White
kitchen cabinets: Classic. Timeless. Versatile. It is easy to see why
homeowners are drawn to this enduring favorite.
Houzz together with Kitchen & Bath Design News recently
published a study showing that white cabinets are chosen 49% of the time.
Almost half of us are doing white kitchens!
Here
in Chicagoland there are a number of factors my clients mention that influence
this decision:
v We are doing a huge amount
of wood floors, often in mid and dark tones. To avoid the whole issue of
matching the wood stain of the cabinets to the color of the flooring, we choose
white cabinetry
v White is a classic. It
will never go out of style. We can create a look that transcends the latest
“trends”. Paired with a classic door style, we can create a look that will last
for decades.
v When you own a home
in an area like suburban Naperville, with high turnover, your remodeling
decisions need to take resale into account. Homeowners need to consider how
their house will present to potential buyers in the future.
v White is a neutral. It
will work in any color palette. It can pair with any floor, and compliment any
wall color. We can design a neutral, even monochromatic background that will
allow the client to change room décor, fabrics, even wall color, to suit
changing tastes.

White
comes in a variety of tones- from the bright high gloss of contemporary, to the
modern soft white touched with gray, to the more traditional warm white with a
touch of cream.

No
matter how you use it: white on white monochromatic, warmed with rich wood, or
accented with pops of color, white cabinets can work in any home!
