the other side of the kitchen I posted yesterday? We reworked the white cabinet into a concealed coffee bar. We wrapped it in stained walnut and added an aged mirror front. Definite style upgrade.

Sometimes some small changes can make a BIG IMPACT Sometimes some small changes can make a BIG IMPACT. In this kitchen we replaced the range and hood, installed new counters and backsplash and painted the cabinets. Don’t miss the fabulous teacup chandelier. The perfect update for my fancy teacup loving chef client.

For me, kitchen design always starts with sink pla For me, kitchen design always starts with sink placement. Whenever possible I always like to place the sink under a window. Also, whenever possible I love to open up the windows as wide and tall as I can. Nothing adds more to the design of a kitchen than natural light. Start there and the rest flows into place.

Shopping for a new refrigerator? The biggest upgra Shopping for a new refrigerator? The biggest upgrade you can make in that space is to NOT get ice and water in the door. A refrigerator is so much cleaner looking without it. And if possible, adding cabinetry panels to your refrigerator is a complete style upgrade. Just order your fridge “panel ready”. A good  carpenter can guide you through completing that look.
