White Cabinets – A Timeless Classic

From country white to modern chic, home design professionals agree that white continues to be a favorite choice for cabinet color. Naturally bright and inviting, white remains to outperform other color choices for kitchen and vanity cabinets because it creates a classic, clean style and allows flexibility for interior decorating. White cabinets reflect light which enlarges and brightens a space, ideal for cooking and performing household tasks. White vanity cabinets provide a clean, crisp look desired for every bathroom. We’ve had customers use whites from across the spectrum- ranging from ultra white to cool blue-white to the southern classic: cottage white.

“Southern Living White”

An example of a beautiful kitchen with white glazed cabinets and a butcher-block island.

Inspired by timeless country cottages, the “Southern Living White” trend boasts creamy white cabinets with maple glazed edges. The look is often accented by an island with a butcher-block counter top. The off-white tones reflect the warmth associated with the southern living and its hospitable charm. The wooden texture of the island top adds in a subtle rustic touch  without dating the look. Detailed cabinet door profiles and dramatic crown molding are popular selections in the country kitchen and add timeless detail to the overall appeal.

“White Shaker: Modern Minimalism”

Modernization’s influence has not bypassed the kitchen. Smooth edges and simple, clean profiles really emphasize the minimalist qualities of the modern Shaker cabinet style.

Elegant and sophisticated. Simple, crisp, and clean. Free of ornamentation, shaker cabinet profiles are defined by square-edged, slabs for the rails and stiles, creating a clean and appealing atmosphere. Their minimalist nature allows the other aesthetic elements of your kitchen or bathroom to shine. Paired with glass tile back-splashes and stainless or pewter appliances can help create an industrial or metropolitan vibe. Trim the upper cabinets with craftsman style crown, which boasts equally as clean edges, to really accentuate this trend.
