When it comes to remodeling your East Brunswick home, few spaces get as much attention as the kitchen. Between brewing your morning cup of coffee, making treats for your children’s’ friends and hosting fabulous dinner parties, this space has to do a ton of heavy lifting. Plus, it has to be versatile enough to cover all these needs. With all the time spent in the space, you definitely want to pick kitchen cabinets you love during your renovation. With all that in mind, we figured we’d start with some of the more basic aspects of a remodel. Choosing the color scheme for your new kitchen cabinets can feel like a strangely big decision. After all, they’re going to set the tone for the rest of the room. So how do you go about picking them?

Classic White

You’ll hear us talk about this option again and again, and for good reason. A white kitchen cabinet is such a classic choice. Don’t mistake timeless for trendy. Just because you see white kitchens everywhere in magazines these days doesn’t make it a fad. They can fit seamlessly into an old style just as easily as they can into a modern minimalist look. If you have children with sticky fingers, it may require a little bit of extra work to keep white kitchen cabinets looking flawless. Just remember that every family is different, with different needs.

Gray

Gray is an excellent middle ground. It comes in plenty of shades, like this light one from FGM Cabinetry above. Depending on the shade, it can be a little warmer or cooler. Plus, it’s not as traditional looking as finished wood. Gray is a neutral tone under most circumstances, and it’s a little less likely to show stains than straight while.

Stained Wood

This is such a classic choice for somewhat obvious reasons. Above is a beautiful espresso shaker kitchen cabinet example. In a space with more light, it looks so stylish and chic. Wood stains come in a variety of hues and tones, making a natural wood kitchen cabinet a pretty broad range of options. Cherry wood and stains are nice and warm, making the kitchen seem cozy and welcoming. There are cooler near-white options that have a beachy quality to them. A mid-range wood stain color can help keep a place neutral, too.
