The Edit | Dark Cabinetry

As with all design elements, the placement of dark cabinetry will influence the overall look and feel of your space. When used as an accent feature, such as a kitchen island or a freestanding floor-to-ceiling cabinet, it naturally draws the eye, and in rooms where a darker palette leads the design, painting cabinetry to match the walls can create a coveted colour-drenched appeal.

From the kitchen to the bathroom, explore our edit of luxurious dark cabinetry designs.
