Dark wood cabinets and light sand tones glass tile backsplash

Dark wood cabinet doors contrast with a very glossy light-colored glass tile backsplash that extends all the way up to the ceiling behind the chimney-style range hood.

Black Glass Cabinet Doors with Mosaic Tile Kitchen

The unusual feature of this kitchen is the black glass doors on the wall cabinets. These are combined with white base cabinets (an unusual combo, as most people using two cabinet colors put the darker color on the base and lighter color on the uppers), white and black appliances, and a delicious glass mosaic backsplash of white with multicolored single tiles scattered across the field.

Compact single wall kitchen with green tile backsplash

This very simple and compact single-wall kitchen uses soothing neutrals (including the green backsplash) to expand the feeling of space. Features light wood cabinets, green tile backsplash, black and stainless steel appliances, white sink, and a rather odd shaped stainless steel range hood.

Flip-up IKEA Wall Cabinets, Brown Tile Backsplash

The thing I like most here is the open counter workspace between sink and cooktop, perfect for prepping fresh food and taking it straight to the pan. Not so keen on the brown tile backsplash.

The wall cabinets open upwards instead of outwards like regular cabinet doors, which has its pros and cons. The upper cabinets look more useful to tall people than short ones! The best kitchen cabinets fit your size as well as looking good.

Bright Red Glossy Cabinets

The thing that saves this design from being dark is the lighting. Shades of grey in the glass tile backsplash, grey counter, and dark red (but super shiny!) cabinet doors are all on the dark side, but bright under-cabinet lighting plus lighting in the translucent-door wall cabinets brighten everything up.
