Cabinets Wrong Color

Brittney Traynor Volker

11 years ago

I wanted white cabinets and instead recieved a creamy yellow. We have to make it work, but ideally they would look more white after the other design elements are in place.

Suggestions on paint color, back splash, or other ways I can keep the yellow down?

your counters are stunning - are they reclaimed wood?

It is very hard to tell that they are yellow. Sorry, they look white in the pictures.

They aren't reclaimed, but we made them appear to be! Our open shelves will be reclaimed wood.

They definitely look cream colored and I want to avoid pulling the yellow out any more.

Paint the walls white, BM White Dove is nice, use white stone counters...either granite such as Bianca Romano or a white porcelain.

You should avoid anything blue, as this will bring out the yellow. If you have warm toned walls and backsplash, the cabinets will appear whiter in comparison.
