How do you pick the best shade of white for your kitchen cabinets?
White kitchen cabinets are an all-time favorite, but what is the best shade of white for your kitchen? Choosing the best white paint color for your home isn’t always simple. Some yellow, some gray, some peach, some blue, and so on. Because different white hues have warm and cool undertones, you need to consider all elements together. These different undertones might not be obvious when you look at the white paint on its own. That’s why you can choose the paint color for your cabinets after deciding on the other elements like a countertop, backsplash, hardware. Another important consideration is lighting. Color can look different under fluorescent lighting at the showrooms which they were likely initially selected. That’s why before deciding the color you need to check it under natural light.
If you are painting your existing cabinets, you also need to consider the cabinet material. Cabinets can be made of different wood species and each wood has a different undertone. So, finish samples are very important. Order a sample from the manufacturer and apply it to a small portion of your cabinets then you can see what you think before making a huge decision.
Off White Kitchen Cabinets
Bright white cabinets are great for kitchens but if you are looking for something warmer with a bit of vintage charm, off-white will be a perfect choice for your cabinets. The difference between the regular white and off-white is different undertones. Off-white can be with a greyish or yellowish undertone. If you are looking for a bit cooler look, a grey undertone tends to look neutral and cool. On the other hand, the yellow undertone has a warmer appearance.
