Paint Kitchens Design Dilemma

Simply white (BM) or white dove(BM) for kitchen cabinets

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

We bought the house, but I want to change color for my kitchen cabinets. Already 3 month i can't decide the color. The kitchen is dark natural light don't hit enough but because of the light the kitchen look bright. With granite black countertops with some cream/gold marble ( i don't know what kind) and tiles in the kitchen is kind of grey/orange. Can you guys please help me to give some opinion about what good color for my kitchen cabinets and walls. I'm thinking about white dove or simply white by BM

I would go with White Dove because of the warm tone of your tile floor. I'm concerned that Simply White might be just too white given the warmth of your flooring. Such hard decisions, I know!

BM Simply White Cabinets...White Subway?

Ok thanks! But what if I were to go half way up the wall to create the illusion of wainscoting? I get what both of you are saying about leaving some of the grey paint, I think I like that too. If I end the tiles at the cabinets I didn't purchase any finishing pieces of tile just yet or even a ceramic crown piece. However, if I do the wainscoting look on the lower half with tile I could always finish off the edge with some wood trim but again, I'm not sure if that will look weird? I think it's safe to say going all the way around the door in my kitchen just won't work if I can't go all the way around the window and because of my bulk head, so that's out.

Did you keep the White Dove or switch to something else? We will have TONS of natural light (4 skylights and tons of windows/doors that are south facing and will get Colorado sun all day). I'm hoping since it's the weekend I can stall a little until Monday morning and may just have to paint some boards tomorrow to put up and see how they look in the light throughout the day.

I had Navajo white in my old house, it definitely leans yellow. I’d be more inclined to stick with all white to play nice with all your elements.

Silver drop will work because it also has warm undertones. Also look at BM Pale Oak. Gorgeous compliment to White Dove. Good luck and keep us posted!

You can’t go wrong with either Simply White or White Dove for kitchen cabinets. Both look great with dark countertops and gold accents. Some of my favorite projects have been Simply White, especially with dark countertops. But if you are feeling stuck or need more ideas for white kitchen cabinets and how to pair them with countertops, we’ve written posts on both to help you decide.

i cannot decide on best color for my kitchen cabinets!! Its mainly between Chantilly Lace, White Dove, Simply White and Swiss Coffee... I wanted white cabinets at the start of the project... ended up also wanting white marble countertops and here is where it all became difficult to decide on a white! Here are my countetops... we may use wood or Natural Cream for the island....
