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 specialty color cabinets
Specialty colors cover accent and statement finishes that do not fit neatly into a single color family. They are most often used as a focal point — an island, a feature wall of cabinets, or a specialty piece — rather than across an entire kitchen. If you have a specific color in mind, comparing a sample or asking us to check availability is the best next step.
Because specialty finishes vary widely, pairing depends on the specific color. As a general rule, keeping surrounding cabinets and countertops neutral lets a specialty accent stand out.
Popular ways to use specialty color cabinets
These are design ideas to consider — availability of specific finishes varies by brand and cabinet line.
