In the constantly changing world of kitchen design, the selection of a cabinet color can feel like a game with high use. While trends come and go, experts agree that the key to permanent cuisine is a color that is rooted in timeless design principles and not in fleeting fads.
Fortunately, we don't have to guess. The ultimate authority in home and design, Martha Stewart, shared her secret of a really timeless kitchen. In an exclusive interview with Houses & gardensShe revealed the kitchen cabinet color, which has looked brand new for two decades.
This simple but brilliant choice is proof that the inclusion of intelligent kitchen paint ideas is the best way to make your space future -proof.
She continued: 'The kitchen cabinets are made from gray frames, a beautiful Bedford Gray, as I call it. All buildings are painted gray in the same color, and the panels in the cupboards, flat cabins, which are a kind of tiger maple in the American Shaker style. And they look pretty in the gray cabinet. 'The relaxing beauty of the cupboards creates the perfect surroundings for cooking, conviviality, relaxation or in Martha's case and enjoys a glass of your favorite Reiner leaf -egg tea.

In addition to the color, Martha also recommends the selection of the no-foot kitchen cabinet hardware to achieve a really permanent look. She says: “I like small buttons that are efficient and pull out so that they don't catch anything on the cupboards. My drawers have small buttons on them. 'This preference for minimal hardware is completely resistant to fleeting trends and a hallmark of their classic style.
Their commitment to simplicity extends to the cabinet design itself. While many kitchen ideas contain decorative molded parts or increased panels, Martha is a fan of smooth, flush cupboards. “Everything is flush in my kitchen,” she said. This slim, clean approach is not just about aesthetics. It's about practicability. “If you have a switch from a counter,” she explains, “it won't go into the drawers and put it in all chic molded parts and things. It's elegant, but simple. '
This intelligent design philosophy is a strong memory of the fact that the most constant kitchen trends are those that mix the shape and function perfectly.
