Wall paint color to go with Kraftmaid Warm White cabinets?

3 years ago

Please help with ideas for white/off white wall paint colors that will go well with Kraftmaid warm white cabinets.

Most cabinets are warm white. Other elements in the kitchen are a dark blue island (kraftmaid midnight), soapstone counters, calacatta marble tile backsplash (white/gray/gold), hardwood floors (medium toned red oak). Most windows are south facing, but there's one north facing as well.

It's pretty bright in there with all of the white. I'd like the kitchen to have a warm and cozy feeling (well, as much as it can with all that white)

Specific BM or SW paint color recommendations would be so appreciated!

Our designers say they like SW Alabaster and Shoji White for general purposes, but I'm concerned they are too "cool" and could make the cabinets look yellow in contrast.

We used SW Rhinestone. It has a subtle blue undertone. Our cabinets are Kraftmaid Warm White and the island is Kraftmaid Harbor Blue (which appears much darker in this photo than it is.)

Designers ???? I need pictures to see the space . All the elements you state in my head do not work together so I need a visual. BTW I always tell my clients to address lighting before choosing anything so my advics right now is make sure all the lighting is LED I like 4000K to have no yellow cast

@Andrea- what color wall paint did you end up using? Also curious what color you stained your red oak floors, if that was part of the kitchen reno.

I used SW Natural Choice. I wanted a subtle contrast. But yes, alabaster will make them look yellow. I have it on my trim and it’s a lot brighter.

Angela,

May I ask what backsplash you used? The one I picked is a bit too creamy, I think,

Thanks!

@Beth Carne I used Imperial subway tile in Ivory, with Mapei grout in eggshell. I didnt like the tile at first, it was way too creamy but after it was grouted and sealed, I love it. Kind of melts in the background.

Angela, do you have any other pictures showing Natural Choice with the Warm White Cabinets? Are you happy with your choice of Alabaster for the trim? Your kitchen looks beautiful.

Thank you! Yes I'm very happy, It all blends together nicely. The color is above the hood vent but is harder to tell from this angle.
