The Right Cabinet Color
How to choose cabinet colors for your new kitchen
Since your cabinets take up so much space in the kitchen, they become the focal point of the room's design. They not only store all of your essentials, they're integral to the overall theme of the space. If you're planning on remodeling your kitchen, it's a good idea to choose your cabinetry style and color first, since that drives the rest of the room's design scheme. Each cabinet color lends itself to a particular interior design style, so it can be helpful to define the style of your home.
Think about the style of your home, your personal taste, and your lifestyle. While white kitchens are a classic look, it may not work for a sports-loving family that tracks a lot of dirt into the kitchen - lighter wood tones may be a better fit. If you love traditional design, deep brown custom cabinets with intricate detailing are just the thing, while a modern interior design works well with a bold, vibrant color palette. Black is always a great choice for accent cabinets, such as the island or the area around the cooktop, because it works with a wide variety of design styles.
The lighting you have in your kitchen will have a big impact on the way colors are perceived. A kitchen filled with natural light during the day will look completely different at night, under artificial lighting. Even the shades on the pendant lights, or the type of bulbs you use, can change the way a color looks. Paint, flooring and countertop selections will also affect how the cabinets look.
It's always a good idea to order a sample door in the style, wood and finish you are considering. This will give you a good idea of how the final product will look, and how it blends (or contrasts) with your other choices.
