Home Decorating Design Dilemma Kitchens

White fiberglass windows with white cabinet

8 years ago

I am remodeling my kitchen. I will be replacing windows with fiberglass windows which are white. I am debating between alabaster and pure white cabinets and trim but not sure if white in windows will look bad with trim that is a different white... I’m guessing pure white would be closer match but I think I prefer alabaster and hate to make a decision on cabinets and trim based on a color I had no control over ... thoughts?

That's a tough one. My white fiberglass replacement windows actually had a strong gray undertone.

What is the trim color in the rest of the house?

I tried to match all the white elements in my house as closely as possible. If I couldn't I made sure the undertones didn't clash.

I am looking to replace all of the trim to white ..it’s currently oak. So I was going to do cabinets and trim the same but I was afraid something like alabaster (which I love) wouldn’t look good with fiberglass windows .
