Popular Paint and Stain Cabinet Combinations

While a single color kitchen remains a classic look, we’re seeing a large number of kitchens built with more than one paint or stain color.

Some of Burrows Cabinets’ most popular cabinet combinations right now include our warm white Marcona or Bone paints on perimeter cabinets and a complimentary stained wood or EVRGRN engineered wood on the island.

We’re also seeing more pairings of painted uppers and stained base cabinets, or painted base and stained uppers. Typically the darker color is used on the base to ground the space and a lighter color is used on the upper cabinets.

Marcona, our lightest creamy warm white, and Bone white which is slightly warmer than Marcona, are great neutrals that pair well with most of our stain and paint colors. Extra White, our pure, bright White paint color is another popular upper color, paired with darker paint or stained base cabinets.

Below are a few cabinet door examples to show you how Bone and Marcona look with complimentary paint and stain colors:
