How does the pantry relate to your other cabinets in the kitchen? Ideally, it would be the same as those cabinets. If your other cabinets are stained, or some other color, paint the pantry the same as your door and trim. It needs to relate somehow to other things in the space.

A door in the kitchen, if a white painted cabinetry, should match. Consider it "trim" and trim is best in the same white as any and all other white cabinetry.. Why re invent wheels? : )

Jane I just wanted to thank you for your idea of putting a drawer above by fridge so the top cabinets would be aligned. I love it. I know your first choice was to but faux stainless steel trim on top of the fridge but functionally a drawer makes sense. I was thinking of repainting my other kitchen cabinets the same color as the pantry. However when they put it in the pantry, I noticed the color difference between my door trim and the wainscoting in my dining room and living room. Should I spend the extra money to repaint my pantry the same color as my door and wainscoting or save money and keep it as?

I meant to write Jan not Jane it autocorrected

If the doors match the rest of the cabinetry they should match in color ...if the doors are different they could match the door..my preference would be to match the wall...but that would rely on the intention to keep the wall color the same for a while..

So the pantry is the only thing painted this color? Paint it the same color as your other trim and the door, so it is cohesive. Then it will look right whether or not you continue with painting your other cabinets.

Yes just the pantry. I can have my painter guys repaint the pantry . Here are other angles for your reference.

Seeing the pics helps....and reconfirms the white should match the white on the same wall (and door)...

Tho’ not impossible to live with as is ...as it is recessed...there is an overwhelming amount of white painted surfaces in the whole area..which is why my first thought leaned to use a color instead....as a break from all that white

I love the wall color..as an alternative color and maybe even the door painted the wall color for the same reason ..there is so much white wood...

Another benefit to painting the pantry the same color as the trim, door, and wainscoting is that later on, if you choose to paint the beige color a different color, you don't have to repaint the pantry as well.

I have dockside hickory flooring, and a pantry in the kitchen. I want to get new cabinets and countertops....I have black appliances. I am thinking a blue...maybe slate blue for cabinets....and wondered what to paint my pantry? NOt sure on wall color...I was thinking white....and not sure of countertops. HELP? lol
