As the modern organic style and earth tones grow in popularity, so do medium wood kitchen cabinets. In addition to light wood cabinets, medium tones are gaining popularity because of their rich colors and definition. These colors provide an elevated, earthy style while incorporating colors from transitional designs. This way your design is more unique, and you get the best of both worlds.

Medium wood color ranges are vast. Where one person chooses cherry red, another homeowner might want ash, chocolate brown or even green paint. All these colors will create completely different designs making this tone variation perfect for everyone. For the natural wood cabinet lover, darker stains are even great for covering up color changes in wood caused by the natural aging process.
