Brighten Up! How to Coordinate Your Kitchen with White Cabinets

Bright and optimistic, white cabinetry brings a sophisticated dimension to your new or remodeled kitchen project. Innovative designers love white in the kitchen as it allows dashes of creativity to take center stage. 

The pros of white cabinetry include creating a more open and expansive feel in even the smallest of spaces. Let's not forget about the streamlined and timeless look too - no matter your style or trend preferences. White cabinetry can be a cohesive, polished anchor in small to large kitchen spaces when paired with the ultimate countertop, backsplash and flooring. That beautiful Delft blue dishware collection can become the highlight of your home when surrounded by white hues. Plus, mirrored or glass-front cabinetry provides additional depth and reflection.

Of course, there are a few cons when it comes to a kitchen steeped in white to consider as well. For instance, a white-washed kitchen may come off as cold, harsh, or simply unwelcoming—which is an excellent reason to work with a certified kitchen design consultant!

Be sure to consider your lifestyle in the design process too. For instance, white cabinetry may not be the best choice for the accident-prone home cook. Ditto if a super low-maintenance kitchen is a top priority because over time, spills, drips or a random spritz of cola, tomato sauce or yellow mustard may stain or alter the color of white cabinetry.

However, there are plenty of reasons to explore whether white cabinetry might be a part of your future kitchen remodeling plans. Here, a few design details to consider from the design consultants at Kitchen Magic.

• Add a pop of color. Paint an accent wall, add accessories, lighting, hardware, or tableware in a similar palette. The sky’s the limit and easily change up the look in future years. 
• Pair warm wood or wood-grain flooring with your white cabinetry for a beautiful, comfortable feel. Or, go chic and sophisticated with a dark, dramatic flooring. Either add a warm texture.
