Kitchen Cabinet White / Off white Paint Color Recommendations!

4 years ago

I am preparing to refresh kitchen cabinets without changing existing counter top (warm brown) and backsplash (neutral brown/green). Plan to update hardware with champagne bronze hardware. Kitchen opens into family room where I would also like to update the paint color. Existing cabinet color is BM Mayonaise and wall color is BM Camaflauge. I don’t want the kitchen to look too sterile so need a warmer white but not as yellow as the existing cabinet

color. The kitchen is north/east facing and floors are a darker wood. Any advise would be appreciated.

Start by upgrading lights to 3500-4000K LEDs and adding them under upper cabinets too. I''d prioritize getting that monster micro out of the way. Consider putting it or another one in the island.Also, close up that wine storage there in the heat that's rising from the fridge. Looks like you're not into wine anyway, but that's a terrible place to keep it. Once the lighting is upgraded, it will be easier to choose the right paint color. When you narrow it down to three or so, get big peel and stick samples from samplize.com and move them around the room day and night, stormy and bright, to see how they look.

Awesome advice above...
I love your glass insert cabinets...
really nice, timeless kitchen.
There are so many whites you really need to just sample a couple.
For hardware I’d go slick ,and simple
I agree re closing up the wine rack
And removing the microwave if possible.

I have a picture that is a what I would use as inspiration for your kitchen

Here are a few mock ups - it is late so I got close for wall color, but it is a bit off. You would need to have paint matched to your countertop colors anyway. Online pictures don't accurately display color.

If this were my space i'd spend to fix the microwave situation. the walls are the problem as they have a yellow undertone. I dont see the problem w cabs and counter at all. Paint the walls the aesthetic white shown above. or a neutral bone or ivory or a white w more green undertone. stay away from yellow anything due to the true tan/brown of counter/floor.....Then I'd probably swap the glass in the vertical cabs for a smokey/frosted glass. I dont find the clear glass in that situation a plus at all. I dont see any yellow issue w cabinets from these pics........lighting assessment and a neutral wall color will address what you think is a yellow cast to cabs.....but probably is not. Money saved. Fix the corner w microwave.

Thank you for all your suggested paint ideas and suggestions. I know the convection oven/microwave is an eye sore but unfortunately it has to stay. We will however plan to replace the wine rack with a new cupboard door. We have decided to repaint the cabinets a brighter white since they were really grubby. Considering painting the island an alternate color but that it is still up for debate.
