6 Approaches to Choosing Cabinet Color

How to Pick the Perfect Color for Your Cabinets

One of the most frequently asked questions we hear from HomeSource Design Center clients is, “what color should I paint my cabinets?” Of course, there are millions of options out there, so it’s no wonder that clients feel overwhelmed by all the choices. After all, having cabinets you love is one of the most important aspects of enjoying your kitchen simply because your cabinets take up so much of your space!

Selecting the right color for your cabinets is crucial to the overall design of the kitchen. So many options, how do you choose?

Here are six approaches to picking the perfect cabinet color for your home:

Play It Safe with White

White is by far the most popular cabinet color due to its fresh, clean, bright appearance, so you never will go wrong with it. However, just because white is a safe choice, don’t think it’s an easy one. White has so many options — bright white, off-white, cream, antique white, white with a tint of another color, and more! Make sure you see how your choices look in your room and at different times of day before you make your final selection, or you may be in for a surprise.

Brown is the second most popular color for cabinets because of its natural look. Just like white, brown offers abundant options. Also, you can achieve brown with a stain as well as with paint. Get the advice of a designer or at least a good friend before you make the final decision about the hue.

Go with Gray (Copy)

Gray is an excellent choice if you don’t want to take a risk, but you also want to steer away from the traditional. Its neutrality is pleasing to the eye, and it will go with a lot of styles and color schemes.

If bold is more your style, make a statement with your cabinet color, and use neutrals to complement it. This approach works particularly well in modern kitchens.

Pick More Than One (Copy)

Can’t decide? You don’t have to choose just one, especially if your cabinets cover more than one wall. See how the blue and white colors of these cabinets go together nicely.
