The color of your cabinets plays a big role in the overall look and feel of your kitchen. When it’s time to choose a new color, there are many factors to consider, from what’s trending to your current kitchen décor. The overwhelming number of possibilities can make this decision challenging. To help narrow down your options and find the color that’s ideal for your kitchen, consider the following tips.

How Do I Pick the Right Color for My Cabinets?

1. Think About Your Lighting

Take the brightness of your kitchen into account as you consider color options. If your kitchen is well lit or has ample natural lighting, you have a wider range of colors to draw from. A well-lit kitchen can easily pull off the dark, dramatic elegance of black. If the kitchen is smaller or has less lighting, black or other dark colors on the cabinetry can make the kitchen seem tinier and darker.

2. Coordinate Your Colors

If you’re doing a full kitchen renovation, think of your cabinetry as the main centerpiece. Cabinets take up much of the wall and a significant amount of the visual space in the kitchen. Let them set the tone for the room and choose contrasting colors for your countertops and flooring. 

If you’re only having the cabinetry painted, take the theme and current colors of your kitchen into account. Choose colors that tie in with the countertops and flooring. If your kitchen is modern, consider white and other bright colors. If your kitchen has a traditional or farmhouse theme, stick to warmer colors with neutral contrasts like cream.

3. Consider Whether You Plan On Selling

How long do you plan on living in your home? If you have no intention of selling in the foreseeable future, you have a little more leeway with your color selection. If you plan on selling, stick with neutral colors that appeal to a broader audience.
