White Cabinets in Gray Walls

In some kitchens, white cabinets can be a little off-putting. In other kitchens, the color can be almost perfect, but for some reason it doesn't sit right in a gray-walled kitchen.

First, let's talk about why a kitchen with gray walls can use white cabinets, at least in terms of what looks good on that surface. Gray is a lighter shade of white and has a rustic, country look to it.

It doesn't really matter what you use as a color or what you do to the cabinets in your kitchen; it's still going to have a gray feel to it. Some white cabinets work well with dark wood floors, while others work best in white, with a darker tint.

So, how do you go about getting white cabinets in a kitchen with gray walls? The answer lies in the materials you use. Let's begin with your choice of countertops.

If you want white cabinets, you'll need to use a more traditional hardwood like oak, maple, or cherry. These have a slight more aged look than a laminate or composite material will, but they're easier to work with.

They also look better in the dark, and offer a natural finish that won't warp when exposed to heat. With your white cabinets, you're going to want to choose a dark wood for the back, with a lighter, painted or stained wooden top.

There are also a lot of materials out there that are not just natural but look good in the dark - like a metal base and a granite countertop. With all these choices available, you're going to have a lot of different options to choose from.

There are plenty of websites online that you can visit, and many of them will give you everything you want to know to get started. Just make sure you take your time and look around, because it can be frustrating to have an idea, only to find out it isn't exactly what you wanted.

A good place to start is by doing some research on all the options you want to use for your white cabinets. You can go to your local hardware store or check with a manufacturer if you don't live near one.

Sometimes, you might want the look of black or dark colors with a lighter feel, and this is where manufacturers come in handy. When looking for a new white cabinet, it helps to pick one made by a well-known manufacturer, so you know you're getting a product that's made well.

The same goes for glass on the tops of the cabinets. You want to choose a company that makes its products in the USA, so they can offer you the best quality for your money.

The next time you go shopping for a kitchen, think about how you'd like to have your cabinets. If you don't like them, you can always try something else, but if you do like them, you can start making changes now.
