Two Tone Ikea Kitchen Cabinets
Comments (2)I think it will look great! I've come to really like that look. Gives you a change to have white but with variety. We stumbled into a two-tone look during our remodel. Was going to go back with cream cabinets, then changed mind and went with cherry on bottom so it wouldn't show as much wear as the cream/white. Here's our two-tone kitchen (not finished yet)....See MoreKitchen Design: Two-tone cabinets and countertops
Comments (5)Wow! Thanks everyone for the quick feedback. We actually don't own the house yet (we get keys tomorrow - yipee!) so the measurements are not exact. We'll have to have a pro designer make adjustments, but thanks for the tips things to keep in mind regarding dishwasher and reaching upper cabinets. Even the cabinet/drawer types in the rendering are just placeholders for now. We need to think more about what kind of storage functions we need. The slat wall and the angled corner cabinet are a function of me not knowing how to use the software! That's an exterior wall and for some reason I can't figure out how to change the defaults on those! You'll notice too that some of the cabinets have drawer pulls and some have knobs. That might be OK, but right now it's really random. I'm not sure why the software did that... I was thinking of having different door styles. Possibly doing something really shiny IKEA-eqsue in the white, and a dark wood for the dark. Sparklekitty - so funny you say that about the counter end. We call it the peninsula when talking about it, because it does seem like that. We've tried to see if we can open the layout by moving the fridge to the opposite side of the kitchen, and then turning the "peninsula" sideways into an island, but it seems too cramped on the cooktop side. Perhaps when we get the exact measurements and go to a designer we can exlpore that again, as it would be nice to have it opened up. Thanks everyone!...See MoreKITCHEN CABINETS: Two-Tone DILEMMA
Comments (8)White cabinets do not get dirtier than dark. What do you mean by wood look ? I happen to love real walnut and high gloss white kitchens but they need to be planned well. This is one way to handle the 2 tones it might work for your space .Notice around the fridge. BTW your KD should be coming up with ideas for this and I see no purpose in the 2 sinks with some proper design the fridge could be where the right hand cabinets are and that would eliminate the need for the sink by the cooktop and also avoid having to work around the island. Is this plan all done or could you post a floor plan for some more ideas....See MoreGalley Kitchen - two tone cabinets too much?
Comments (35)Green and blue are my favorite colors, so I am biased, but both are very calming and good choices for cabinets. I don't think they will make you feel claustrophobic in your kitchen. I have been in small galley kitchens with all dark wood uppers and lowers and they did not feel claustrophobic because they had a window , and yours has three! Whether you choose blue or green is totally your choice. Why not order some samples of the colors you are considering and paint up several pieces of poster board in the various colors you are considering and get some painters tape and double the tape around on itself and stick the poster board to the cabinets for a few hours while you are home and see what you prefer at different times of the day. Blue, green? PPG Night Watch? PPG Royal Hunter Green? PPG Daring Indigo? PPG Dragonfly? The PPG colors with your choice of hardware and white walls and counter are reminiscent of a crisp military uniform. For a backsplash you can try something a little different, a 4" x 4" square subway tile, it is a fresh look, and you can do it as a running bond or a straight set. And if you want something different over the stove you can do them on a diagonal. ....See Morelucky998877
