Picking the Perfect Cabinet and Counter Colors

Moving can be an overwhelming experience, but it will all be worth it when you settle into your custom home in Marana. A custom home means that you can personalize aspects of different rooms, such as the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is where many people spend a great deal of their time, cooking for family and entertaining guests. That’s why it’s important to have the right cabinet and counter colors to make your space inviting. Read on to learn about choosing the perfect cabinet and counter colors.

Consider Lighting

As you think about what colors you want to feature in your kitchen, keep the lighting of the room in mind. The focal point of the room will be wherever the lighting is pointed, which could be a center island, countertops, or the range. Ideally, you’ll have plenty of adjustable light to allow you to chop and cook, while still maintaining a warm, cozy glow. If you have overhead lighting, dark colors for your cabinets and countertops may work best. If you have hanging lights and under-cabinet lighting, lighter colors will help to reflect light to give your kitchen a more open feel.

Mixing and Matching

You don’t have to choose the same colors for your cabinets and countertops, depending on the overall look you’re going for in your home. Contrasting colors can work well, especially if you want to attract the eye to a certain point. Matching colors of cabinets and counters will tend to blend in to their surroundings more, which can be a good thing if you want to highlight a unique backsplash or a chef’s range.

Looking Down

Don’t forget to consider the color, texture, and finish of your flooring when you’re choosing cabinet and counter colors. By matching the counter color to the floor, you’ll make the cabinets stand out more. If you choose to match the cabinets and the floors, it’s the countertop that will get the attention.
