For a great alternative to the classic white kitchen, look no further than off-white kitchen cabinets. Although pure white is perfect for modern homes, it can look stark and cold in larger kitchens. Off-white cabinets offer a cozier and more inviting feel, whether in cream, ivory, eggshell, or bone white. Antique off-white kitchen cabinets are ideal for farmhouse or country-style homes, while streamlined shaker cabinets are popular for contemporary kitchens.
Off-white cabinets can be paired with white countertops and polished nickel hardware for an understated and simple look. To make the cabinets pop, add color contrast through dark countertops and black or brass pulls, knobs, and handles. Lastly, consider painting your range hood and kitchen island in the same shade of white to give cohesion to your space.
Take a peek at these off-white kitchen cabinet ideas to learn how you can add a new shade of color to your kitchen.
