Transforming Your Kitchen With Two Tone Custom Cabinets

Two tone cabinets are right on trend, and offer a customized look with very little effort or extra cost. You often see this aesthetic featured on television and in major home magazines, like Better Homes & Gardens or HGTV, and it seems like this timeless trend is here to stay. Read on for tips on transforming your kitchen with two tone custom cabinets, from sublimely subtle to high-contrast chic.

Sublimely Subtle

A neutral, tone on tone color scheme creates spaces that are soothing and sublimely subtle. To capture the look in your kitchen, opt for shades of white, including vanilla, cream and almond, or soft grey hues in a complementary style and finish. Examples include pairing Midtown White Shaker cabinets with Midtown Cream Shaker, or Salem White with Salem Light Grey. Both sets feature the same clean lines and painted kitchen cabinet finishes, but adding an accent color of cream or light grey offers a soft hint of warmth for subtle contrast against crisp white.

Mix And Match Finishes

The two tone trend in custom cabinets can go beyond color and texture, allowing adventurous homeowners to show off a unique bit of artistic flair and creativity. Ideas include installing all wood cabinetry base cabinets with a glazed finish that lets the grain show through, paired with painted, contemporary cabinets above, or opting for different kitchen cabinet finishes for cabinetry and doors. Mixing and matching can create a dynamic look that elevates your kitchen design in incredible ways.

High-Contrast Chic

Black and white kitchens can run the gamut from vintage charm to ultra modern, with a high-contrast look that is easy to love. Forever in style, like these Instagram-famous black and white kitchens, black and white is a classic combo that opens up a world of possibilities in interior design. Think farmhouse kitchen with white shaker cabinets and a black kitchen island, or sleek, dark contemporary cabinets paired with a section of glossy white. Another high-contrast option that is popular in modern kitchen design is pairing dark gray or dark blue with light grey custom cabinets.

5 Hot Home Trends To Watch This Summer

Some home trends are undeniably hot this summer, from nautical, dark blue hues to environmentally-friendly luxury vinyl flooring. If you are looking to update your home’s interior with a bit of sensational summer style, and a look that is right on point for 2020, here are the five hottest home trends to watch this summer.

Blue is summer’s hottest hue.

Naval and Classic Blue are this summer’s hottest hues. These dependable, timeless shades of dark blue create a comfortable and calm living environment. Neutral and versatile, blue can be used throughout the home, on walls, linens, upholstery, area rugs, and even kitchen appliances.

It takes two to tango.

Two-tone, custom cabinets are highly desirable with homeowners and buyers. A simple way to achieve the look is to design a kitchen with white Shaker cabinetry and a grey Shaker kitchen island. Grey and white kitchen cabinetry finishes are timeless. When paired together, this two tone summer combo is both classic and contemporary.

Get back to nature.

Nature motifs are all the rage this summer. Whether it’s a bold botanical wallpaper or a tropical print on designer fabrics, bringing a touch of the outdoors in helps to celebrate the summer season in a splendid way. Other earthy trends include jute and sisal area rugs, rattan furniture, natural stone countertops, and mixed metals.

Ride the luxury vinyl flooring wave.

Rigid core vinyl plank flooring is fast becoming the go-to choice for homes. With the advancements of 3D printing technology, this durable material realistically mimics the look of hardwood, yet is completely waterproof. It also comes at a more affordable price point, is easy to install, and is FloorScore ^® certified when you shop at Willow Lane Cabinetry.

Everything old is new again.

This summer, everyone is feeling nostalgic for the good old days. Vintage accents like freestanding bathtubs, glass front cabinet doors, detailed corbels and kitchen hoods, schoolhouse clocks, and statement furniture pieces with an antique patina help to add a bit of warmth and personalization to your decor.

A Guide To Nature-Inspired Hues For The Home

If you are longing to bring a touch of the outdoors in, consider painting your walls in an on-point color inspired by Mother Nature. Here are a few contemporary, organic hues that will compliment your all wood cabinetry and natural stone countertops beautifully.

Natural Beauty

When you gaze out the window, what do you see? From the azure blue sky above to the rocks and grass below, there is a world of color right outside your door. Sunny yellows, mossy green, and watery shades of aqua and dark blue are all trending on Pinterest boards and the covers of your favorite home magazines.

There is a reason Behr chose Back to Nature as its 2020 Color of the Year. Such nature-inspired hues work well in traditional and contemporary kitchens alike, and are timeless choices for fabric and walls. Why? Because they pair perfectly with other natural elements, like all wood cabinetry, quartzite and granite countertops, and marble flooring and backsplash tile.

Earthy Neutrals

For homeowners who prefer a neutral color palette, earthy shades of beige and gray are the natural choice. Whether you opt for a deep gray like Stormy Monday by Benjamin Moore or the soft and subtle Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams, with warm brown undertones, gray is a timeless neutral for contemporary kitchens and other interior spaces throughout the home. In fact, some of our most popular cabinet styles come in a gorgeous gray finish!

Brown hues are also a classic yet contemporary choice for the home. From creamy white and sandy beige to the rich and leathery Tanner’s Brown by Farrow and Ball, brown is one of our favorite neutrals. You’ll also see brown pop up in on point accessories, like oil rubbed bronze hardware, copper kitchen sinks, rustic wood furniture, and wood-look tile flooring. And don’t forget all wood cabinetry!

Jewel Tones

If your tastes lean more towards the bold and bright, you’ll find an abundance of vibrant color in nature — especially when you turn your attention to jewel tones. These gems work well for accent walls, fabric and accessories, and offer a gorgeous pop of vivid color that can liven up any space. Or, feel free to surround yourself in sumptuous color, like emerald, turquoise, amethyst, or jade! From Ruby Red glass backsplash tile to moody, dark blue decorative accents, jewels tones are an unexpected and lovely way to invite Mother Nature inside.
