01

Balance navy with oak

This example keeps the deeper navy on the upper cabinets and lets the oak grain ground the lower run. That order keeps the darker colour at eye level without closing in the worktop. Try the reverse split in the editor if your room gets little daylight, and compare both from the doorway before deciding.

02

Coordinate the counter and backsplash

The starting palette pairs this combination with a stone worktop and backsplash, so the join between navy and oak stays quiet. A tile backsplash adds rhythm instead; compare its undertone against the oak grain rather than against the screen colour, and check the change beside the tall units in the elevation.

03

Compare samples outside the screen

The editor shows illustrative colour and grain: oak varies between boards, and navy fronts can read warmer or cooler beside your floor and daylight. Bring physical samples together in the actual room before choosing a supplier finish, and use the exported material board to communicate the direction rather than as a colour guarantee.

Questions before you start

Can I use navy on every cabinet?

Yes. Apply the finish to the whole kitchen, or select one cabinet and change only that front. The layout and dimensions stay the same.

Is the oak shown a specific supplier product?

No. It is an illustrative finish. Record the chosen manufacturer and product details separately when you specify the real kitchen.

The front elevation

Review the main wall’s cabinet heights, appliance spaces and finish balance. Other walls are available in the editor.
