White Cabinets: Timeless, Classy and a Crowd Favorite

While kitchen design styles and trends come and go with the seasons, there is one look that has been a crowd pleaser since the mid 1900s: beautiful white wood kitchen cabinets. Depending on other kitchen décor, wood cabinets can often date a room if they are not paired with a modern counter top, backsplash or kitchen accessories. However, white cabinets offer flexibility, ultimately leaving a blank slate for design, which makes them one of the most popular choices for our clients at Kitchen Kraft.

Another benefit of white cabinets is that they can work with a variety of design styles. From country chic to modern, contemporary or old world traditional, white cabinets allow the opportunity for personal touches and nearly endless design and accenting options.

A kitchen with white cabinets is one of the selling points of a home. White cabinets offer a higher resale value as they can be easily painted to match a desired style, or the entire feel of the kitchen can be altered without even touching the cabinets.

Here are five ways to personalize a kitchen to accentuate white cabinetry.

The Classic Look

White on white is the most classic kitchen design style. The white floors, counter tops, range hood and cabinets present a timeless, simple and elegant approach to décor. There’s no going wrong with this design style.

Bold Flooring

Adding a dark wood floor provides a beautiful contrast to the cabinets and really makes them pop. With this look, it is easy to accessorize with accent colors in kitchen appliances or lighting. The “S” shaped light fixture and white granite counter tops provide a modern and classy style straight from the magazines!

Bold Walls

Adding a statement paint color to walls is the perfect way to accentuate and highlight white cabinets. Also providing a beautiful contrast, choosing a color that is not a neutral or earth tone allows for individual style to be incorporated into the kitchen décor.

Contrasting Granite

Pairing granite with white woodwork is another classic kitchen element. Choose a different color of granite for a kitchen island to mix different styles. In this photo, the cabinets and backsplash are modern but adding the green granite presents a more traditional feel.

Mix and Match

Can’t decide which style to go for in a new kitchen remodel? Why not use a mixture! Combining both white and natural wood cabinets in the kitchen is quite the statement in a home. This combination of woodwork allows personal style to do all of the talking. Adding a traditional chandelier or a bright paint color would work in this kitchen. The options are nearly endless!
