7. Two-Tone: Beige Uppers and Moss Green Lowers

This is a classic way to make a kitchen feel taller and more open. By putting the lighter color (beige) on top and the darker color (moss green) on the bottom, you ground the room in color while keeping the eye moving upward, which is great for low-ceiling kitchens.

How to Make

Paint your upper cabinets a soft, pale beige. Paint your lower cabinets a muddy, organic moss green. Use a limestone-look porcelain floor tile in a beige shade to complete the foundation. The moss green acts as a “natural” extension of the floor, creating a very cohesive look.

Things Needed

  • Pale beige paint for upper cabinets
  • Moss green paint for lower cabinets
  • Limestone-look porcelain floor tiles
  • Simple black hardware for a “modern farm” touch
  • Open wooden shelving between uppers
