MATT GREY

You could also opt to paint a couple of drawers in a glossier shade of grey to improve the sleekness of your cabinets.

The royal black color transforms your kitchen into a dark heaven of solitude. Add in some lacquer and it is one of the best kitchens you can have! You can opt to have your electricals and essentials done in black as well, to create a space where you will enjoy cooking in isolation.

CALM PAPER BLUE WITH DEEP SEA BLUE

Somewhat similar to a sky and ocean theme, light and dark shades of blue give your cabinets a lovely bright aura that can never be dull. Try combining two different hues of the same color for your kitchen cabinets and you are sure to create something wonderful.

WHITEWASHED

An evergreen choice with both the urban and the country population, white cabinets along with white walls and floor rule the charts when it comes to painting your kitchen. The color of peace adds a sense of tranquillity to your space, for you to cook in a calm environment. Opting for sleek tiled floors and white ceilings can make your room look magical. White and pearl-white shades together will also be a different combination to try out on your cabinetry. Instead of plain white, you can also think of giving a wooden touch to the tiles and floors for a slightly different effect.

PASTEL PINK WITH MATCHING COUNTERTOPS

Try this unique blend of light pink with pink Italian marble countertops to have a bright, cheerful space. The lighter the shade you choose, the brighter your cabinets look and this increases the brightness quotient of your kitchen.

MAROON AND PASTEL GREEN

A very festive blend of colors, this can turn out to be gaudy, if not designed and painted tastefully. Though you can opt to paint your cabinets with a combination of these two shades, you can leave certain woodwork as it is, to enhance the warmth of the place. Additionally, you can also think of doing up your floor in wooden tiles or plain wood for some extra charm.

BLACK AND RED

A stark contrast to each other, these two colors will go very well with each other. You can choose to paint half the cabinetry black, and the remaining half, red. You can also use them each on the top and bottom cabinets for a half-half effect. Painting the cabinets in an alternative manner using these combinations might not be a good idea since your kitchen will look striped and lesser attractive with these dark hues.

WHITE AND ORANGE

Any color can be chosen to be coupled with white to add a dual blend to your cabinet. Orange, being a bright shade, will enhance the beauty of both colors. It is vital that you select the right shade of orange, or else the combination might compromise the brightness, and the kitchen can end up looking duller than expected.

LIGHT AND BRIGHT YELLOW

Vibrant and bright colors are an excellent way to induce highlights in your cabinetry. For example, when using two colors of the same shade, being of the same parent color, such combinations will not make your kitchen look bad or gaudy, however, you pattern the paint on the cabinets.

This is just the tip of the iceberg! There are many varied combinations that one can try to jazz up your kitchen cabinets and liven up your space. Easy to take up and light in your pocket, this is one project everyone should try taking up and enjoying.
