3 Popular Colors for Kitchen Cabinets

One of the main questions asked when moving through the design meeting is what color the owners are wanting for their kitchen cabinets. Were they looking to do a natural wood or a color instead? While many will opt to do the wood many enjoy adding a splash of color to their kitchen or mix and match. It is a great way to break up the area and create a focal point, but with so many options available how to do you know which one is right for you? While it is up to you in the end, there are three colors that have stood out for some time and will most likely continue to do so. White, gray, and blue remain high on the selection chart so let’s talk about them and why they may be the right fit for you.

White Kitchen Cabinets

This is a true minimalist color and one that will go with any color combination or highlight. It also adds extra light to a space especially when natural light is allowed inside. It can also make the space feel larger as well. White can immediately brighten up a space and is a great choice when you have an area that has few windows. It is also a color that goes with any style whether it is farmhouse or contemporary since it is timeless and elegant. It is a versatile color that can easily be decorated with simplicity or ornately depending on the owner’s tastes. It is also the perfect color to create a beautiful contrast with, such as dark countertops or backsplash. There are a couple of cons when it comes to having all white cabinets with the first being a little harder to keep clean and left without a few accents it can look too crisp and cold. When done right, white is a great color of choice for kitchen cabinets and will be sure to last the test of time.

Gray Kitchen Cabinets
