Four Tips for Choosing White Kitchen Cabinets to Get the Most for Your Buck

White kitchen cabinets are to kitchen design what a little black dress is to fashion. They go everywhere. The way you complement them and choose the details make them fit perfectly into any style or kitchen design. Many people choose white cabinets for the kitchen because it makes the kitchen light and bright and because white looks clean.

In terms of price, white kitchen cabinets are more expensive than some other cabinet styles, but the price is actually more determined by the wood used to make the cabinets than by white paint or vinyl siding. For example, at a home improvement store, a 36″ undermount sink cabinet will cost $116 for oak, $125 for white, and $154 for maple. However, there are wide variations in the cost and quality of white cabinets.

Paint or refinish white kitchen cabinets can hide the wood used to build the cabinets. For example, the cabinet can be constructed of particle board, pine, oak, hickory, maple, or almost any other type of wood. It could even be built of plywood. This is an important factor in determining the quality of workmanship on the cabinets.

Choosing white cabinets can be a way to save money by opting for a lower quality material with a good exterior finish. However, you should keep in mind that kitchens generate a lot of heat and steam. Be sure to choose a material that won’t warp or peel.

They are also available in a wide range of styles, making them suitable for any style of kitchen. But it’s important to match the style of the cabinet doors and the style of construction to the style of your kitchen. Here are some tips to help you choose.

  1. White (or ivory) cabinets are very common in traditional-style kitchens, especially French and Southern styles. Cabinets in a traditional kitchen typically have a raised panel door design. Traditional southern-style kitchens also often include glass-paneled doors. Keep in mind that traditional kitchens tend to be elegant and somewhat formal.
  2. White kitchen cabinets are also popular in country-style kitchens, although natural wood finishes are often preferred. White is most popular in an English country style or Victorian bungalow, but it is also very common in American country houses. Country kitchens by design look worn and well lived in, so the white cabinets can also be mixed freely with other finishes.
  3. White can also be used freely in an eclectic style kitchen where absolutely anything goes and the woods, finishes and stylistic characteristics are often very mixed.
  4. Contemporary style kitchens, whether futuristic or retro, also often use “classic” white. However, in a contemporary kitchen, cabinet doors will have flat, smooth surfaces to produce a sleek look. Glass door panels, particularly frosted or textured glass, are also commonly used.

White kitchen cabinets can be perfect in any kitchen. In a very small kitchen, white cabinets can create a more spacious and light feeling. But with attention to door and construction details and care in selecting the right hardware, white cabinets can be an ideal choice for any kitchen renovation or remodel.
