Need Help Matching Your White Cabinets?

White is still the color that dominates kitchens worldwide. It never goes out of style. 

White cabinets can make any space look clean and bright but for some the thought of creating an all white kitchen can look lifeless, sterile and eerily to a doctor's office. 

Adding countertops to white cabinets is a great way to increase the appeal of your décor. This can be done in various colors, depending on the type of cabinet and style of your kitchen.

Whether you have new cabinets or contacted ASAP Painting to paint your current cabinet white, here are some ideas that will give you the best possible colors to consider. 

Green

Green can bring the kitchen to life! It gives an energy of health and cleanliness. Green is associated with growth and nutrition.

Green is exceptionally versatile. Paler green shades go perfectly with brass accents and natural wood tones. While deeper emerald and forest greens are ideal for color blocking. 

Green is proving especially popular because there are so many different shades to experiment with, from soft sage and earthly olive greens to rich, forest tones.





Blue

Is there any color that evokes a feeling of vacations, freedom and good moments of evasion? 

Blue in a kitchen is often associated with coastal decors, Atlantic or Mediterranean themes. A deep navy blue stands for elegance, while a clear blue can reminds one of traveling to beaches. 

Blue color is the embodiment of not only the magnificence of ocean, seashore or forest lake, it is a color that affects human psyche and mental health. It relieves stress and you will always feel comfortable in a kitchen with blue cabinets.






Beige

Beige is the way to go for a fresh and soft look in the kitchen. Beige kitchen countertops give balance with white kitchen cabinets.  

Beige kitchens tend to look more inviting because of the warm tones in the color. The additional pigment also makes dirt less visible on its surface, so it’s also advantageous for ease of maintenance.

Beige kitchens also look good paired with wood as it enhances and complements the warm tones of the wood.






Black

The differentiation of the white cupboards against the dark ledges gives an appealing and sleek feel. 

Not only is the contrast of white against black dramatic and alluring, it’s practical.

Black countertops hide stains and smudges, while white cabinets are a timeless and functional choice for any kitchen design style. Whether your kitchen is traditional, rustic or modern, black and white finishes can have a stunning effect on the overall look.

Holiday Entertaining Doesn't Have to Be Stressful!

Holidays are fun! We love spending time with our families, friends and relaxing with loved ones. Holidays can also be stressful if you are the one hosting and have an old or outdated kitchen. 

Remodeling your kitchen will make next year's holiday a lot less stressful. Your remodeled kitchen will help enhance your future holiday parties! 

Clear Some Space

It seems no matter how hard you try to divert your guests to the living room or outdoor patio, it seems they always make their way back to where the food is - in the kitchen! 

Opening  up a wall to create an island or even a bar between the kitchen and family room makes it possible for everyone to feel connected without feeling overcrowded. 


Open floor plans let conversations flow freely without congesting the kitchen!



Consider a cut-out service window if you have a load-bearing wall. You can still cook and prep food while conversing with your guests. They are out of the kitchen but still able to bring you up to speed with the new on goings in their life!



See-Through Storage

Invest your new kitchen with a few glass-fronted cabinets. Not only do glass paneled doors provide the perfect storage but with interior lighting, it's the perfect solution to direct your guests towards glassware rather than having your guests rummage through cupboards and junk drawers.



New Countertops

A new kitchen remodel means new countertop. New countertops can instantly brighten up a space. At Kitchen Concepts, we have a variety of materials to choose from - granite, quartz, soapstone and laminate - you can choose the style and color that best suits your personal preference. 

Even if you are not ready to commit to a full-blow kitchen remodel, we can still replace your countertops. A new countertop will make your kitchen feel like new.

Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Let's Talk About Dark Colored Kitchens!

When it comes to the world of kitchen design, white has dominated over the past decade. And it makes sense why. White reflects light and opens up a room whereas black absorbs light and can make a room appear smaller. 

But people are no longer afraid of the dark!


It's all too easy to shy away from black kitchens, but a dark space can work so well in all types of home settings. When used successfully with the right balance of light, black actually brings crisp elegance and sophistication.
 

While white has plenty of advantages of its own, black adds such a sultry, lavish feel to the kitchen you just can’t emulate with white. It is as neutral as white, yet also rich and bold at the same time. 


It is such a surprise to see in the kitchen yet will magically cover up messes white just simply cannot do. You can pair it with any metal, finish, and material imaginable and it will still look formal and fantastic. 





Below are a few tips if you are deciding on a dark colored kitchen remodel. 

All About Balance
The key with black is finding the right balance for your unique space and style. The appeal of black in the kitchen is how striking it looks against white, and vice versa. If you like this look, a tuxedo kitchen may be for you.




Pick The Right Shade

Picking the perfect shade of black in your kitchen can be tricky. Just like there are over 50 shades of grey, there are a ton of shades of black to choose from. As you can see from one of our granite vendors, IGM, just in the color "Absolute Black" you can see the variations they have. Come on by to our showroom in Hadley, MA to view our countertop samples. We have black countertops in granite, quartz and soapstone! Our samples are best view in person!


                       

Mix & Match Materials

If you’re set on creating an all-black kitchen, use various materials to create texture and depth to make it visually interesting. Opt for black cabinets, black marble countertops - even a black tile backsplash.





Choose The Perfect Finish

With deep, rich colors like black, the type of finish you choose will make a bigger impact on the atmosphere of your kitchen than it would in a white kitchen. Do you prefer a matte or a shiny finish? The key here is to match your finish to other elements in your kitchen.
