Beige Kitchen Ideas For Cabinets, Countertops And Backsplash
If white doesn’t suit your taste or aesthetic goals, beige is a great alternative for your kitchens. Both are very versatile and timeless, so they should work on any style and can look good with most of the available kitchen finishes. Beige kitchens look more inviting because of the warm tones in the color. The additional pigment also makes dirt less visible on its surface, so it’s also advantageous for ease of maintenance. Light browns also look good paired with wood as they enhance and complement the warm tones of the wood.
Beige Color Kitchen Designs
Since beige is a light, neutral color, it easily goes well with any color you pair it with, especially those with warmer undertones, such as browns/wood finishes and other earthy colors, so there are quite a lot of colors you can choose for your walls, floors, and kitchens.
White walls combined with beige kitchen cabinets typically look great, as it emphasize a subtle contrast between the two colors and, at the same time, keeps the ambiance bright. Shades of gray would also work well with these color cabinets, especially the warmer-toned grays, yielding a more contemporary look.
The array of possible beige ideas and color schemes you can create are endless – as beige is a neutral color, you will find it looks good with most colors, whether cool or warm!
An easy way to update the look of your classic style kitchens is by changing the color scheme into a more contemporary style. The easiest colors would be whites with beiges, as they instantly make the whole space brighter.
If you have existing cabinets you don’t want to re-finish, you try to add beige into other parts of the kitchen, such as the backsplash or the countertop. There are many natural stones and synthetic materials in this color you can choose from. Most popularly used in kitchens are marble, limestone, granite, quartz, and solid surface in light brown shades.
You can also explore adding a touch of beige to your flooring, like using this color for ceramic tiles, laminate or wood flooring. You can also experiment with finishes to add a variety of textures – perhaps try a glossy-beige laminate for your cabinets. Or a matte-beige countertop material? As beiges are versatile colors, the possibilities are endless!
Below are a few examples of kitchens with a beige color scheme you may take inspiration from:
Most modern houses have all-white walls and moldings like this. You might want to add a bit of variety by using light-beige laminated panels for your cabinets instead of white to add a bit of variety and give it a little contrast. A light, earthy color will help give warmth to the space while still keeping the kitchen looking bright and modern-looking.
Plain white glossy laminates would’ve stood out too much placed against these wood-paneled walls, but using a light warm-beige laminate could pull the light maple flooring and the walnut wall panels together by helping transition the two colors.
The white quartz countertop pops against the glossy-beige laminates of these cabinets! Many beige kitchen ideas match their interior color with the paint used on the rest of the house, creating a cohesive look throughout the open space plan.
This kitchen uses a bright white flooring material, and to tone it down, the walls were painted off-white, and the laminates used were yellow-beige to help add a bit of color to the space while keeping the neutral color scheme.
Warm-beige tones paired with black accents/hardware create a very elegant & chic contemporary look. This example uses beiges on both the cabinet/drawer faces, as well as the countertops and backsplash. It uses black edge bands for the laminated boards, as well as black hardware, to give a bold contrast that gives a unique, elegant vibe to the space.
This traditional-style design has gorgeous beige travertine flooring throughout the space, which adds a nice warm contrast to the all-white kitchen cabinets. The backsplash also uses the same material for a more coordinated combination of finishes. See more pictures of related antique white cabinets here.
