One of the main questions asked during the design meeting is what color the owners want 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 mixing and matching. It is a great way to break up the area and create a focal point, but with so many options available, how 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 these popular colors 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. 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 complements any style, whether 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

There are many shades of gray that range from cool to warm. It remains a popular color due to the elegance and relaxing atmosphere it provides. Since it is calmer than white but still brighter than some wood tones, it is a happy medium for kitchen cabinets. This color also works well with certain combinations, such as wood and white, making it a great choice for two-toned kitchens. Gray also carries with it a feeling of a more high-end cabinet color and gives the space a more luxurious aura. It is a great option for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and the home office. It invokes a sense of calm and warmth, both of which are great for places where we spend extended periods, such as the kitchen and office. Remember that there are multiple shades of gray, so be sure to ask for a sample before finalizing the color.

Blue Kitchen Cabinets

From dark to extremely light, this color can add a hint of fun or sophistication to your space. It is a color of many tints and hues and can accomplish a multitude of design purposes. Blue, of course, is often associated with a relaxed vibe, making it a great choice for bathrooms and kitchens. The dark navy is a great contrast to the white and makes a bold statement in the kitchen, while the soft tones of sea blue make the bathrooms all the more inviting. It is also a versatile color that complements wood flooring or tile, not to mention stainless steel appliances that work well with this color palette. It also showcases a variety of design styles, so it can be used in a French kitchen or sleek modern style. So, if you are looking for a relaxed feel with a stylish look, blue is a great choice for kitchen cabinets. Look at this beautiful two-toned kitchen in an inviting mountain-style home.

Is It For You?

Just because these are the most popular choices, it does not mean you must choose one of them. If you are, however, looking for a tried and true kitchen cabinet color, these are great options for you. Each goes with multiple styles and gives your home a sense of warmth and an inviting atmosphere. See all of the options we offer in our showroom or ask for a specific sample when meeting with your designer. Color on cabinets is a great choice.
