Granite and cabinet combinations
Among one of the most commonly asked kitchen area design questions are which colors and materials efforts perfect together. That’s what we’ll be looking at this time around in Sensible Style, utilizing three of probably the most common cabinet finishes as a starting point.
MAPLE MASTERY
Maple is a wood species, not a color, but it’s most regularly associated with golden- or light- to mid-brown-toned stains. These give you a ton of versatility in flooring, appliance and countertop combinations. Here are a few possibilities to obtain you started.
Classic combinations: Dark gold and rich tan cabinets perform effectively with black or stainless steel appliances and dark countertops, such as black and dark green natural or engineered stone. Select a wood or tile floor in the same gold or tan/brown family as the cabinets – but about two shades lighter or darker – to coordinate. As maple tends to have little visible grain pattern, maple can operate nicely with vivid woods like oak or cherry.
Contemporary combinations: Dark gold and rich tan cabinets also can function effectively with gray counters – especially concrete or a matte-finish quartz – for a way more updated appearance. I suggest pairing them with stainless appliances and a slate or slate-look floor. You could also opt for a bamboo in a coordinating gold or tan about a shade or two lighter than the cabinets.
Modern Combinations: High-gloss lacquer finishes in white give a sharp, contemporary seem to be to a kitchen. They perform well greatest with paneled and stainless steel appliances, even though sleek white appliances also can do the job. When going modern with a white kitchen area, you’ll be able to go bold with an orange quartz countertop or multi-colored recycled glass countertop, or go sleek using a pale gray or white material, for even more of an “un-kitchen” look. You could also add stainless and glass cabinet doors and other stainless details, like legs or toekicks, to get a modern appearance. (The trendier you go, having said that, the quicker your kitchen will date itself.)
