More Touches of Gold
Touches of gold — like the range hood's trim and the drawer pulls — give a luxurious glow to this gourmet kitchen's navy blue and charcoal gray palette.
And Silver, Too
This kitchen feels like a glamorous version of a ship's kitchen, with streamlined, silvery design elements and porthole windows. Mahogany floors are a welcome touch of warmth.
White, Contemporary and Open
In this open plan kitchen, pale woods and white surfaces create a clean, streamlined look that's at once sophisticated and functional. A long center island features a waterfall countertop, along with ample seating and smoky gray pendant task lighting. Glass-front cabinetry showcases dishwear and glassware that continues the room's neutral, whitewashed color scheme.
White Cabinets With Beachy Backsplash
The bright-white, shaker style cabinets in the kitchen are adorned with simple silver knobs and pulls. A breezy, beachy glass backsplash adds serene color and visual interest to the otherwise neutral space.
A Black, White and Gold Combination
Black and gold combine to create a sleek profile in this streamlined, modern kitchen. A mix of dark and light cabinetry is unified by dark countertops and an eye-catching backsplash that brings the mix of hues together.
Dark Finishes
Dark blue kitchen cabinets look clean and handsome. When topped with butcher block countertops and an Oriental accent rug, a kitchen like this looks on-trend and classic at the same time.
Black and White Palette
Strong and striking, this kitchen takes a grand piano approach to its look with a black-and-white palette, softened by a pale gray backsplash. Going with black for the lower cabinets grounds the room.
Open Plan Kitchen With Dark Cabinetry
In this open plan kitchen and dining area, cabinetry and other accents on the outer perimeter are dark. To brighten up the room's overall look, the center of the space has lots of light elements: white ceiling beams, a light hardwood floor and countertops.
Exotic Color-Block
Alternative wood can be used for kitchen cabinets to give any space an exotic look. The darker mahogany and color-block cabinets in this kitchen balance out white paneling, countertops and epoxy flooring. Cleverly placed appliances enhance the color-block look.
A Mix of Cabinet Colors
The cabinets in this open plan kitchen are a fun mix of white, gray and blue. Hardwood floors and simple wood barstools help unify the varied colors.
Blue-and-White Cottage Kitchen
Beautiful blue cabinets pair with creamy white countertops for a classic cottage-inspired kitchen. White subway tile creates a striking backsplash up to the ceiling.
Shaker Style
Shaker cabinets have quickly become one of the most popular cabinet styles for kitchens of every type. The simple, square-paneled doors look flawless with any hardware. This kitchen features dark-hued shaker cabinets with striking brass hardware that leaves the space feeling clean and modern.
Flat Fronts
This modern condo kitchen features blue, flat-panel cabinets with marble countertops and backsplash. Contemporary bar stool seating and recessed ceiling lights add to the modern style of the space.
Neutral, Contemporary Kitchen
In this long, contemporary kitchen, dual islands feature matching waterfall countertops. With white finishes and natural woods dominating the space, the bold blue accent color on chairs and inside the pendant lights stands out. Open shelving adds to the room's airy appeal.
The Natural Look
This California kitchen features an earthy palette made up of natural elements that add texture and interest. The lower cabinet features a light-colored wood that adds to the organic nature of the space. A long, paneled wall offers open and closed storage and gives a nod to the home's midcentury modern architecture. A stone fireplace wraps around to service both the kitchen and living area. The design team removed a wall to open up the kitchen, adding this center island with a quartz waterfall-edge countertop.
More California Coastal Vibe
Horizontal lines carried through the cabinetry, tile work and floating shelves unify the design elements of this California coastal-style kitchen. Benjamin Moore's "Blue Suede Shoes" provides the bold color to the cabinets and island base and is balanced by the sleek white tiles on the backsplash behind the stove and around the windows and the white paneled, vaulted ceiling.
Cottage Chic
This airy kitchen is open to its setting, with big windows looking out to the back yard. With light-colored cabinets and rustic finishes, this space is the essence of cottage chic.
Warm Wood
Warm wood is the star of the open plan kitchen, used for the floors, lower cabinets, chairs and a sunny, built-in banquette.
Scandinavian Chef 's Kitchen With Oak Cabinets
Chef-grade stainless steel appliances nestle in between lovely white oak cabinetry. The white backsplash and countertops are a pop of fresh.
Keep It Concealed
The most unique feature of this kitchen is the refrigerator that's integrated into the cabinetry for a kitchen that's as practical as it is pretty. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets ensure this kitchen not only has ample storage, but also make the room feel much larger.
Hidden Space
Shaker-style cabinets frame this craftsman-influenced kitchen design, ensuring that there is ample storage. Maximizing the storage space in any kitchen is a design decision that you'll never regret.
Goodbye Cabinet Doors
The large gourmet kitchen grounds its airy, white cabinetry by painting the island's lower half a beautiful midnight blue. For more accessibility and easier storage, the island features large drawers. Without cabinet doors, access to the cabinet contents becomes much easier. Brass drawer and cabinet pulls add another lovely layer.
Double Duty
This large, open kitchen blends rustic, industrial and contemporary design, but still remains incredibly welcoming. With two large islands, it has ample prep space. The space has a high, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and includes large windows for viewing the surrounding mountains.
Specialty Spaces
Nothing sets a kitchen apart like specialty cabinets sprinkled throughout the space. This kitchen features a range with sliding drawers on boths sides. Topped with marble, one drawer houses an array of spices and the drawer on the other side features a utensil storage system.
Rustic + Clean
The rustic look of the kitchen's reclaimed, mushroom wood ceiling is a compelling textural pairing with the room's subway tile walls, terra-cotta floor as well as a perfect compliment to the matching island. Above the long island, a pot rack adds to the friendly farmhouse feel.
Rustic Look Includes Vintage Stove and Pie Cabinet
This rustic kitchen features dark wooden cabinets, wood paneled walls, a black vintage stove, a classic ice box, and a custom pie cabinet to infuse a collected and vintage aesthetic while providing modern comforts.
A Sophisticated Look
Gray cabinetry with a high gloss sheen is the star of this kitchen. A white marble backsplash and kitchen island with a waterfall countertop and sleek white bar chairs really stand out in contrast to the gray. Pendant lights hang over the island, adding a touch of black accent.
European Charm
The kitchen seems to go on forever. Charming farmhouse details — like a weathered, gray china cabinet and an island with corner posts — fill the space. Exposed wood beams criss-crossing the ceiling accent the space and create beautiful contrast with the neutral palette.
High-Gloss Cabinetry
This modern loft kitchen features high gloss red lacquered cabinetry to compliment the exposed brick, reclaimed barn wood, and deep gray ceramic backsplash. A custom white oak bar top surrounds the space and a custom rail and cable system creates an airy mezzanine.
... And a White Lacquer Finish
Because the homeowner loved the look of white lacquer kitchen cabinets, but didn't want the kitchen to feel too sterile, designers added natural wood cabinets and an eating bar to the mix for warmth.
Pink Open Plan
A monotone kitchen has a few important accents that wake the space right up. Modern pendants cut against the color grain in mint green and orange. And leafy houseplants are a welcome note of nature.
