What color cabinets with this floor?

12 years ago

I would like to get new cabinets and countertop, but am not sure what color. I was originally planning on cabinets that were darker than the floor but and a white quartz countertop. But the darker cabinets seemed so dark that I am considering an antiqued white. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Either of your ideas will work. If you go dark, try to match the dark bits in the floor and use a light (cream or white) counter to lighten up the room. If you go with cream cabinets, use a dark counter.

I think you'll find the antiqued white to be your best choice. I can't quite get a feel for the space from just this pic, but white will draw the eye up in contrast to the floor, keeping the room elegant, but light. Best of luck!

Thanks for the comments. It is such a small kitchen I am worried about too much dark, so I am leaning toward white, but my husband is leaning toward darker cabinets. Here is a different angle.
