Add Depth & Style To Your Kitchen Without The Cost Of A Remodel
Thinking of updating your kitchen without a full renovation? Two-tone cabinet painting is one of the most stylish and cost-effective ways to add depth, contrast, and personality to your space. Whether you live in Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, or in-town Atlanta, Kimberly Painting brings professional craftsmanship and attention to detail to every two-tone cabinet painting project.
Let’s explore what two-tone cabinets are, the benefits of this design trend, and how we help Metro Atlanta homeowners bring this modern, elegant look to life.
What Is Two-Tone Cabinet Painting?
Two-tone cabinet painting is a design approach in which the upper and lower cabinets, or the island and perimeter cabinetry, are painted in different colors to create a visually dynamic contrast. Some examples include:
- Upper cabinets in a crisp white, and lower cabinets in navy blue
- A light gray island paired with warm wood-toned wall cabinets
- Neutral beige uppers with dramatic black lowers
This trend works beautifully in both modern and traditional kitchens and can be customized to match your unique style.

Kimberly Painting repainted my entire house last year, inside and outside. They gave me a competitive quote, showed up when scheduled, cleaned up each day and did a nice quality job. Highly recommend them.Posted on Google

Susan Jones6 March 2026My parents used this company 20 years ago and loved them. They did such great work back then- they remembered them for when we needed them again, 20 years later. I wanted the house the exact same color. They matched it perfectly. Every detailed note taken at the consultation came to fruition at the end of the project. I could not have been happier at the end result. My mommas house looked brand new!!!! I will always use this company for my paint needs!!!!Posted on Google

Mary Hannah Bowers20 January 2026I had a wonderful experience with Kimberly Painting and highly recommend them. We hired their team to paint the entire interior of our new home, which was previously all the same shade of brown. They executed my vision beautifully and even installed stunning wood paneling in my home office. The attention to detail was exceptional, and the entire project was completed smoothly from start to finish. Mark Sharpe and Alejandra were incredible to work with. They were professional, responsive, and a true pleasure throughout the process. After receiving quotes from four different companies, I’m so thankful we chose Kimberly Painting. They truly exceeded our expectations.Posted on Google
T S11 January 2026I was so happy to find Mark and his company, Kimberly Painting! We were on a tight schedule to paint our interior space before moving in, and Mark worked to accommodate my timeline. The lead painter, Jeffrey, and his crew were fantastic to work with. They helped me match paint colors and finishes, did excellent prep work, and delivered beautiful results. They were extremely careful and did not get any paint on our refinished wood floors. The space was left completely transformed and spotless. Thank you, Mark, Jeffrey, and the entire crew—your work is highly recommended and truly appreciated!Posted on Google
Greg T7 January 2026Mark and his crew were extremely professional and very easy to work with. When I received the estimate Mark went into deep detail about the project. The job was very reasonably priced for the quality of the crew and the service. Would definitely do business again.Posted on Google
Becky wakim25 November 2025Mark was super easy to work with and his crew did a great job of painting the exterior of our house. I would use them again for any painting job!Posted on Google
Wayne Sheets3 November 2025Their team did an amazing job limewashing our brick home. Very happy with the results.Posted on Google
Jen H130030 October 2025Wonderful experience for both exterior and interior paint jobs! I was feeling disheartened because the first painter I received a quote from completely ghosted me but I do believe everything happens for a reason and this experience is yet another example. Mark came to my home for my quote and actually walked both the exterior and interior to point out things that I hadn’t even noticed. We did the exterior first and Jeffry and his assistant were fantastic - they worked hard to address every little touch up request that I made. The interior job was something that I was feeling overwhelmed by initially since I wasn’t sure how it would work with the painting happening while I was still living in my home. My concerns were unfounded as Alejandra and her team were truly amazing. They went above and beyond to move everything carefully out of the way and then put it all back in place - even helping me to rearrange my living room furniture for a new look! Oscar even fixed a broken drawer as part of having my cabinets painted! They were careful with my kitties who were hiding sometimes so they made sure to keep the doors closed when they were MIA. They cleaned up every night so I could sleep in my own bed and I was able to work from home without any interruptions. My home looks better than I could have ever imagined and they were truly a joy to have working there each day. If you have been putting off having your home painted, seriously look no further. Kimberly Painting is the best!Posted on Google
Joe Connolly12 October 2025It’s a crowded space out there and tough to know who to trust, but we relied on the great reviews for Kimberly Painting — and they lived up to them. Ours is an older house that needed a little extra attention, and their team handled it with real care, making quality repairs where needed and delivering a beautiful result. They use their own employees (not subs), communicate well, and do exactly what they promise.Posted on Google
Sandra Draper6 August 2025Kimberly painting and crew did such a great job! They were very professional, nice, timely and took all stuff from walls and put all my back in place! Paint quality is 100/100. Will definitely be using again!Posted on Google
J. C.4 August 2025We used Kimberly Painting to make a number of repairs to our soffit and facia around our house, as well as repair some rotted window molding and sash molding. Some of the damage was very high and difficult to reach. I had also had 4 other contractors come out and look at the work. None were as attentive to the issues as Kimberly Painting. Their team pointed out things that I hadn't even noticed, so I though their quote would be much higher than the others, but it was right in the middle. They kept me informed about how my project would be scheduled, even thought they were challenged with constant rain this spring/summer. The work was done in the time committed and the results were better than I expected. I would recomend them to anyone.Posted on Google
MG9 July 2025Highly recommend Kimberly Painting for all your interior, exterior, and specialty painting needs. Mark and his talented team worked closely with us to put together a custom scope of work that met all our needs, and executed the project professionally and flawlessly from to start to finish. We were absollutely thrilled with the results and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again on future projects.
Why Atlanta Homeowners Love Two-Toned Cabinets
Homeowners across Metro Atlanta are choosing two-tone cabinet painting for a good reason. Here’s why it’s becoming a go-to design feature:
1. Adds Visual Interest and Depth
A single-color kitchen can sometimes fall flat. Two-tone cabinets introduce contrast and create focal points in your kitchen, especially when paired with complementary backsplashes, countertops, and flooring.
2. Customizes Your Space Without Full Renovation
If your cabinet boxes are in good shape, painting them is significantly more cost-effective than replacing them. With the right colors and quality paints, you can transform your kitchen for a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry.
3. Helps Define Zones in an Open Floor Plan
Homes in Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, and surrounding Atlanta suburbs often have open kitchen-dining-living layouts. Two-tone cabinetry helps visually define different areas, adding balance and cohesion.
4. Modern Yet Timeless Appeal
Done right, two-tone cabinets never go out of style. The key is choosing classic colors or subtle contrasts that feel fresh today but will still look great 10 years from now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Islands are perfect places to introduce a bold accent or complementary shade.
Not at all. Two-tone cabinets are currently one of the top kitchen trends, and when executed professionally, they age gracefully.
Not necessarily. Subtle contrasts like white uppers with light gray lowers can still deliver a designer feel.
This depends on your goals:
- If you want your kitchen to feel open and airy, go lighter on the cabinets and choose wall colors that blend in.
- For a cozy, dramatic effect, darker lower cabinets paired with light upper cabinets and soft neutral walls strike the right balance.
