I want to point out this photo by Richard Perry of the New York Times. It’s from an article about the renovation on the top floor of a townhouse in Harlem. Don’t let it scare you that the renovation in the photo cost oodles of money (he renovated the whole flat, plus the outdoor area).
My point in showing you this photo is how exquisite white cabinets can look. Yet they can be the least expensive to buy. You can take ideas like this and use part of them in your renovation projects. What I like in the design below is the simplicity of it – it’s very elegant!
Even a person on a budget could pull off a simple, chic look. Take white… add one other color for the floor and backsplash (and possibly the countertop) – in the photo the other color is brown… and you have a timeless look. No matter how styles change, the kitchen in the photo below won’t look outdated.
