This electric yellow was exactly what Galeana Younger’s mother, who also happened to be her client, was looking for. In a home where joy is prioritized over resale value, it only made sense to coat the kitchen cabinets with a bright, happy hue.

Pair Both Old and New Cabinetry

When Chandler and Jeremy Quarles of Peach & Pine Interiors moved into their Tennessee home, the virtually untouched 1960s time capsule of a kitchen had great potential. For their cabinet choices, they decided to embrace both the old and the new, using an antique cabinet for part of their storage solution and bringing in new yet stylistically appropriate cabinetry for the rest. “My inspiration comes from classic, historic architecture from the American South combined with a love for English interiors,” Chandler says, which is reflected in these solid walnut cabinets below the island that brings in a beautiful warmth.

Paint Them a Soft Neutral Tone

To further capture the Quarles’s American South- and English-inspired aesthetic, the Peach & Pine Interiors designers painted the kitchen cabinets around the walls a nice neutral tone: Benjamin Moore’s Natural Cream. The greige shade helps to balance the weight of the dark walnut cabinetry on the island.

Change Up Your Hardware Direction

Fanciful cabinet hardware is only beneficial if it’s functional. And for upper kitchen cabinets, the hardware needs to be easy to reach. If this space utilized the side placement of the grab bar on the top storage, no one would ever be able to reach it. However, by putting the drawer pull on the bottom, this cabinet can now lift for easy access.

Mix and Match Storage Styles

Rather than simply have pairs of cabinets down the entirety of this storage block, design firm Studio Thomas James chose to play Tetris with their kitchen cabinet idea. A pull-out for trash, a series of different drawer depths, and long cabinets for wine glasses increase the functionality of this kitchen without making it look like a hodge-podge of doors.

Mimic Your Architecture

Cabinets don’t have to be rectangular. Embrace your home’s character, or add personality to a new build, by altering the shape of your cabinetry. The arched cut-outs in this Memphis kitchen accentuate the tall ceilings.

The most popular kitchen cabinet colors are often neutrals, but if you prefer a more maximalist approach, why not opt for a brighter hue? Take inspiration from this space by Cecilia Casagrande and the bold, sunshiney yellow that brightens up this Massachusetts home.

Make Space for Oversized Storage

We all have those small appliances or pieces of cookware that can’t quite fit into our standard cabinets: slow cookers, serving platters, and Dutch ovens to name a few. If you’re designing your kitchen cabinet idea from the ground up, leave room for extra large or deep cabinets. This space has them built into the base of the island.

Stick With an Earthy Color Palette

Split the Lower and Upper Cabinets

Further emphasize the different colors in your overall palette by choosing two different hues for the upper and lower cabinets in your kitchen. This southern California kitchen would’ve remained all white had designer Brian Paquette not chosen to paint the lower cabinets the home’s signature green—which just so happened to perfectly match the barstools as well.

Add Vented Cabinets

If your home lacks a proper laundry room and your appliances live in the kitchen, hide them away with vented cabinets. Designer Katie Hodges’s Hollywood Hills home didn’t offer enough square footage for a separate laundry space, so she snuck in one using these chic custom cabinets coated in Farrow & Ball’s Mouse’s Back paint.

In designer Ashley Maddox’s formerly untouched midcentury home that she renovated with her Magnolia colleague Hilary Walker, Maddox went with a rich, dark walnut for her cabinetry. Not only does this kitchen cabinet idea keep the space timeless, but it contrasts so deeply with the white walls that it forces the eye to the cabinets.

Make It Hazy

Add dimension to your glass cabinetry by choosing a fluted glass for the outside. The textured glass in this kitchen cabinet idea reflects light differently than regular glass, creating a hazy look that overlays whatever’s stored inside. Designer Noz Nozawa chose black and brown with an orange undertone for her cabinets, giving the room a cozy, warm feel.

Keep It Minimalist

Go with light-colored, no-frills cabinets to embrace a minimalist kitchen. In designer Susannah Charbin’s Long Island home, she wanted the outdoors to be the focus of the property, letting the view from the kitchen windows do the talking rather than what’s inside.

Honor the environment surrounding your home and choose a native material for your cabinetry. Designer Tom Scheerer chose pecky cypress wood for much of this Florida kitchen space because the tree is native to the wetlands.

Mix It Up

Add brightness and whimsy to your space by painting your cabinets different playful colors. Designer Kit Kemp didn’t keep with traditional hues in her kitchen—she chose a sunny yellow (Babouche by Farrow & Ball), a pastel coral, and a baby blue that can’t be seen here.

Choose a High-Gloss Paint

Not only does this deep maroon high-gloss paint on the cabinets match the Viking range in this historic Kansas City home, but it reflects enough light to make the space appear larger. This bar, designed by Annie Kern (along with the rest of the home), perfectly captures the moody vibe of the house.
