Tips for Designing and Selecting Blue and White Kitchen Cabinets
- Size of your kitchen matters – if you have a very small kitchen, you might want to use only a few cabinets in navy blue so you don’t make it optically look much smaller than it really is
- White top blue bottom – this is the most popular and practical option for designing your kitchen cabinets, for many reasons. For example, if white kitchen cabinets would b eat the bottom, they are more likely to get stained and dirty, and having them on top would make the kitchen look very ‘top heavy’ and not aesthetically pleasing.
- There are of course exceptions to the above rule, which have been illustrated in some o the examples we have shared below
- Keep light in mind when adding color to your kitchen – as the light hits your navy blue cabinets, it can completely transform the way the whole room feels. Make sure you check the color samples in bright natural light before committing to a shade you like.

Floor Tips for Navy Blue & White Kitchen Cabinets
Depending on what cabinet color you picked for your bottom cabinets, here are a few flooring options that go well with either of the options:
- bottom navy blue kitchen cabinets – this color really pops against the dark natural wood floor, honey-colored wood floor or even floor with tiles. When picking tiles, opt for simple tones of white or black, but some tones of grey will also work
- bottom white kitchen cabinets – with this kitchen design you have many more options to choose from, but you should steer clear from flooring that would create too much contrast with the white kitchen cabinets, like black tile.
Handles & Accessories for Navy Blue & White Kitchen Cabinets
Navy blue is a really easy color to choose your handles and accessories. Some of the most popular color choices include gold, rusty gold, black and even white.
If you’re looking for a timeless and elegant look, gold is the finishing touch to choose for your cabinets. For those who want to have a bit more edgy and modern look, you can get sleek elegant black knobs or handles for your cabinets.
Backsplash for Navy Blue & White Kitchen Cabinets
Using two tones for kitchen cabinets can create a bit of a dilemma in terms of what backsplash should you use for your kitchen.
If you can’t decide on what to choose, it’s good to remember to keep things simple and practical, here are a few tips:
- white is an easy choice for this type of kitchen design as it blends beautifully with the two colors
- when choosing a tile, keep the design simple so it doesn’t look like too much distraction in the kitchen
- even as something simple as a white tile has so many different designs and shapes you can use, so you have plenty of ways to make your kitchen more special and personal, while sticking to a timeless and elegant color
- practicality above everything else – you need to make sure that the backsplash is easy to clean, not prone to cracks or any other damage that might occur with frequent use
- if you want to make a statement with your backsplash, you can match some of the design elements with the accessories in the kitchen, for example, incorporating gold color in the tiles for the backsplash and matching them with the gold handles on your kitchen cabinets
