Thoughtful use of color in your kitchen design is an impactful tool.  Used in combination with a neutral and balanced color palate, the right pop of color can create a stunning focal point or enhance visual interest, without overwhelming the space or creating an environment that you will quickly tire of.   Wondering how to tastefully incorporate color in your kitchen design?  From cabinets to sinks, we’ve highlighted Sawhill projects that demonstrate how to use color for impact.

Kitchen Island

Want to create a focal point that draws people into your kitchen space.  Nothing creates visual interest like a kitchen island finish that stands out from the rest of the room.  Whether you are daring enough to go with bold color like the red or teal pictured, or prefer a subtler distinction like black against white, the use of color will transform your kitchen island into a focal show-stopper.

Cabinet Finish

Step out of the traditional wood, white or black for your cabinet finish and you won’t be disappointed.  Scared to make the commitment?  Choosing a color finish for just your upper or lower cabinets can be an interesting compromise.

Want a concentrated splash of color?  Consider singling out the sink for a vibrant pop.  This is a great option that allows you to minimize your commitment to color while still creating focal interest.
