Create a Warm and Inviting Kitchen with Oak Cabinetry

Welcome back to Wayside Kitchens! Today, we have an exciting video for you on how to pair countertops, tiles, paint, fabric, and other woods with oak to create a beautiful impact in your kitchen. Mary Regan kitchen designer ‪@waysidekitchens‬ gives us a few tips to pair oak to create a beautiful kitchen.
Before I get started I want to make clear that we aren’t advocating for homeowners to keep their old oak kitchen cabinets with poor quality and outdated door styles. I am talking about creating new kitchens and discovering what’s possible with oak. When it comes to pairing paint colors with oak cabinets, there are a few key principles to keep in mind. First, consider the undertones of your wood. Oak typically has warm undertones, so complementing it with colors that have warm undertones, such as creamy whites, soft yellows, or earthy tones, can create a harmonious and inviting look. For example, a soft buttery yellow or a warm taupe can bring out the natural warmth of oak and create a cozy ambiance in your kitchen. Choosing the right fabrics for your kitchen can add texture, color, and personality to the space.
When considering fabric options to pair with oak, look for patterns and colors that complement the warmth and grain of the wood. You can opt for fabrics with earthy or warm tones, like rich burgundy, deep green, or warm beige. And don't be afraid to mix and match patterns and textures to add visual interest and depth.
Tiles can be a fantastic way to introduce pops of color and visual interest to your kitchen. When selecting tiles to pair with oak, try to choose colors that complement the wood's warm undertones. Consider using a vibrant backsplash or a patterned floor tile to create a stunning focal point that contrasts beautifully with the oak cabinetry. This combination will make your kitchen truly unique.
Lastly, let's talk about pairing oak with other wood elements in your kitchen. Mixing wood finishes can add depth and character to the space. When incorporating other wood accents, such as flooring or countertops, consider selecting woods with similar undertones to the oak. For instance, pairing oak cabinets with warm-toned woods like walnut or cherry can create a cohesive and luxurious look. Just be mindful of balancing the different wood finishes to create a harmonious visual flow.
And there you have it - our tips and ideas for pairing paint, fabric, tiles, and other woods with oak to make a beautiful impact in your kitchen. Remember, it's all about finding colors and materials that complement the warmth and character of your oak cabinetry. Get creative, have fun, and watch your kitchen transform into a space that truly reflects your personal style. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time!
