TREND ALERT: “UNMATCHING” CABINETS

Kitchens can be slow to adapt to changing tastes in décor. After all, it can be a lot of work to even decide on a countertop, let alone install one. Factor in the fact that this is also a space where couples tend to argue the most about design, as it’s usually the most-used room in a home or apartment.

However, there is a fresh trend that’s gaining momentum in kitchens across the country. We’re calling it the “unmatched” look, where upper and lower cabinets contrast each other or the kitchen island. Since the effect relies on color rather than pricey materials, it’s a look that can be more easily adapted to your current décor scheme. And, if your better half’s approach to color is radically different than yours, going the “unmatched” route might just be the key to design harmony.
