The cabinetry is one of the kitchen’s focal points. If you want the cabinets to complement your kitchen remodeling plans, you’ll need to choose the right color. To help you narrow down your options, here are some tips.

How to Choose a Color for Your New Kitchen Cabinets

1. Consider Your New Kitchen Design

The style of your kitchen upgrades may give you an idea of what color palette works best for your cabinets. For instance, if you’re going for a classic style, traditional colors, like white and cream, work best. For modern or contemporary designs, you can go bold and use bright, contrasting tones to create a stunning visual.

2. Work With the Lighting 

Light and color can make a room feel cramped or spacious. If your kitchen is small, the lighting may be inadequate, unless you plan to incorporate more fixtures during your kitchen remodeling project. Include track lighting or overhead fixtures to illuminate countertops and cabinets.

However, if you intend to keep your existing lighting, it’s best to stay away from dark cabinet colors that will make the room look dim and unwelcoming.

3. Create Contrast

Your cabinets take up a considerable amount of wall space, but they don’t have to overwhelm the room. You can showcase both your cupboards and other features of the room by creating contrast. For instance, having a stark white wall with deep brown cabinets will make hardware, lighting, wall decor, and countertops more visible. The colors of each feature will stand apart from each other without being overwhelming.
