Cabinet Painting: What Colors Will Compliment My White Kitchen Appliances?

When it comes to kitchen design, one of the most prominent features is your cabinets. Most of us think about them in terms of storage optimization but given the amount of surface they take up in your kitchen, they’re a pretty integral part of your overall aesthetic. If you have white appliances scattered around your kitchen, though, it might be tricky to pick out a great color to paint your cabinets. Here are a few suggestions that you’re certain to ponder.  

Soft Gray

Soft gray is a timeless and trendy option that adds a touch of elegance to any space, but especially kitchens. Pairing your white appliances with gray cabinets can give your space a more expensive feel, but more importantly, the coolness of gray provides a harmonious contrast to white surfaces. Add in some gold hardware or accessories to truly elevate your space and tie everything together in a luxurious manner.

Light Natural Wood

Natural wood cabinets bring a certain sense of warmth to a kitchen with white appliances; since white can sometimes feel cold or stark, pairing them with warmer colors and hues is often a wise choice. It can also give your space an airy feel, as the wood tones provide a stunning amount of contrast to white appliances. If you prefer dark-colored wood tones, those can be just as effective; however, it’s best not to mix the two, so stick with one or the other to pair with your white.

Black

Another popular combination worth considering is black-and-white; this classic pairing might feel a little too dramatic for your kitchen, but if you’re strategic with your approach, you can ensure your kitchen doesn’t feel too overwhelmed with dark tones. Black countertops and cabinets channel elegance and opulence, and you’ll find that they can draw some of the attention away from the stark whiteness of your appliances. A black-and-white color scheme also gives you plenty of room to add other spots of color and décor.

White

An all-white kitchen is a timeless design, and it’s still very much in style these days and unlikely to fall out of favor anytime soon, making it an incredibly safe bet. This modern, clean color is a preferred choice by home buyers since they can use white with a variety of décor styles. White appliances paired with white cabinets make a kitchen feel established and balanced – and if you end up disliking this combination, it’s also conveniently one of the easiest colors to repaint!

Beige

Beige is among the simplest colors to keep clean, along with white; scuffs and stains show up fairly easily on these surfaces, which means that although you’ll need to stay on top of cleaning, it’s still easy to keep things looking fresh. Since beige is slightly warmer than white, it provides a very subtle contrast to pure white appliances, which is perfect for establishing a cozy, homey atmosphere.
