Kitchen cabinet finishes easily set the overall atmosphere of your room. For the next 20-30 years you and your family will spend countless hours in this space eating with each other, doing homework, or baking. Among the updates your new kitchen cabinets will receive, selecting cabinet colors is one of the more important decisions.

Which colors will go well together?

 

How do you match wood finishes?

 

What do you want long term?

 

What if you’re not sure what to do?

 

The most important aspect of your kitchen remodel's color scheme is that it expresses you. If you’re nervous to go with bold colors, keep the more expensive materials, like cabinets, neutral and build in color around it. With this approach you will have the flexibility to adjust things like wallpaper, window treatments, and accessories as your tastes change. Here’s list of finish combinations to start stirring your creativity.
