BM White Dove Cabinets (Kitchen)

5 years ago

Is it too much to have White Dove kitchen cabinets and white dove walls? My cabinets will be two tone - bottom iron ore (SW) and top white dove (BM). My house is pretty open and I have Assessable beige throughout. Thanks so much!!

    IMO the beige does not really work with either of those colors so what was the reason for those .Agreeable Gray maybe but not that beige . Sorry I can’ t help more than to say do the walls the same as the cabinets at this stage.

    Patricia - I totally agree. The Assessable Beige was on the wall prior to moving in. I was hoping to change it eventually all over. Starting with the kitchen walls. What’s your thoughts on classic gray (BM). Or, keeping it all White Dove (BM) ??

    If you really want an all white kitchen, then I would try it. You can always repaint the walls if you dont. To me, it sounds a bit sterile, so it would not work for my house, but, it might be just fine in yours.

    Thank You Jennifer...it’s difficult to introduce too much color with open floor plan. And, I don’t want the Assessable Beige that’s there before Renos & throughout my house!

    All of my cabinetry, trim work, and built ins are White Dove. Accessible Beige walls throughout. I love it. I got this advice on the Decorating board here but also verified with ID. I’m not offended, lol. You have to do what works for you.

    Sorry, I think I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to keep the Accessible Beige. I had gold metallic flake wallpaper throughout the main living area until about 2 weeks ago. Had other projects to get done before I could start on my foyer and living room. I planned my color palette and moved forward, knowing that it would go away. White dove is beautiful, soft, warm white.

    It can shift yellow if you have too many grays or bright whites.


    If I were renovating and planning white cabinets and stone/granite/quartz countertops I would find the stone I love before picking the cabinet color. You can always find a white to go with your countertop, but it is much harder to find the perfect countertop to go with a specific white.

    When I renovate an entire home I start with the colors I love. Then I move to the neutrals that work with those colors and then choose a white that complements the neutral.


    I often use my sister's as examples for this concept.


    I love purples, teals and deep reds. Taupe (violet undertoned gray beige) work beautifully with the colors I love.


    Lisa is blond and blue eyed and loves cornflower blue and soft peach and yellows. She has a creamy, vanilla white as her neutral.


    Susie likes fall colors, burnt orange, greens and browns. Her neutral is a greige (green/gray/beige).


    The carpet you pick and the art you hang on the walls and the pillows you put on your sofa and vases and sculpture is where you will bring color into the space. Those colors can be wall colors in bedrooms and bathrooms. You want to think of the house as a whole. You don't want to box yourself in with one room and find out it isn't working with the next room.


    I also often share the pictures below as examples of whole home color palettes. They may not be colors you love, but it gives you an idea of how the same colors are repeated, giving the home a feeling of harmony.
