Timeless and elegant, white painted cabinets are a staple in the design world. White cabinetry is easy to style and really never goes out of style. This particular colour is incredibly versatile and will fit any and all design styles. White signals cleanliness and simplicity, making it a natural fit for kitchens and bathrooms, but it can also be surprisingly dynamic when used throughout the home.
We often hear “I just want white” when initially discussing cabinet colours. But don’t be fooled: there are so many different whites to choose from, each with their own distinctive features. From cool and grey-toned to warm and buttery, finding the perfect shade of white can really make or break your space. Let’s take a look at some our favourite white tones and why we love them so much.
Chantilly Lace
Chantilly Lace, although one of the truest whites on the market, is still a cool tone. This is a beautiful shade of white that we’ve seen used in kitchens, bathrooms, closets, mudrooms and more. It is light, bright, and clean with the most faint blue and gray undertones. Chantilly Lace is perfect for bringing a fresh, airy feel into any space and works best in modern or transitional applications. This white has been and remains one of our most popular cabinetry shades for its versatility and ability to not muddy or alter adjacent colours.
Braam’s White
From our own custom colour collection, Braam’s White is our interpretation of a true white. Braam’s White is made almost no trace of undertone, making it pure, neutral, and balanced. This shade sits right in the middle of the white spectrum and doesn’t show warm or cool under any lighting. Clean, but not cold and bright, but not stark, Braam’s White is the perfect blank canvas for any space. This particular white complements any design style and offers versatility when it comes to styling.
Balboa Mist
Balboa mist is soft, warm and neutral. It’s actually a super subtle greige with a soft mix of beige and grey. Balboa Mist is great for any room you want a calm and inviting atmosphere as it has a naturally warm quality to it. We’re seeing Balboa Mist paired with natural white oak – a beautifully soft and tonal vibe. And, bonus, Balboa Mist looks fantastic with the popular Taj Mahal quartzite: the caramel colours of the gold and beige veining complements Balboa Mist stunningly.
White Cabinetry Will Always Be in Style
A timeless classic, white cabinetry will never go out of style. We might see different tones of white grow and shrink in popularity – just like how warmer whites are in the spotlight now – but white cabinets will always be relevant in any space. Simple and versatile, white cabinetry is perfect for any design style and pairs well with other colours whether that be a vibrant hue or a more earthy wood tone. Bottom line: don’t listen to people that tell you that the white trend is over because that is simply not true. It has just changed!
