Two-Tone Kitchen
A kitchen design approach that uses two different cabinet colors or finishes — typically a lighter color on upper cabinets and a darker or contrasting color on lower cabinets, or a different color on the island. Two-tone kitchens create visual depth, define zones, and add design interest without the commitment of a single bold color throughout. Popular combinations include white uppers with navy, gray, or natural wood base cabinets.
