Timeless White Kitchen Cabinets
The main thing to consider is the type of white you can select. The days when white used to be a single shade are long gone. Today, white cabinets are available in a wide range of shades from bright white to subtle white. Although both shades are bright and modern, they have a different charm. If it’s the bright white kitchen that appeals to you, then whiteness is key. In traditional kitchens, brilliant white works especially well. White craftsman-style framed kitchen cabinets look beautiful in bright white. Cabinets that have the classic cup-patterned drawers also make a nice combination. Add to these white marble countertops and you complete the look.
If you want to give your kitchen a vintage look, dress up your appliances, like a refrigerator or dishwasher, with cabinet doors. This will blend them well in your kitchen and won’t be distracting. But if you prefer the fresh look, add shiny stainless steel appliances for a beautiful, updated kitchen with a touch of traditional flair.
Another hallmark of today’s white kitchen is the attention to complexity. Today’s cabinets have very fine details and lots of molding. Crown molding on the top of the cabinets gives a very elegant look to the kitchen and this means that the cabinets are of superior quality. Plus, adding crown molding to old cabinets isn’t very expensive and gives your kitchen a whole new look that makes your cabinets stand out more. But there are still some finishes to be done. You can achieve this by using lighter shades of white paint on the cabinets and by staining the nooks and corners of the design. This adds to the details of the cabinets and gives them a nice fresh look.
White kitchens look very charming. Another benefit associated with white kitchen cabinets is that they make your kitchen look very spacious. Dark colored cabinets seem to take up more space. Opting for a white kitchen is a good option for the elegance and beauty it gives it. In the meantime, if you’re remodeling your white kitchen, you can draw attention to the details, like adding new drawer handles, replacing old solid surface and laminate counters with natural stone with trim. All of these methods can make your kitchen look like new.
