Giving your kitchen cabinets an extra dose of character can be as easy as an afternoon project.
One of my favorite tricks for spicing up your cabinets without switching them out or giving them a new finish is simply transforming the inside of your cabinets. Giving this often ignored space a pop of color or pattern (or both) will infuse the entire kitchen with new life. And it’s easy, quick and affordable.
If you have all solid cabinet doors, you can either switch out a row for glass-paneled doors or you can take the doors of all together for some open shelving. Both looks are stylish and gaining popularity in kitchens today.
To get a better idea of what this look can accomplish, take a look at the 10 kitchens below.
Black and white damask wallpaper lines the inside of the cabinets for a stylish touch of character.
Beadboard in a soft green gives these cabinets texture and dimension.
Black paint really makes the decor pop, especially when contrasted against the white cabinets.
Turquoise looks dynamic and coastal in this lovely white kitchen, drawing your eye to that view.
A soft blue breaks up all the black and white in this kitchen for an unexpected dose of color.
If you opt for a color on your cabinets, painting them the same color on the inside will create a nice flow.
A hint of pattern behind these shelves is charming and unexpected.
A deep blue in the cabinets plays off the china, embracing the palette.
A bold pattern can bring your cabinets to life, like this colorful floral design. By keeping the items all white, clear or silver, it lets the pattern shine.
Here is another example of matching the backdrop to your special china to create one cohesive and special look.
Accenting the inside of your cabinets can transform your entire kitchen into one with depth and character. It may just inspire you to fall in love with your kitchen all over again.
Warm regards,
