3. Textured finish

A new trend that is gaining popularity is the pleasant combination of natural wood with painted cabinets. While in the past people used to paint their wooden kitchen cabinets in different shades for top and bottom something similar is being done now also with a twist. Besides giving pleasing complementary hues to top and bottom cabinets made of wood, now they are also given just a light dab of paint.

Using intense colors is also an upcoming trend in 2020 like peacock blue, bright yellow, parrot green and the deep wine burgundy like here. This year with life around the world undergoing tumultuous changes there is no limitation to colors that can be used to brighten up the kitchen. Ideally bright tones should be tempered with light colors like white here to create soothing aura.

While white is pleasing to the eye too much of it can blur details in small spaces like this tiny kitchen. Architecture of this pretty kitchen has been highlighted by use of lovely teal blue on certain sections of the cabinets along with white to define the storage area.

Beige is another color that can be used if you want to have a minimalist kitchen without making it all white. The kitchen here is ringed with neutral beige cabinets while the walls are a tinge of creamy white and the floor is warm brown. Black granite counter-top, wide windows and soft toned back-splash helps to make wholesome cooking environment.

8. Combination of two elements

The owner wanted something unique for storage so two elements were used to create a startling combination. Warm brown wooden tones were implemented for below counter storage while transparent glass fronted cabinets were used for top storage. The unique combination makes the kitchen look harmonious while the sparkling white counter keeps the place neatly tied up.

9. Muted lemon

Muted colors have always ruled the roost and this soft shade of lemon is no exception. Dark granite counter and tiled back-splash focus viewer' attention on the cheerful palette. This combination stands the test of time and brings depth to the tiny kitchen.
