The kitchen is most likely the room that you spend your most awake time in in the house.\u00a0 You look at it every day, day in and day out.\u00a0 After a while, you may wish for a different look and feel of the kitchen, or that dark kitchen may become a bit oppressive to you.\u00a0 Why not give it a good two-tone paint job and really bring it back to life!<\/p>\n
Before you give it a paint job, it would be a good idea to check around your kitchen to make sure that it\u2019s stable and still in good shape.\u00a0 We are going to go out on a limb here and say that if you have RTA kitchen cabinets (from a solid, reputable dealer, like RTA Cabinet Store!), it\u2019s a pretty good bet that things are doing well.\u00a0 Otherwise, check out pretty seriously that none of the cabinets are wobbly, most of the doors close well and don\u2019t stick, there is no major water damage, etc.\u00a0 If the answer is no to all the potential serious problems, you are good to go!<\/p>\n
One reason for the two-tone kitchen is to give the visual look and feel that the kitchen is expanding, and you have more space.\u00a0 The contrast between the bottom and the top should not be stark, but enough so that the paint job between the two doesn\u2019t look like a mistake!\u00a0 Having a slate gray or lighter on the bottom and a white on the top looks pretty good, and tricks the eye into thinking that there is a lot of space on top.\u00a0 This is great, as it\u2019s usually the upper cabinets that visually take away the room\u2019s space.\u00a0 It also allows for great light bounce, really brightening up your kitchen.\u00a0 Remember, it\u2019s always a good idea to go with the same color spectrum, rather than mixing and matching.\u00a0 Oh, and a different colored sink can be a great addition to this look.<\/p>\n
Changing the backsplash is kind of essential to this equation, as you will want to get something that bridges the gap between the two colors.\u00a0 Small gray bricks (with a hue between the two colors you are painting) are a great idea, with a lighter grout.\u00a0 Or you could use just about anything that is an amalgam of the two colors you have chosen.\u00a0 Go ahead and try out RTACabinetStore.com\u2019s free online kitchen design tool<\/a> now and start designing your new kitchen today!\u00a0 You can choose models and colors that match your idea, and see what they will look like!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If your kitchen is becoming boring, or needs to be refreshed, consider giving it a paint job to brighten it up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5601,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[114],"tags":[2224],"class_list":["post-2711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kitchen-cabinets","tag-inspiration"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2711"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2711\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6008,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2711\/revisions\/6008"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
