White cabinets for the person who said no white cabinets

3 years ago

Hello! Embarking on a major home reno with a complete kitchen gut. I always said I did not want to do white cabinets but here I am, now deciding between different shades of white for the cabinets. I didn't want to do white because I was afraid that it will be boring, although I see white cabinets all the time that look great... Anyways, I can't commit to a color and don't want to do something that will go out of style quickly so we're going with a warm wood island and now I'm trying to narrow down what warm white we should go with. Ordered from left to right in the picture, it's between this coastal white color that's custom to our cabinet makers, Benjamin Moore swiss coffee and natural cream. That is the wood that the island will be built in. Granite TBD, we'll pick out the slab to match the cabinets. I need to have a color picked out by Monday. Anyone have any experience with these colors or someone who was hesitant to do white cabinets and landed on a white they liked? Let me be clear, I have warmed up to the idea because it will be classic and I won't have to worry about updating 5 years from now. Thanks for your help!

I third that. If you're dead-set on the white, though, the custom one looks the best, the Swiss Coffee and Natural Cream are pulling pink against the color wood you have.

The custom one looks the best. The middle one is pulling pink. I don't see pink on the right one but it is muddy.

Have you looked at any granite yet?

Definitely, do the wood for the cabinets. Then choose your granite for the perimeter counters. Do the island with a different countertop and, lastly, choose a paint color for the island

We love Swiss Coffee and Natural Cream, and with that tone of wood, you can’t go wrong with either. And honestly, the slab you choose for your counters and the type of backsplash you choose can greatly impact your cabinets. White kitchens aren’t ever going out of style, but choosing the right paint can feel overwhelming, especially when white wasn’t on your shortlist for cabinet colors. We have a post with our favorite white kitchen cabinet paint colors if that helps you narrow down your choice, but in the meantime, rest assured that any of those samples you have will be a beautiful white for your kitchen cabinets.
