What happens when you take two seemingly unrelated cabinet options and put them together in an unexpected way in Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Coral Gables, Ocean Reef, Miami Lakes, Key Largo, FL, and the surrounding area? You get a combination that doesn’t seem to work on paper but ends up being an attractive option. At Trimline Design Center, we have seen the mixing of glass painted doors on cabinets with the veneer rift cut oak cabinet trend, and it makes for some interesting kitchens if we do say so. It allows you to have a more expensive looking cabinet to be married with a modern design element with the painted glass, and it all seems to be a workable juxtaposition when done correctly. Contact our team today to learn more about this combination and how it may work in your kitchen.
Add Color in a Unique Way
Rather than having a solid wall of cabinets that are all of the same kind and color, why can’t you break things up a bit? You may want to have base cabinets that are of the veneer rift cut oak cabinets, but you want more color up top. This is where your glass painted cabinets come in, not only for that splash of color but also to provide a bit of a modern flair. While you may have a darker stain on your cabinets, you might then go with a light grey or even an off white for your glass painted upper cabinets.
Complementary colors are the usual answer to these cases, but others want to have a bold contrast in the room. A dark brown could be offset with an intense red painted glass here and there, or a lighter wood shade be paired with a lime green painted glass. Used judiciously, these pops of color and modernity can be a pleasant shock when first seen, and a deeper appreciation cultivated over time.
Be Careful of Doing It Just to Do It
As was stated earlier, these two seemingly disparate offerings are not usually paired because it can be done poorly in so many ways. And if this is a home that you don’t intend to stay in for the rest of your life, this could be a mark against the home if and when you go to sell. The famous phrase ‘just because you can doesn’t mean you should’ applies here. Our team can let you see a variety of pairings and you will quickly see some combinations that work well together.
