We just went through this same decision. We are using Shiloh cabinetry - soft white in the kitchen. I saw tons of pics that went both ways, and I thought they all looked great. My opinion is that it depends on the kitchen design and if you have cabs to ceiling, or some other design that needs to match.

We opted to match but only bc of our hood design and built ins that we had in the kitchen. Our hood is going to have the room crown wrap around it, and I didn't want that white color to be different from the cabinetry white color below. So, that led to all the crown being the same color...which led me to have the baseboards the same color. In addition, we have a kitchen fireplace/tv built in and that goes to the ceiling.

Plus, I always have preferred an off white/creamy trim to bright white trim. And, I didn't want the creamy color to look like I tried to match but messed up. So, after all that analysis paralysis, I just matched the interior trim to the soft white cabinets!

hth!

I matched my cabinets to the trim paint the PO used.

That was sure easier than picking out paint.

I wouldn't try to do two whites. I'd try to match it or go different, like a color or (more likely) stained wood.

There are also some interesting opinions about matching trim and cabinet color on this much longer post:

We are at the home stretch of our whole house remodel. We had or painter color match the white for all the trim and built ins to our island and hood.

My white cabinets do not match the white trim and woodwork in my house.
