Black or white... which do you prefer?

When it comes to choosing a colour for kitchen cabinets the decision is not always an easy one. Choosing wood or oak cabinets is pretty straightforward, but deciding whether to go light or dark, black or white can be a difficult choice to make, so here are a few guidelines to help you...

 

 

You may love the look of dark kitchen cabinets, or at least the idea, but dark cabinets are not a wise choice for a small- or medium-sized kitchen. Not only will the cabinets overpower the space, they will make a small kitchen feel confined.

However, if you simply don't want to give up on the idea of dark kitchen cabinets, the trick is to break up the space: adding light countertops is one of the ways to do this, another is to add a light-coloured splashback, and yet another option is to put in light-coloured flooring.

 

Light or white kitchens are perfect for a small- or medium-sized home but many homeowners dislike the fact that light-coloured cabinets require regular cleaning.

Add children to the kitchen and you could spend your life wiping down doors and frames. Despite this, there's no denying that light or white kitchen cabinets look fresh and clean. They invite you to add a few colourful accessories here and there... a personal touch.

Light or white kitchen cabinets also visually enlarge a space, reflecting light and brightening the room.
