Stylish Combo Ideas For Two Tone Kitchen Cabinets

Designing all the furniture in the kitchen in a single color can be a bit boring even if the cabinets contrast with the backsplash or the countertop. Of course, putting too much color or too many colors in the room also has its downsides. The perfect spot is somewhere in the middle: two-tone kitchen cabinets. Such a combo lets you play with different colors but doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be bold about it.

One of the colors in the design of your two-tone kitchen cabinets can be natural wood. You can use it in combination with simple neutrals such as black, white or gray but you can also combine it with other shades such as green, blue, purple and whatever tone you prefer.

Another elegant look can result from the combination of two different wood tones. Light wood can be mixed with dark-stained wood for an interesting visual contrast. At the same time, you can complement the kitchen cabinets with a sleek island or an accent wall which has its own color palette.

If the idea is to cheer up the kitchen, try to think outside the box and to use colors other than grays, beige or plain white. Perhaps some yellow could look nice in combination with a neutral. It doesn’t have to be lemon-yellow. A darker shade could be cheerful too.
