You’ve picked out the cabinets, the counters are selected, now for the final details. When remodeling your kitchen some of the hardest choices to make are the paint colors and the hardware.
Hardware
Choosing hardware is like picking the accessories to go with an outfit, they can either complement or they can detract. Take a cue from the cabinets themselves. If there are lots of right angles and sharp corners, consider hardware that shares these attributes. For instance, contemporary kitchens are complemented by simple, streamlined hardware. For cabinetry that has rounded curves and more details, choose something along those lines.
One way to mix and match with metal hardware is to stay within the same finish, for example, a variety of complementary shapes all in brushed nickel. Unique handles and pulls are a good way to inject your personality in your kitchen in a way that isn’t overwhelming. They can also be a great way to introduce accents of color. Let the kitchenCRATE team help you make a selection that matches both your personal taste and your new kitchen.
Paint Colors
Benjamin Moore Paint – Thunder
When it comes to paint colors white has a new rival – gray, which is making waves in the world of interior design for its complementary nature. Whichever color you choose, keeping things on the lighter end of the spectrum will make the room feel more open and spacious.
Soft White Behr – Nano White
Even just a touch of gray can be a great alternative to white. Gray is an excellent choice for a neutral as it makes bold colors pop and adds depth to subtle shades. Warm grays make a kitchen cozy and inviting. Grays with an undertone of blue can be reminiscent of steel, creating an industrial aesthetic. Having contrasting shades of gray can add depth to a room, make it seem larger, without running the risk of feeling overwhelming and attention-seeking.
Warm White Behr – Crystal Cut
Do you like white before and after Labor Day, but to you, Cotton Blossom and Vanilla Frosting look identical? Here’s a primer to get you started. Cool whites give a feeling of newness and work well with contemporary features. Warm whites are well suited to more traditional styles. Soft whites look classic and elegant.
