What Are Two-Toned Cabinets?
The two-tone cabinet style is characterized by having two sets of cabinets in different colors. This style usually creates a contrast between the upper and lower cabinets, but you can also offset your island cabinets with the rest of your kitchen cabinets.
Two-tone cabinets aren’t just for looks, either. They create a brighter, more vibrant, and more lively atmosphere with more visual interest, which can be great for creating a focal point or making your kitchen look larger while still grounding the space.
Can Two-Tone Cabinets Fit Any Kitchen Design Theme?
As long as you select the right combination of colors, two-tone cabinets can blend into any theme: rustic, retro, modern, and beyond! But, if your kitchen already features more than one color, it may not be a good idea.
What’s The Two-Tone Cabinet Rule?
The main rule for two-tone cabinets is darker colors below and lighter colors on top. If you have an island, those cabinets would be the darker ones, while the upper and lower regular cabinets are the lighter color(although you can get away with straying from this rule if you have the space to make up for it, like a large kitchen or high ceilings). The most important thing is to choose a complementary combination. For example, forest green on the bottom, light cool beige on top
