Contemporary Country

A country kitchen that feels fresh and inviting. The grove detail peripheral cabinets were in great condition for this remodel, so Outline Interiors simply painted them in Benjamin Moore’s Boreal Forest giving it all the elegance and cozy rustic vibe that you could imagine. Breaking up the cabinets with some glazing adds visual appeal, too; letting some very nice crockery shine through.

Rich and Energetic Tones

For a bold and luxurious finish, choose a jewel tone or deep navy on your kitchen cabinets as looks so beautiful in The Fulton Skyline loft project by Outline Interiors. Against the hot coral of the island bar stools, it’s a vibrant contrast that will bring all the energy to dinner parties. “In a larger kitchen, you have more flexibility with color,” adds Kerith Flynn. “You can experiment with deeper, bolder tones that might overwhelm a smaller space.”

Scandi Cool

For a tranquil atmosphere that is cozy but sophisticated, choosing a modern Scandi kitchen cabinet design in a light grain wood makes the perfect choice. For a touch more detail, add black, simple hardware. And for design punch, choose a lively painted island.

All White (With A Touch Of Brass)

In this River North Residence project in Chicago, the Outline Interiors‘ designers used brass hardware on the wall of kitchen cabinets, bringing a luxe element to the entire space and breaking up a monochromatic white color scheme. “Do invest in good hardware, it’s like jewelry for your cabinets,” adds Lauren Lerner.
