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.

Sleek modern glossy kitchen island

This very sleek modern kitchen island combines shiny granite counter, stainless steel faucet and undermount sink, stainless steel pendant lights, with a pro-style range and hood in the background.

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.

Gloss White Subway Tile Backsplash

Even with the dark wood cabinets, the light counter top and glossy white subway tile backsplash make this kitchen feel bright and open.
