Navy Cabinets & Wood Cabinets

For a warmer and more rustic look, we love dark blue kitchen cabinets with wood details. You can accent with a wood stove hood, wood cabinets on the bottom or a wood kitchen island. Any type of wood will do, but we especially love the look of maple, walnut or a lighter wood like hickory. This look is complemented best by a white marble-like countertop.

Nothing makes your navy blue cabinets sing like brass cabinet pulls, fixtures and lighting.

Navy And Black Kitchen

You wouldn’t think it would work, but you’d be wrong! For the modern home we love the look of navy blue cabinets and a black or charcoal countertop like marble. Admittedly, this look will only work if you have a lot of natural light and the rest of your home is very bright, but it’s a great style for the right home! You could also do black cabinet pulls with your navy cabinets for a more subtle look.

Complement your navy blue cabinets with a tile backsplash that features a fun pattern or color. For a traditional look you could go with Moroccan tiles, for a more modern look go for something geometric and angled.

Navy Blue Cabinets & Long Cabinet Pulls

For a sophisticated and clean kitchen, we love the look of long cabinet pulls on your navy kitchen cabinets. This works best for rooms with tall ceilings and cabinets that can go as close to the ceiling as possible. Bring the vertical lines into your oven hood and choose thin cabinets to complete the look.
