When it comes time for a full kitchen remodel in East Brunswick, making the space feel cohesive can be a real struggle. What may seem like a good design choice early on could turn into a reality-show level disaster later. To avoid major clashes, it’s important to keep a few important design details in mind. How your cabinets and backsplashes look together in the kitchen is one of the most vital components for a put together room. There will always be some degree of personal aesthetic when it comes to preferences, of course. But it can be tough to choose cabinet faces and expensive marble if you’re not sure of the finished product.
White Will Go with (Almost) Anything
The white subway tile is trending for a reason. It simply goes with nearly everything. People tend to have strong opinions on it, love it or hate it. In the above kitchen, it’s paired with a grey shaker style cabinet for a lighter look. It’s a great pairing if your kitchen has fewer windows or lower lighting. The white bounces light more effectively, but the grey cabinets keep it from being boring. Keep in mind that subway tiles come in a variety of sizes and reflectiveness. Both of these factors can change the appearance of a room.
This a more eclectic take on the above truism. If you keep the cabinets a crisp white, you have more freedom to play around with the backsplash. This bright blue looks unique and cheery. Most of all, though, it doesn’t clash with the cabinets.
Darker Cabinets Aren’t a Mood Killer
Well, not necessarily, at least. Unless you want an oppressive kitchen from a suspense thriller movie set, you have to be careful with lighting. The skylights in the above kitchen allowed this homeowner to be a little more dramatic in their cabinet and backsplash pairing. The grey beautifully picks up the veining in the marble, too.
Transport Yourself with Design Choices
Some of our favorite design spaces are the ones that remind us of our travels. The kitchen above uses beautiful while cabinets with darker hardware and sandy backsplashes to give hints of an Italian kitchen. No heavy-handed styling needed. Maybe a nautical combination could call back to a lovely beach vacation. Perhaps a farmhouse style reminds you of growing up in the country. With the right design choices, you could smile just a little bit wider when you walk into your own kitchen.
