For many of us, our kitchen is one of the most-used spaces in our entire home. It’s a place where meals are prepared and enjoyed, memories are made, and of course, where all sorts of various appliances, dishes, and other kitchenware are housed! But if yours is filled with white appliances, you might be hoping that painting your kitchen cabinets can add a nice touch to the space. Here are a few creative color schemes that you should consider!

1. White

All-white kitchens are very popular due to their clean and simple look; this is why white has been used in interior design for centuries! It’s easy to enhance and complement via other accessories and features, such as plants, table ornaments, decorative accents, or backsplash tile fixtures. Adding other hints of color is also a great way to prevent the white from seeming too overwhelming.

2. Black

There’s truly no other pairing quite like black and white. It’s perhaps the boldest example of contrasting neutrals, and it allows the white to blend into the color scheme with ease. You can also enhance the look further with something like a floral backsplash, potted plants, or other sources of color.

3. Dark Natural Wood

This elegant cabinet color adds luxury to any traditional kitchen and can give the space a warm and cozy feel. Chocolate brown is a particularly popular choice, which sharply contrasts with white appliances. However, you can go with any brown-toned cabinet color to create a nice, or even nature-inspired, coordinated look.

4. Turquoise

This exciting combination of green and blue can add a nice touch of character to your kitchen cabinets. If you pair it with a crisp, contrasting shade of white, cream, or light gray, you can create a very stunning and contemporary look. If you want to further highlight your turquoise cabinets, consider adding dark floors. If turquoise is a little too greenish for your tastes, you can opt for something like teal or light blue for a similar effect.

5. Beige

After white, beige kitchen cabinets are often the easiest to keep clean, since they tend to show scuffs and smudges well. Beige cabinets tend to add a natural element to the overall kitchen design, and since it’s a warmer tone than white, it can provide a pleasant, subtle amount of contrast to pure white appliances.

Of course, it never hurts to consult with a skilled team of professionals if you have any questions about how to paint your cabinets if your kitchen is filled with white appliances. But in short, there are few wrong answers here; white is versatile enough that complementing your appliances should be no tall order!
