What backsplash looks best with brown cabinets?
Since brown cabinets are relatively darker, using lighter shades like white for the backsplash keeps the kitchen airy and bright. White subway tile, geometric pattern, quartz, marble, and glass sheet backsplashes build a timeless feel, packing the kitchen with stylish touches. If you want to create a modern look, geometric patterns like hexagons and Escher tiles, along with glass sheet backsplashes are the route to go. However, if you would like to create a gloomier atmosphere, you can go with a gray backsplash rather than white.

Art Deco Kitchen Design with Veneer Cabinets and Curved Island

The curved kitchen island has a peculiar shape, diverting from the straight and regular lines. Whatever is left on the countertops adds another decorative piece that is welcome in Art deco designs. But if you want to bring a more statement piece, you could replace the modest pendants with a chandelier and use a mirror backsplash instead of marble.
Should backsplash be lighter or darker than cabinets?
There is no such rule of thumb. But to create contrast, you can go both ways. For those wishing for a background that features depth, dark backsplashes go better with lighter cabinets.
When deciding, you can also take cues from the shade of the countertops. If you have dark countertops topping dark cabinets, it is better to choose a lighter backsplash for a sense of balance and not to overwhelm the space. However, if you have dark cabinets topped by lighter countertops, you can go with a darker backsplash for a striking contrast and tie the design with the cabinets.
Overall, it mainly depends on personal interest and taste. If your kitchen receives enough natural light and is vast enough or open plan, all-dark looks are also suitable and considerable for those who prefer dark kitchens.

How do you brighten up a kitchen with brown cabinets?
White backsplashes are one of the best ways to illuminate the kitchen. You can even take them up the ceiling or paint the walls white to make the space feel larger and brighten up the overall look. Secondly, instead of wall units, you can choose to go with floating shelves. This, in turn, helps keep the walls freer and more open. Or you can also use smaller wall units rather than going for ceiling-height ones. Thirdly, installing under-cabinet lighting such as LED strip lighting and spotlights not only brighten up a kitchen with brown cabinets but also provides task lighting to create a more efficient cook space.

On the other hand, dark brown shades create a sense of formality and drama which can be navigated and softened with lighter hues like white and light gray. Depending on the look you aim for and considering how much natural light your kitchen receives, you can make a decision accordingly. But even if your kitchen doesn’t receive enough natural lights but you strongly want dark brown cabinets, don’t despair. With a good lighting system and a white backsplash, you can compensate for the lack of sunlight.

This way, they gain a more modern momentum. As such, this recontextualization of the brown cabinets keeps them on trend.
Plus, we all know that particularly the light brown cabinets are favored in contemporary and Scandinavian kitchens. It is because they allow them to build visually lightweight looks and incorporate nature and organic textures in their way, which is especially significant for Scandinavian kitchens.
