Advice for cabinet refacing with white appliances

11 years ago

I'd appreciate any advice on my kitchen project. We are going to reface our kitchen cabinets, but I'm having trouble deciding what color range to go with. The appliances are white and are staying. The floor is staying along with the wooden blinds. I was thinking off-white cabinets but am afraid it would look funny with white appliances. The only new appliance we're purchasing is the dishwasher. Most idea pictures have stainless appliances and we just can't justify switching ours. We are replacing the counters with quartz counters. I've attached a photo of the three we've narrowed it down to. On the left is Silestone Ivory Coast. The middle is Cambria Berkeley (least favorite of the three), On the right is Silestone Tigris. Thank you so much!

If you go with the sample on the far left hand side, you could pull the light olive or grayish green from it for your cabinets.

I like the center one. You could use almost any color with it. Your keeping white appliances I lean toward white cabinets and paint your island or leave it wooden, with the butcher top. Paint the walls and add a fabric valance over the window.

White appliances look great with either natural wood or strong colors. I wouldn't do off-white because it doesn't match but is too subtle a contrast. I like your current counters better than any of the new options. Have you considered a white quartz?

The current counters photographed better than they actually look. They're a cheap laminate with little splotches of pink in them and the left-side counters don't match the right side. The previous owner didn't believe in using cutting boards so they're damaged too. I have considered white quartz. I found one I liked that has a little bit of a sparkle fleck in it. Don't know if I can talk the hubby into sparkly flecks, though. LOL I never thought of natural wood but that is definitely something to think about. In my mind it looks beautiful!
