“I’m going room by room in my new place and I’m currently focused on the kitchen. I’ve painted the walls and LOVE the color, but I’m wondering if I should paint my cabinets white (or some other color) or leave them as is. What do you think?”
Krissy says…
Great wall color! To update the look even more, I would definitely suggest painting the cabinets. White or grey-ish white cabinets would take your kitchen to the next level and give it a more seamless, modern aesthetic. For other quick updates consider changing out the cabinet hardware to something sleeker and more modern, and adding a valence above the kitchen window to provide some softness. Best of luck!

Krissy – Thanks so much for the great advice! I’d never considered a grey-ish white for the cabinets. So I will definitely look into that.
When you say more modern hardward, I’m assuming you mean something like bars (handle looking pulls) of some sort as opposed to knobs.
Again, thanks for your feedback!

You’re welcome! Happy to help.
Yes, I was envisioning sleek, clean lined handle pulls for your doors. But there are so many options out there these days; something like this, a cylindrical pull, could work nicely also to update the space. http://www.hardwareexpedited.com/images/cabinet-modern-finger-pull-display.jpg. My advice is to visit a hardware store and have some fun with it!
Best of luck!
