Help! White or gray!!!

6 years ago

We can’t seem to decide if we want to keep our kitchen as is or do all gray cabinets like the island. Worried we won’t be able to keep the white too clean since we cook a lot and have little ones. Thank you

    All gray? i think it’s better left as is.....far better.

    I think it depends on your surrounding colors. What color is your flooring? Are your walls beige? How much more will it be to repaint? Also keep in mind that a painted finish will be much different than a factory finish. Nothing wrong with all gray, I chose all dark gray for ours but I wanted something different than every house around me.

    How much natural light do you get in your kitchen? It looks really nice right now. With grey counters everywhere ( I think), you don't want it to be a dark hole.

    White for sure.

    my vote to keep as is. years down the road you can always paint the island to match anything and the white will always be a neutral.

    Love it as is.

    Keep as is! I have white cabinets and messy teenagers and haven’t noticed they are any harder to keep clean than my old wood ones.

    Keep as it is IMO. If there is going to be fingerprints and smudges they will be there no matter the color. Some things show up more on the white and others on the dark. I’m probably partial though because we just finished a Reno with white cabs and a white wavy subway tile same size as your. Lol
    Wish mine way big enough for a painted island like yours. Beautiful kitchen

    The island looks blue on my screen....which is very nice with your white. Keep your colors as is because i) gray is everywhere 2) you can add color through your accessories.3) I only see two pot lights be sure (check with experts) that you have enough lighting. Good luck.

    White is classic and although grey has stuck around for a while I still believe it to be a little trendy. I agree with the person above who said you can always change the color of the island but doing the whole kitchen is a huge overhaul! Stick with white with the grey accented island. Looks beautiful!

    Agreed with above. Not sure why everyone thinks white cabinets are hard to keep clean? I've had white for 5 years and never had any issue. I cook daily as well (lots of sauteing and stir fries) and have a toddler that has her own cupboard with her cups and a brita, and even that stays clean.

    wow, incredible kitchen!!! Love it! I would leave the cabinets white. contrast between the island and the outer cabinets is very lovely. I have white cabinets and blue/gray island. White cabinets are not hard to keep clean at all. I treat them with Pledge once a month and whenever a stain gets on the cabinet (happens often near the sink and garbage pull) I dab Pledge on a cloth and wipe clean. Never use water to clean cabinets. That's what I was told by my cabinet guy. Enjoy your gorgeous kitchen.
