When it comes time to re-model kitchen spaces or when putting a kitchen in a new house, one of the most important decisions you will make is your choice of cabinet colours. Cabinet colours set the mood of the whole kitchen and need to be chosen carefully, balancing function and aesthetics.This article will talk on the most practical kitchen cabinet colours.

White

White has become one of the most popular kitchen colours because it can make a room feel light and airy. White is also a versatile colour. You can use white kitchen cupboards to create a traditional or French Country look if you use door details like fancy doors, moulding and corbels. You can also use them to create a more modern look if you opt for shaker or slab doors. Easy to clean Proponents of white cabinet kitchen styles allege that white cabinets are actually easier to keep clean than darker colours because you can easily see and wipe up dirt without having to clean the entire cabinet area.

Stained wood

Choosing various wood species and staining them is another option for kitchen re-modellers. Many HGTV kitchens are done in stained wood and some believe that stained wood is likely to look good than white for longer, both because the wood stains won't show dirt as much and because white cabinets can be seen as trendy.
Variety of stains and species The upside to stained wood is that you have a huge variety of different stains and species to choose from, so you can make your kitchen take on any look you want. One downside to stained wood over painted white is it might be harder to touch-up cabinets and make stain match, while it is easy to just re-paint if something happens to your white cabinets.

Coloired cabinets

Different colours of painted cabinets are also become popular kitchen colour ideas. Two examples of colours that have become trendy are gray and light blue. Hiding dirt and easy to paint
Both of these can hide dirt better than white cabinets, but also have the benefit of being easy to paint and touch-up, which may make them more practical than white or wood. The downside is that this might be a trendy style, which is is no longer popular since a few years, thereby making your kitchen feel more dated.
