Selecting Kitchen Cabinet Colors

There are so many varieties of colors that work great on kitchen cabinets. Before selecting a random color that you love, take into consideration of the other colors that are already in your kitchen.

Also, keep in mind the flooring you have already installed or plan to install. Flooring and cabinetry play well when matched together in the color selection process.

These colors will give your cabinets a new pop and fit in well no matter what color scheme you design your kitchen with. There are many different shades of white to choose from, but all of them will help your room feel bright and fresh. White cabinets can also brighten up a dark room.
