I want to paint my cabinets to update my kitchen but stuck on what to do with this panel.
I am looking to paint the bottom cabinets a sage or blue (undecided yet) with cream upper cabinets. But what do I do about the cabinetry my oven is in? There is no natural break between the upper and lower cabinets.
Does anyone have two tone cabinets that have addressed this problem?

Add some trim wherever you would like the break to be and you won’t have a paint seam- just paint the trim whichever color you would like it.
The tower usually matches the lowers, but I’ve had clients prefer to match the uppers when the lowers were a particularly dark color. That can help keep the kitchen from feeling too heavy and oppressive, especially if it’s a smaller space.
I personally would not do that. Two tone with those colors sounds way too busy. You have a metal or stainless oven, white color, blue colored cabinet. Throw some red in there and it will look like a flag.
I’m not really fond of the two tone trend because it can reduce a sense of cohesiveness, especially in smaller kitchens. That said I would paint the cabinet with the oven the stronger color for balance.
