Using neutral-colored KraftMaid® cabinets as the foundation, you’ll have the freedom to incorporate color in some unexpected ways. Here’s a few to consider for your upcoming remodel:

1. A Bold Choice: Focus on the Fifth Wall

Sure, a white ceiling goes with everything, but it also usually goes unnoticed. If you’re open to being creative with color, try a bold, dramatic ceiling to add interest and dimension. Contrary to popular belief, a dark ceiling can actually open up the space by creating the illusion of having no boundaries. Or if you have cabinets in stains like praline cherry, bold colors like navy can balance out the orange and brown tones.

2. Modern Metallics: Stainless Steel Tile

Stainless steel isn’t just for appliances anymore. Because it plays well with nearly every color palette, this sleek metallic backsplash works especially well with dark to medium brown, black or white cabinetry, and provides a touch of modern, industrial style. If you like the idea of a metallic, but aren’t ready to go all-in on stainless, consider adding a metallic horizontal insert between white or light-colored glass subway tiles.

3. Fun and Functional: Colored Sinks, Appliances and Tops

Selecting materials and finishes for items like sinks, appliances and countertops used to come down to a list of rather finite options, with many homeowners opting for stainless steel sinks and appliances, and a muted countertop made of granite, quartz, marble or the like. Today’s homeowners looking to add some colorful show stopping accents can look to porcelain-coated sinks in vibrant blues and greens, and colored ranges and refrigerators in hues like pumpkin and burgundy. Or consider using brightly-colored knobs on your island cabinets to add a small, but impactful pop of color..

For some of us the top shelves might as well not exist. Get up there without asking favors from taller people, then tuck the step stool completely away where it fits perfectly.
