3 Great Concepts for Adding Color to Your Kitchen Cabinets Before You Sell Your Home

3 Great Concepts for Adding Color to Your Kitchen Cabinets Before You Sell Your Home

Kitchens and baths sell houses, and for most families the kitchen is the hub and heart of the home. When you’re preparing to sell your home in Naples and it’s time to update your kitchen, your goal is to appeal to a majority of homebuyers. Doing so, however, does not mean that color in the kitchen is your enemy.

Consider these three great concepts for adding color, and lasting appeal, to your kitchen cabinets.

Concept #1. Painting Your Cabinets Using Warm Neutrals

It’s okay if your cabinets are white. It’s also okay if they’re not. If the cabinets and counters in your kitchen are white, your space can look stark or washed out. The right colors can keep the vibe of your kitchen light and airy, and at the same time warm and welcoming without being overpowering.

If you want to spice up your kitchen with some color, instead of white cabinets, consider cabinets covered in beige or taupe. You could also do a warm grey, or greige (a mix of grey and beige). You may also opt for a light earthy green, like celadon.

Home experts at House Digest report that designers see warm neutrals like beige and taupe as predominate cabinet colors in a growing majority of today’s kitchens due to their warm undertones, and the fact that homeowners’ tastes are moving away from cooler gray tones, which had once been wildly popular, to a warmer and cozier vibe.

Homeowners eventually become house hunters, so don’t be afraid to warm things up in the kitchen!

Concept #2. Painting Using Contrasting Cabinet Colors

If you can’t part with the concept of having white cabinets, here’s the perfect compromise: a dual cabinet color. Consider white uppers, and lower cabinets in a warm, neutral hue. An added benefit of having lower cabinets that are painted in a color is that it can help conceal surface wear and tear from spills, as well as dust and scuffs from foot traffic. Your backsplash design presents a great opportunity to bridge the two cabinet colors.

Concept #3. Painting Using a Splash of Color

If you don’t want to budge on the concept of a kitchen with white upper and lower cabinets, think about incorporating a splash of cabinet color to one area: the island. To give your kitchen a sense of energy and movement, consider painting your island in a bold hue. A classic pigment like navy blue or Emerald green can be ideal–depending on your decor. Gold cabinet knobs and pulls go well with these rich colors and are great for warming-up your white cabinets, too, for a cohesive look!
