There is an almost endless number of choices to be made about kitchen cabinetry – configuration, the type of wood and hardware are some of the most notable – but the most important aesthetic choice is what accent colors to paint them.
Here are some ideas on the subject:
Lemon Twist
If a touch of springtime every morning is what you are looking for, seriously consider using this color to brighten and warm your kitchen. The color is especially suitable for those homeowners who like to include flowers or other plants into your space. Not only does the lemon yellow color accent the plants themselves but also helps to reflect any ambient sunlight around the room.
Kendal Green
The “Luck of the Irish” always accompanies this color and for good reason – any kitchen decorated in this color is filled with good spirit and hospitality. While Kendal Green does not always mesh well with neutral colors, it is an excellent accent for white-painted cabinets and white marble countertops. It has the added benefit of hiding a whole host of stains from natural ingredients.
Plum Blossom
A somewhat adventurous choice, this light purple color definitely makes a bold statement whenever encountered by a guest for the first time. In fact, it is probably best used as an accent color on a single wall in an otherwise stainless steel or white-countered kitchen. No matter how this color is used, though, it always brings a very “culinary” feel to the kitchen space.
Stop Red
Is there any color that makes a more dramatic statement than a bright red whether in the power tie of a businessman or in the color scheme of a kitchen? It is a vibrant color that will affect both the homeowner and any of their visitors. It is an ideal choice for homeowners who do a lot of entertaining as guests spend a lot of time in the kitchen on these occasions and the color is particularly “perky.”
Fiery Orange
A very non-traditional choice of color but one that suits many traditionally-styled kitchens. The color orange is always warm and inviting and can be used to great effect in spaces that aim to evoke a French Country or Tudor aesthetic. The color can also be subdued to a large extent to mimic the look of natural wood. This last is an interesting effect that has charmed more than a few interior designers and homeowners.
Commodore Blue
This color is eye-catching like no other but can be overwhelming for a kitchen that gets used on a day-to-day basis. It is probably best used in vacation homes where the owner and their guests can enjoy it on a more limited basis. The power of the color can also be diminished to some degree with muted appliances, dishes, and other cookware.
Gleeful Pistachio
While most folks would most likely consider this color to be somewhat less than “bold,” it still makes a definite impression when used in moderation against a modern stainless-steel backdrop. The pistachio color also makes an excellent accompaniment to wood-grained countertops.

Lifestyle Cabinetry and Milwork re-constructed our kitchen and bathroom in 2013. They were meticulous, very professional and friendly. We are very pleased with the workmanship and wouldn’t hesitate to hire them for another project in the future.
Zayne and his professional staff are absolutely the best in home renovation.
Zayne’s crew are professional, courteous, prompt, polite and offer suggestions while on site. The quality of the workmanship and materials are first class. Zayne will work diligently with you to develop your vision of your project and point out the constraints of your home and how you can proceed to achieve the end result.
Zayne expresses serious concern about your budget and how to accomplish your ideas without spending unnecessarily. His sub-contractors and suppliers are all equally welcoming and patient when you are working with them to find the cabinetry, trim, stone, paint and other materials that are not “cookie cutter”.
We highly recommend, without reservation, Zayne and Lifestyle Cabinetry and Millwork to anyone with a large or small project.
What a great experience to have such a reliable, professional company come to work in our condo! Zayne was so nice and helped us find the perfect cabinets for our kitchen. Dion, who works for Zayne did a wonderful job in completing the projects. We also had electrical, painting, and additional carpentry completed. Everything went just the way we wanted. We could not be happier. We are also going to get additional pricing for more work that we want to have done in our condo in the future.
Wow! Zayne and his team were great. Always responsive, always professional and they provided high-quality work on a tight timeline. Every contractor on the Lifestyle team impressed us without exception. We would highly recommend Lifestyle Cabinetry and Millwork.
Kitchen and bath remodels are complicated projects that require good up front planning and experience. Zayne and his crew have delivered excellent projects for me on repeated occasions. Each time the work has been completed on the agreed schedule and above my expectations. Most importantly it is critical to work with someone you trust and that has the knowledge and experience required – Lifestyle truly fits this description.

This is a professional company in every sense of the word! We hired them to completely remodel our kitchen when we purchased a 20 year old house. They did an amazing job! They were there when they said they would be. They worked full days with few breaks and the quality of their work was superior.
