How to Color Match Kitchen Cabinets

Families normally spend a large portion of their time in the kitchen, so it's important to choose the right colors for that entire area, including the cabinets. Use colors that make you feel comfortable and complement the rest of your home.

Instructions

    1

    Determine whether you want a wood grain for your kitchen cabinets or whether you want to paint them. For example, if your house has a country look, you may want to select an oak wood grain to match the rest of your furniture. An oak grain goes well with colors generally associated with country decor, like blues and greens.

    2

    Choose a cherry finish if you like the traditional look. This includes Victorian and Old English decor. Cherry cabinets match colors like mauves, greens and maroon, colors often used in traditional decorating.

    3

    Paint your kitchen cabinets a glossy white if you like French or colonial decor. French decor incorporates bright colors, like blue, orange, yellow and red. The white will make bright color accents stand out.

    4

    Paint your cabinets a bright color to match your contemporary taste. Modern interior designers use bright colors when decorating contemporary homes. You may paint them any color you choose such as yellow, orange, blue, red or green. Display a few accents the same color as the cabinets to tie in everything.
