Today, I’m excited to share this stunning kitchen by Clearcut and Co. featuring what I think is the perfect Benjamin Moore kitchen color combination. Featuring Benjamin Moore Steam AF-15 on the upper cabinets and Benjamin Moore Gray Owl OC-52 on the lower cabinets and island, this kitchen feels bright, warm, and timeless. Combined with natural wood beams, woven counter stools, brass accents, and expansive windows overlooking the trees, the result is a space that feels both elevated and welcoming.

Grab a snack and enjoy the tour!

 

Benjamin Moore Steam Upper Cabinets & Gray Owl Lower Cabinets and Island

Kitchen featuring Benjamin Moore Steam upper cabinets, Benjamin Moore Gray Owl lower cabinets, wood beams, woven stools, and a large island.

One of the most beautiful features of this kitchen is its two-toned cabinetry. Rather than using a single paint color throughout, the designers paired Benjamin Moore Steam AF-15 on the upper cabinets with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl OC-52 on the lower cabinets and island.

The combination creates subtle contrast while maintaining a soft and cohesive appearance. Steam keeps the kitchen feeling light and airy, while Gray Owl adds depth and grounding without feeling dark or heavy.

Together, these two Benjamin Moore favorites create a layered look that feels timeless rather than trendy.
