Stop! Before You Choose Navy Blue Kitchen Cabinets, Watch This

[@coastaldiva]

Navy blue is classic!

[@mistydevillier2197]

Oui, will never go out of style.

[@r-e_mii]

Can't deny that hale navy (BM), polo blue (I forget) & nightclub (Behr) are beautiful blues among the many more. Classics like those colors stand the test of time.

[@cinnamonstar808]

no mention of benjamin moore - old navy. ....the 'mothership' of navies Interesting. Old Navy vs Hale Navy is a battle for most people

[@squalloogal]

Jewel tones have always appealed to me. 😊

[@happytx1860]

Yes, I love navy blue cabinets. Next year I will have navy blue lower cabinets with lighter upper cabinets. Thanks

[@RosemaryAmey]

I once had a part time job cleaning a kitchen that had deep jade green cabinets, super high gloss, and no visible hardware. The cabinet doors were push-to-open. This was an unfortunate combination of colour, finish, and hardware, because it was impossible to open the cabinets without leaving very visible fingerprints on the glossy finish.

[@avondalemama470]

Definitely mid century vibes going on with the green and red kitchen

[@angelathiel8856]

There was a day high gloss was always used on doors and trim in higher end homes( yep showing my age, lol). By far, the best gloss I've used recently is Farrow & Balls - it's water-based and levels beautifully. im glad to see Gloss returning

[@ChaiLatte13]

I like the blue variety kitchen cabinets. Wow very interesting to see so much high gloss. I've never been able to make a high gloss paint look good. I have no clue what I'm doing. haha

[@Myfabulousfood]

I love the blues!

[@devdawg22]

We are doing navy, either hale navy or maybe even a cyberspace with champagne bronze hardwear.

[@coastaldiva]

I like the inchyra blue (sp)

[@williamdunn1000]

Thanks for the video. Does anyone have any thoughts one what accents and handles are best for navy blue cabinets? I thought brass/gold, but then I heard from someone it can look gaudy and that you can never lose with stainless steel?

[@ChiChick312]

Gold would be beautiful

[@mousiebrown1747]

Weighty colors go on the bottom; lighter ones on top.

[@joelle524]

What do you suggest to paint oak kitchen cabinets? Someone told me to use Stix primer and I would not have to sand the cabinets….. any advice

[@clarify81]

Can you please tell me what color is the kitchen at 9:47

[@lesliegordon2809]

Jewel tones are fun but I lean towards classics. Trends are trends for a reason. Maybe I’m boring but I don’t want to repaint every few years. Loved a previous video you made about ways to update your kitchen without completely repainting. IMO, outer space for the win😊

[@jeffbiddle1956]

Sweetie, no one is repainting every few years. I picked navy cabinets before this trend started and they’ll be navy after the trend is over. Just do what makes YOU happy and if it’s trending, hooray.

[@tarunnekkanti7439]

White is so bland, so refreshing to see some colors in the kitchen

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Well, as these are supposedly indicative of social moods, THIS is interesting! Somehow, I don't think maximal colour like this is "carnage". More like JOIE DE VIVRE. Hooray!

[@jstokes]

Notice that the kitchen by Manolo Langis has no upper cabinets. There is a shelf there above the highly figured marble backsplash, and White Arrow also has no upper cabinets. In this type of configuration there is usually a wall opposite that we cannot see in these mages that is completely fitted with cabinets like a pantry closet. And/or an additional butlers pantry room where there is storage. The benefits of no upper cabinets is visually the kitchen seems more like a living space, and in other designers work especially in the UK you now see artwork incorporated in the kitchen. To make the shelving work is to have things on the shelves that you use every day -otherwise if its just decorative accessories those will get dusty over time. Other trends in kitchens not shown here are dark yellow kitchens (India Yellow, Farrow and Ball), dusty warm beige cabinets (Cord, farrow and ball) dusty pink cabinets (setting plaster Farrow and Ball, sulking pink ) and green cabinets (bancha Farrow and Ball) and dusty Blue cabinets (Yarbridge Blue Benjamin Moore)

[@juliastockhausen7173]

Im surprised the editors of the magazine would choose to show us so many images that to me are similiar. Is that all they could find??

[@taunyawren8020]

Yes! Love it!

[@Dev_KG]

Well… not sure what you mean by “affiliated with Architectural Digest.” Summer Thornton has been published in AD, I can’t remember if Jenna Chused or Michael Aiduss have. Haven’t heard of the others. Yes the black frames in the kitchen by Summer Thornton are glass and how she divided the kitchen from the living area. I totally agree that there’s way too much blue currently and will probably be the harvest gold or avocado green of our time eventually. The first time I saw a lacquered blue butler’s pantry, it was lovely. The 25th, not so much. I saw a high-gloss blue in a regional Luxe mag this weekend that wasn’t properly prepared, and was just a mess of bad brushwork and wood grain. My understanding is bc of the labor for all the sanding in between coats, it’s a very expensive finish to do correctly. I think they call it Level Five, but maybe you could share what that means?

[@Dev_KG]

PS yes it’s Dana I’m not sure why YT now shows me by one of my IG handles that I don’t use much. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@mousiebrown1747]

Has anyone done pink/alabaster cabinets? Black appliances, red accents, yellow tan-ish walls. I’m hoping to do cabinets in a complimentary pinkish color?????

[@Chinanieves]

What did you end up doing

[@coastaldiva]

So far i like the first kitchen a lot

[@cvonsutphen]

*Not a Fan of High Gloss* . There is nothing about a high gloss finish that appeals to me for my home. I can appreciate it in a different aesthetic.

[@ASTRO-R3]

Orange cabinets? Green blue cabinets ?Ya that will date well. Remember the 90s peach and sea green colours with brass gold hardware ? Yuck

[@r-e_mii]

That's the thing, people either have the money to have a company come in to repaint maybe even order new cabinets or they do it themselves. Just seems wasteful to use colors like this but to each their own

[@CloudslnMyCoffee]

Gold is in and has been for a few years. It isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. You are undermining your credibility with your attitude ngl

[@coastaldiva]

Not really liking the higher gloss

[@jeffbiddle1956]

Really? I love it

[@coastaldiva]

@@jeffbiddle1956 its just so reflective and looks too glam. No really my style

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Long "A" - d-uh-ss A - duss (silent "i") Or Aye - d - uh - ss James -- The Prospect Refuge Studio Kitchen, (w the Arsenic-y green + blood red) -- NOT 70's. 1950's-reminiscent You're young; you rely on old photos -- I'm not; so, actually lived it / full color, 3D memories.

[@jlaurelle]

Project Refuge: NO!

[@shayxtreme]

Brass not Gold hardware is the difference between elegant and gross. And definitely not high gloss cabinets

[@coastaldiva]

No to burgundy

[@jeffbiddle1956]

Yes to burgundy, especially high gloss

[@blissdharma980]

The one photo by Wing Ho…of that Prospect Refuge Studio…that kitchen look and design of theirs? That looks like somebody threw watermelons all over the kitchen. That’s what that looks like to me. Yikes!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Not navy at all. More like lapis luzuli.

[@Red-jl5dq]

I am sorry who is this guy ,, that’s wasting his time ,, because I don’t think he knows what the hell is talking about .
