If you’re looking at your dark cherry cabinets, flooring, or trim, and want to update it without breaking the bank, here’s a bit of inspiration to update your space while balancing your budget.


One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to update your dark cherry is by using paint. To seamlessly blend your dark cherry with a more fresh look, consider the following color choices:


Benjamin Moore Pale Oak: This soft, feminine greige pairs well with the depth of dark cherry, complimenting the plum undertones of this rich wood, while providing needed contrast.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace: A crisp, clean white paint color that provides a sophisticated and bright finish will bring an elegant timelessness to your spaces with dark cherry.


Benjamin Moore Newburg Green: Accessorizing the space with pops of a deep, muted teal like Benjamin Moore’s Newburg Green is an elevated way to update a room with dark cherry finishes.


Now that you've selected your paint colors, let's dive into some design inspiration to tie your space together:



Modern fixtures in cool satin nickel tones play well with plum cherry wood, and the clean lines and minimalist look will make the space instantly feel updated.

Bright green plants and decor will add vibrancy, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere that enlivens the richness of the plum cherry wood.

Deep teal accents in classic modern shapes will carry the Newburg Green throughout the space, creative a cohesive style throughout.


Pops of bright colors like berry and chartreuse a touch of whimsy, injecting energy and playfulness that contrasts beautifully with the sophisticated backdrop of the deep wood tones.



With thoughtful design selections, you can easily and affordably transform your dark cherry spaces, elevating them from dated to chic. Happy updating!
