Dark Painted Cabinets

Dark painted cabinets are having a moment. A moment that I think is going to stick around for a while.

We have spent 20 years in the beige range that dulled our senses and put us to sleep. It is an exciting time to be in design and see the marketed shift in peoples comfort zone. It’s not like this is our first time in history experiencing dark cabinets. They pull from points in history of old drawing rooms and English libraries, which are rich, warm and inviting.

For your first dark cabinet plunge, start with a dark neutral tone paint color, such as gray, black or navy. A few of my go to favorites are Benjamin Moore Hale Navy, Farrow & Ball Hague Blue, Benjamin Moore French Beret or Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray.
