Selecting colors is key part of your remodel process. Current trends in cabinetry run to warmer colors and tones. White cabinetry can be “warmed” to off white or with a simple “rub through” to the warm wood below. In wood cabinetry, medium to dark tones, in very dark, rich colors, are a popular choice. Black, very dark brown and cabernet tones can easily become a rich focal point to your kitchen. While cherry and maple remain the most popular types of wood selected, other species such as birch, alder and beech are growing in popularity. Sustainable woods such as Lyptus are also gaining in popularity due to their “green” status.

Room colors in Carmel, Chartreuse and various shades of Blues are more popular than ever and reflect a pure and clean look. Also making a comeback are black and white color schemes, which also provide a kitchen or room with a very distinct look and feel.
