How to Choose the Best Color for Your Kitchen Cabinets

With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide on a color that suits your taste and needs. In this section, we will share some tips and tricks on how to select a color that will enhance your kitchen design and make you happy for years to come.

How to Select a Color That Suits Your Kitchen Style, Layout, and Lighting

The first step to choosing a color for your kitchen cabinets is to consider your kitchen style, layout, and lighting. These factors can influence how a color will look and feel in your space.

Here are some general guidelines to help you narrow down your choices:

If you have a small or dark kitchen, opt for a light or bright color that will make your space feel larger and brighter. White, cream, beige, or light gray are classic choices that can work with any kitchen style.

If you have a large or bright kitchen, you can experiment with a darker or bolder color that will add some contrast and drama to your space. Black, navy, charcoal, or dark green are trendy choices that can create a sleek and sophisticated look.

If you have a modern or minimalist kitchen, go for a simple or monochromatic color scheme that will create a clean and streamlined look. You can also add some pops of color with your accessories or appliances to spice up your space. Black and white, gray and white, or white and wood are popular combinations that can create a modern and elegant look.

If you have a traditional or farmhouse kitchen, choose a warm or cozy color that will create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. You can also mix and match different colors or finishes to add some character and charm to your space. Cream and green, blue and gray, or white and wood are lovely combinations that can create a cozy and rustic look.

How to Choose a Color That Complements Your Existing Elements

The next step to choosing a color for your kitchen cabinets is to consider your existing elements, such as countertops, backsplash, appliances, flooring, and hardware. These elements can affect how a color will look and harmonize in your space. Here are some specific tips to help you choose a color that complements your existing elements.

If you have a busy or colorful countertop or backsplash, choose a neutral or muted color that will balance out your space and let your countertop or backsplash stand out. White, gray, beige, or griege are versatile choices that can work with any countertop or backsplash color.

If you have a plain or neutral countertop or backsplash, choose a vibrant or contrasting color that will add some interest and personality to your space and make your countertop or backsplash pop. Green, blue, red, or yellow are fun choices that can add some color and energy to your space.

If you have stainless steel or black appliances, choose a color that will create a sleek and modern look and match your appliances. Black, white, gray, or navy are chic choices that can create a contemporary and stylish look.

If you have white or cream appliances, choose a color that will create a warm and cozy look and blend with your appliances. Cream, beige, griege, or wood are cozy choices that can create a classic and timeless look.

If you have wood or laminate flooring, choose a color that will create a harmonious look and coordinate with your flooring. You can either match your cabinets and flooring for a seamless look, or contrast them for a more dynamic look. White, cream, beige, or wood are natural choices that can work with any wood or laminate flooring color.

If you have gold or brass hardware, choose a color that will create a warm and elegant look and accentuate your hardware. White, cream, beige, or black are classy choices that can work with any gold or brass hardware color.
If you have silver or chrome hardware, choose a color that will create a cool and sophisticated look and complement your hardware. Gray, white, black, or navy are trendy choices that can work with any silver or chrome hardware color.

Don't forget, you can change your hardware entirely, too.

We use a custom metal jig that doesn't flex. This ensures the exact placement of holes is replicated on each door and drawer. See image.

Filling holes is a two-part process, wood filler for the bulk of the work and then finished off with wood bondo for a smooth surface.
