Garden Inspired Cabinetry

/in /by

If you are considering updating your kitchen with new cabinetry, take a walk in through a garden for color inspiration. Browns or neutral colors are not the only color choices for cabinetry and countertops. The pops of color in nature can help you design a kitchen with pops of color that will stand the test of time and still look appealing a decade from now.

Garden Colors

If you must have neutral colors, remember that green is considered as neutral color. The stems and leaves of flowers come in various shades of green. Grass and trees will also present you with varying shades of green that you may find as a good starting color for your kitchen wall color, backsplash, countertops or flooring. Then build the color pallette with colorful kitchen accessories.

Color Choices

As you walk around a flower garden in full bloom, which draws your eye in the most – flowers of different colors planted together or a monochromatic flower garden? Just as a garden can be planted with either mixed floral colors or just one, so can a kitchen be designed with mixed colors or just one.

If you find mixed flower colors more eye-appealing, mix up the colors in your kitchen. Start with the cabinets from Distinctive Cabinets and select from different woods for color variation. Dark wood cabinets complimented with a section of brightly colored laminated cabinets add a touch of whimsy to a classic kitchen, or perhaps an all-white kitchen with a colorful glass backsplash would be more your taste. It’s your kitchen so have fun with colors that make you happy. There’s no right or wrong way to go with color.

Texture

Gardens are filled with texture and your kitchen can be too. A variety of wood and laminate finishes can provide you with cabinets that have a distressed or smooth texture or somewhere in-between. Natural, eco-friendly choices for building materials can be discovered while walking through a garden. Bamboo is an example of a textured, renewable resource found in nature that is great for use in the kitchen.

Countertops, flooring, backsplashes are also other areas of the kitchen that can reflect garden-inspired texture. Rough, smooth, hard or soft, all textures can be incorporated in a customized kitchen.

The weather is finally warm in Green Bay, so take a stroll through a park or go out for a hike and find inspiration in nature that you can bring into your home.
