Accent Kitchen Cabinet Trend
In recent years the trend of an accent kitchen island and cabinets has grown in popularity to provide a different sense of personality for the space.
We personally love this trend!
Everyone has seen a kitchen like this with dark wood cabinets, granite counters and wood floors. All of these somber finishes tend to soak up all of the light in the room and make it feel dark and heavy.
All of these elements give the essence of being dated even though it has an open concept design.
The trend of lightening cabinets to either white or gray and accent kitchen island has grown in popularity and helps brighten up the space. Even though granite is still a popular material, homeowners are trading out for a marble look and neutral backsplashes for a timeless appeal. This allows you to have fun with the cabinets
When choosing an accent for your kitchen cabinets, the main cabinet color should be a timeless neutral. The accent should be complimentary and not necessarily bold. Blues, greens, and grays are among the favorites. The more vibrant the color, the quicker you may get tired of it.
An alternative to having a painted island is removing it completely and installing a farm-style island. There are so many different styles of farm tables that you can find one as rustic or as contemporary to fit your style.
