8. Glossy Green Cabinets with Warm Ash Wood
Glossy finishes reflect light and add a “glam” factor to dark colors. Pairing high-gloss dark green cabinets with the pale, linear grain of ash wood creates a sharp, high-contrast look that is very popular in contemporary urban apartments.
How to Make
Go for a high-gloss, deep-sea green for your cabinets. Use ash wood—which is very pale and almost blonde—for your floating shelves and a small breakfast bar. The gloss of the green will look like liquid, while the ash wood provides a clean, matte counterpoint.
Things Needed
- High-gloss deep-sea green paint
- Ash wood floating shelves
- White or light-grey countertops
- Minimalist chrome faucets
- Soft, warm LED lighting
