Built for real kitchen design decisions
Choosing a cabinet color affects the whole kitchen — your countertops, flooring, backsplash, lighting, and hardware all play off the cabinets. Here is how to think it through and compare options before you order.
How to choose espresso cabinets
Espresso is a deep, dark brown finish that gives a kitchen a rich, warm look. Like other dark finishes, it pairs best with lighter countertops and good lighting to keep the space balanced. Comparing a sample at home helps you see how deep the finish reads in your kitchen.
Espresso is often paired with light stone-look counters and with stainless, bronze, or black hardware. Lighter walls and counters help offset the depth of the finish.
