We're redoing our kitchen and my husband is building new cabinets. The exterior/raised panel doors will be white, and we're not sure if we should do the interiors in white using particle board with white melamine finish, or use pre-finished plywood which has a light coloured wood-grain finish (I believe plywood comes with a white melamine finish as opposed to the light wood pre-finished colour as well.) We're leaning towards plywood as opposed to white melamine-finished particle board, but I'm wondering about the look of a wood interior with white exterior when the doors & drawers are opened. Is the light-coloured wood-grain interior considered more of a high-end look, or is an unwelcome contrast to the white exterior? There are no glass fronts or any other features in which the interiors would be visible aside from when opening the doors & drawers. Hardware will be dark bronze, flooring has warm tones, and countertops will have a bit of warmth to them as well, so it's not a stark all-white room. Our home is modest but fairly traditional/classic in style. My main question is, will a white exterior with a light wood interior date more quickly than all-white inside and out? Many thanks for any opinions! (picture for example of interior).
