5 Best Colors to Complement Your Oak Cabinets

Do you have oak or wood kitchen cabinets but don’t think they look very good? Wood cabinets can become a centerpiece in your house when paired with just the right color of paint on the walls. If you’re ready to change the colors in your Boulder, CO, kitchen but you want to keep your warm wood cabinets, there are some incredible wall color choices for you to consider. To get you started as you brainstorm, the pros at Jacobsen Brothers Painting have compiled the top 5 best colors that can add an irresistible draw to your kitchen.

Classic White

The traditional white showcase walls next to warm oak cupboards are a classic pairing that never grows old. This clean, crisp look keeps your kitchen looking breezy, clean and sophisticated in its simplicity.

Intense Blue

If you’re looking for a dramatic color for your kitchen, blues are excellent choices to complement wood. Deep navy is a very popular color today. It makes the wood seem much lighter and more prominent while giving the kitchen a tidy appearance. A sharp mint blue gives energy to the space without downplaying the wood. Or, a popular gray-aqua hue, this year’s color of the year in most of the leading paint companies, is an attractive choice that ushers in a sense of peace and tranquility.

Pastel Yellow

While at first glance it may seem counterintuitive to pair washed yellow with wood cabinets, a honey-colored cabinet really pops when surrounded by a light yellow. It might be a good idea to try a sample area first before deciding, just to be sure it is not too yellow.

Earth Green

You can go one of two ways with a woodsy green. An earth green that isn’t too dark adds a cheerful vibe to the kitchen and looks perfect with wood. An icy spruce is a fresh color that stimulates creativity in the kitchen.

Beige, Taupe or Greige

Which tone do you love the most? Any of these three winsome neutrals will look fantastic when accenting wood cabinets. Cool colors look great alongside warm cabinets and produce just the right amount of contrast. They also offer a restful quality that can make the kitchen your favorite space to unwind while preparing something tasty to eat.
