Two-tone Cabinets - Choose two different colours?

People often ask us if they can have two different colours (two-tone cabinets). Example: a darker colour for the uppers, lowers or kitchen island and the answer is... Absolutely!

Single color kitchen are the most common and they are a good choice if blended in with the rest of the kitchen. However, two-tone kitchen cabinets can be more attractive and make a great visual impact.

Paint upper or main cabinets in a light shade and a deeper colour on the lowers or island to give a distinct separation between the two.
