Should we paint kitchen cabinets?

M S

Just went into escrow for a home that was recently remodeled. Would you paint the cabinets white, light/medium gray or just leave them? They are new so I feel bad painting them but I am not a dark cabinet person. I have always loved white but I am nervous that white will not provide enough contrast. I am not sure gray will work with the counters as all the kitchens with gray cabinets I have seen have white counters. I think either white or gray will help brighten the space up.

Whatever we do, we would paint all cabinetry in home including bathrooms to be consistent

This is a home we plan to live in for 5-10 years.

Cost is not really a factor as we have a connection with the painter.

Would like to take care of this before we move in to avoid having to take things in and out of the kitchen. It also may impact the furnishings/decor we choose for the home so I would rather decide early on.

Thanks!
