Trend Watch: Add a Pop of Color to Your Kitchen or Bath with Green or Blue Cabinets
At Swartz Kitchens & Baths, when it comes to cabinetry, we love the classics: whites, wood tones, and neutrals. But, we also love those bold and adventurous homeowners who decide to inject a little color into their spaces with red, orange, green, or blue cabinets. (Or, any other color, for that matter!)
When remodeling a kitchen or bath, there’s no better way to create impact than by adding a boost of color — it can take a space from cookie-cutter ho-hum to high-style huzzah! The magical properties of color can transform a dark room into an inviting and cheery space, make a room feel more expansive, or add instant drama.
Since cabinetry accounts for about 60 percent of your kitchen’s surfaces, installing colorful cabinets is a great way to make a design statement. Don’t want to commit to that much color? Then, consider pairing your neutral cabinets with a colorful kitchen island. Or, go the opposite route, and blend colorful cabinetry with a neutral island. For inspiration, look at what the Merillat Masterpiece® Collection did with this kitchen featuring Sawyer Maple cabinets that were color-matched to Sherwin-Williams® Isle of Pines green.
Scroll Instagram or browse Pinterest, and you’ll see that all of the trending kitchens feature some variation of green cabinetry. From the palest shade of mint to saturated tones like Medallion Cabinetry’s Cypress Green, this cool color is currently a very hot trend.
When it comes to colorful cabinetry, green is only bested by blue cabinets right now. White still reigns supreme as the color of choice for most home owners. Houzz.com reports that 45% of homeowners who remodel their kitchens opt for white, but for the past few years, blue cabinets in all hues have emerged as very popular choice. From Merillat Cabinetry’s soft, pale Lakeside Blue to Shiloh Cabinetry’s more saturated Oceanside finish, blue cabinets add elegance and visual interest while pairing well with white, wood, metal or other neutrals.
And remember, colorful cabinets aren’t just for the kitchen! Blue cabinets, in particular, are extremely popular for bathrooms and powder rooms. They evoke a clean, contemporary and nautical feel. Furthermore, dark, saturated blues pair beautifully with chrome or champagne gold fixtures — another hot trend in interior design.
Although green and blue cabinets have the entire kitchen and bath industry abuzz these days, it’s possible to order cabinetry in any color. Want a powerful punch of red? Medallion Cabinetry has you covered with finishes like Sumac, Cayenne, and Spanish Paprika. Seeking a warm, sunny yellow or a splash or bright orange? Legacy Cabinets offers ColorSplash, a program which allows you to put any color from the entire Sherwin–Williams® paint spectrum on your cabinetry. Likewise, Merillat Cabinetry’s Merillat Masterpiece® Collection offers ColorMatch™, matching a vast selection of colors from Benjamin Moore®, Sherwin-Williams®, Behr® and Valspar® .
Are you ready to update your white, wood or natural cabinetry with a pop of green or blue? Add a blue or green kitchen island? Anchor your white or natural wood upper cabinets with green or blue lower cabinets. Create an accent wall of pantry cabinets in a blue or green hue? Or, go bold and use colorful cabinets throughout the space as a complement to white walls and tiles. No matter how you want to incorporate color into your space, Swartz Kitchens & Baths is here to help. Contact us to schedule an appointment with one of our designers.
