A new trend in kitchen design for this year is combining two different cabinet styles to create a custom kitchen. If you are accustomed to the traditional uniform look in a kitchen, than this may be a new concept to you. There are a wide range of looks you can create by combining different cabinet styles, so I have pointed out a couple of the most common reasons below.

Giving your kitchen a vintage, furniture look - when trying to create a vintage look in any room of your home, it is often common to mix antiques and new pieces to give the impression that items were accummulated over time. The same look can be achieved in the kitchen by using different style cabinets. A really good way to use two different styles is to use one color for the island and another for the cabinets. You can also use one color for the wall cabinets and one for the base cabinets. By simply choosing a two different style cabinets and adding some custom accessories, you can create the illusion that your kitchen was assembled over time

Creating specific work spaces- Using two different cabinet styles in your kitchen is also a great way to create separate work areas in your kitchen. By simply designing a desk area out of a different style cabinet, you can create a defined space within your kitchen.

Adding a focal point to your kitchen - by using a different style cabinet on a specific wall, or over the cooktop, you can add a splash of color and create a focal point for the room. This is a great way to add some personality to your kitchen, and can be a great way to experiment with a color that may be too bold for the entire room.

The most common combination when using two different cabinet styles is picking a neutral cream color painted kitchen cabinet and a darker stained wood cabinet. Don't be afraid to experiment with two different shades of stain on the same style cabinet. Good luck with your kitchen remodel.
