Are you a white kitchen lover? I need your help.

I'm gutting my kitchen (actually, the entire townhouse). I'm putting in white shaker cabinets. In the vendor's photo above, they call the cabinet color a bright white, but it is a soft white (the photo is misleadingly). In person, the color is white and doesn't have obvious undertones, but it definitely is not a bright white.

I plan to paint the house trim/baseboards the same color as the cabinets.

I need help picking a white or off-white paint color (e.g. BM white dove) for the walls. What do you recommend? I also need help deciding if the ceiling color should match the walls or the trim. What do you think???

(The townhouse only has 8 foot ceilings. The quartz counter top will probably be soft white with some gray in it.)

Thanks!!!

theres no need to go matchy-matchy on every single thing! keep the ceilings and trim a bright white, otherwise it looks on the dingy side. white cabs, white trim, wht counter top, white ceiling, white baseboard,,,,whew,,,Going to look like a surgical room! That's a lot of white. If you match your wall paint to the cabinet paint, then everything is just going to blend into a giant off-white blob. Consider doing a nice gray on the walls so the cabinets stand out a bit. Keep your trim/baseboards white. I made the mistake once of using "biloxi" (Behr) on mine and it just looked 'dim' after awhile.

The easiest way to match your cabinets to the wall colour is to unscrew a cupboard door and take it to a paint store to match it. They can do that easily. It is much easier to do that than to pick a colour. Alternatively, you would have to go and get lots of samples and try and match it.

It is nice to make the trims a different white but in high gloss. I recommend using a half or quarter strength of the wall colour so there is a contrast. Use that same colour for the ceiling but make it a matt paint, not gloss. Does that all make sense? Hope so. All the best and reach out if you need.

Bonjour! Is your ceiling unique to the kitchen or continues for another room? You can use the ceiling to add color If just the kitchen. A medium intensity color would warm up the space without making somber. You can also choose a wall as an accent, keeping the rest very pale. Tones of yellow would be nice. See the Benjamin color trends for 2016. A lot of whites accentuated with colors. One room has yellow, but you don't have to go so intense. Also see on houzz "clored" ceilings. You can also use our window frames to add contrast painting them a darker shade of gray or charcoal. It gives character, definition and class Sorry i dont have photos to demontrate at the moment (problem with iphone:( but you can always find on houzz) :) Hope this helps!

Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!

I hope you plan some contrast somewhere, in the floor perhaps?

I agree that you may want to add contrast somewhere. If you do want an exact match it is possible that Bright White is actually a Lowes paint colour. It might be worth checking into as we found out.

We ordered Masonite interior doors at Home Depot. When I asked about having them factory painted we had the option to choose one of 3 Behr white paint colours. Behr elegant white was a pretty good match to our BM cloud white. We purchased their paint for the trim around the new doors and are very pleased.

It was much easier than running around with paint chips and we didn't have to paint 5 panelled doors!

Hope this helps.

I've included a photo of a kitchen that I did with white shaker cabinets and calcutta grey quartz on the island. The ceiling paint is BM white ceiling paint and the trim is BM white trim paint. I would suggest painting the walls something other than white. You will need a contrast against the white cabinets. It's ok that the trim will be a different white than the cabinets. The walls in the photo are SW sea salt, it looks like a soft green but in some lights it looks grey. Beautiful color.
