Erin Napier centers kitchen remodels on selecting ideal cabinetry and designing complementary backsplashes. She commonly uses crown molding and paint to transform cabinets and alternates between light neutrals and bold hues like blue and teal. Napier personalizes designs by incorporating homeowners' heritage, favorite colors, and story elements into backsplash patterns and cabinet choices. She warns against choosing colors to follow trends or to appeal to future buyers, advocating for homeowners to design for their own preferences. Notable examples include blue-painted cabinets with a cherry-patterned backsplash and a white kitchen accented by a brown-glazed, hand-painted floral backsplash honoring Italian roots.
Erin's design philosophy is simple: Pick perfect cabinets, and create unique backsplashes to match. In terms of cabinetry, the ultimate style is dictated by the homeowner's tastes. Still, Erin definitely has a rotation of tried-and-tested favorites. She routinely incorporates crown molding - decorative trim that attaches cabinets to ceilings - and leans on paints for transformations. "What a difference a fresh coat of @ValsparPaint in Shell White makes for this kitchen," she captioned an Instagram post of a light-neutral kitchen.
Uniqueness takes many forms. Whether it's nodding to a homeowner's nationality or incorporating their favorite colors, Erin attempts to tell stories through backsplashes and cabinet colors. In fact, she emphasizes that following trends or catering to future owners is the most common kitchen color mistake during renos. Instead, homeowners should design their spaces the way they want. They're the ones living there, after all.
