RTA Cabinets - A Durable Base for Design
Ready-to-assemble cabinets are a fantastic choice for this type of kitchen design. The cabinet's simple design and durable materials are an incredible blank slate for mixed-color kitchen cabinets. In addition to their tried and true design, there are several benefits to utilizing these cabinets for your kitchen design. RTA cabinets ship quickly and are flat-packed to ensure they are not damaged from the Cabinet Distribution warehouse to your door. Furthermore, ready-to-assemble cabinets are affordable, constructed with quality materials and craftsmanship, and time-saving due to their easy installation.
How to Choose Different Styles of Kitchen Cabinets:
- Play with Color
- Infuse Elements of Several Styles
- Mix and Match Finishes
- Color Coordinate
- Use Kitchen Island As An Accent
- Color Blocking
One of the most fun parts of compiling a mismatched kitchen cabinet design is the opportunity to play with color. Choose several shades throughout the space, depending on your design and style preferences. Most people choose only two colors. However, selecting three shades is recommended. This allows you to play around more with color placement and creates a more exciting look and feel.
For example, if you love the farmhouse style, choosing shades of beige, robin’s egg blue, sage green, and wood accents will work together to craft a stunning kitchen design! On the other hand, if you are more drawn to a sleek, modern design, go instead for shades of white, opaque black, and silver or black matte accents, as well as cabinet hardware.
If you cannot decide on one style, you can combine elements from multiple types, such as traditional and modern (transitional). Mixed color kitchen cabinets are perfect for achieving this look. Initially, it may not seem a safe choice when considering incorporating elements from various styles. However, if you choose the particular features wisely, a cohesive design will be created. For instance, to create a transitional design combine traditional white shaker cabinets with modern brushed brass accents, chic quartz countertops, and elegant crown molding. Explore the seamless blend of tradition and modernity with our RTA White Shaker cabinets, providing the perfect foundation for your transitional kitchen design.
Similarly, playing with various metal finishes adds visual interest, especially when combined with mixed color kitchen cabinets. One way to do so is to use one type of finish with a coordinating color cabinet. For example, if you incorporate light blue upper cabinets and navy blue base cabinets, use matte black knobs for the uppers and brushed bronze pulls for the lower ones. This will add a unique, stylish touch to your kitchen design.
For those who are drawn to a matchy-matchy appearance that evokes a calm, neat look and feel, consider color coordination. It creates structure while leaving room for playful color selection! Embrace the art of contrast by pairing light and dark tones or experimenting with complementary colors to create a balanced yet dynamic look. Consider a two-tone approach, where upper and lower cabinets sport different hues, adding depth and dimension to your kitchen. Introduce a spectrum of colors, infusing energy and personality into the space for a more eclectic vibe.
If you prefer a cohesive aesthetic, opt for a common thread, matching hardware, or a shared accent color to tie the diverse cabinet styles together. The key is balance, ensuring that the colors complement each other and reflect your style. Whether you lean towards a bold, vibrant palette or a subtle, muted scheme, color coordination in mismatched cabinets transforms your kitchen into a canvas of self-expression and design innovation. Explore this concept further with our RTA Dove Gray and RTA Cyber Gray cabinets, offering a palette of possibilities for your personalized kitchen design.
If you want to stick to traditional style kitchen cabinets as much as possible, installing all the same color and style, consider using your kitchen island as a creative accent. This still adds a pop to the design in a more reserved manner. For example, you can stick to white kitchen cabinets and apply a colored paint to the island such as bold black or nautical navy blue.
You can further separate it from the kitchen cabinets by using different cabinet hardware than you do on the other cabinets. For instance, installing brushed nickel knobs and pulls to the cabinets, while opting for a bolder choice such as polished brass or ceramic knobs to the large kitchen island cabinets. This method still provides a mix-and-match kitchen cabinet design while maintaining elements of conventional design.
Last but certainly not least is color blocking, which is a chic and simple way to achieve the mismatched cabinet design that is super trendy right now. Color blocking in kitchen cabinets is a bold and contemporary design trend that effortlessly injects vibrancy and personality into your culinary space. Picture sleek, monochromatic cabinets paired with a vibrant island or contrasting upper and lower cabinets in complementary shades.
The result is a modern, dynamic aesthetic that catches the eye and establishes clear zones within the kitchen. Whether you choose high-contrast combinations for a dramatic effect or a more subtle play on tones, color blocking adds a touch of avant-garde flair to your kitchen design, making it a focal point that reflects your distinct style and taste. Embrace the power of color to redefine your kitchen's visual narrative, creating a space that is as chic as it is functional.
