White kitchen cabinets are one of those kitchen remodeling options that never go out of style. In fact, in a recent survey conducted by Houzz, white remains the cabinet color of choice by 43% of the survey participants with natural wood finishes a close second at 25%. But, why do homeowners prefer white over other cabinet colors?
It Works With Any Color Palette
Choosing white cabinets gives you more freedom to choose complementary colors for your kitchen, especially for materials with natural finishes, such as stone countertops, backsplashes and even the floor material. White cabinets also work well with any style, whether you’re going for an ornate and traditional look or a streamlined modern one.
It Helps Make the Kitchen Look Brighter
White finishes have more reflective properties over any other colors, which is why white kitchens look bright and cheerful even without much lighting. Being near to the ceiling, white kitchen cabinets reflect much of the indoor lighting, which lets you get the most out of a simple kitchen lighting setup.
You can also take advantage of natural lighting during the day when you choose large, energy-efficient windows for your kitchen. The bigger glass areas allow more natural light in while the white cabinetry softly spreads the illumination around the kitchen. Reflected natural light eliminates the need for electrical daytime lighting, which helps reduce your energy costs.
It Makes Your Kitchen Look Fresh and Clean All the Time
White cabinets contribute to a fresh and clean look, especially when properly maintained, and they will impress your visitors. Many homeowners find care and maintenance to be a challenge since dirt, food stains and mold and mildew cannot be concealed on white surfaces. On the other hand, immaculately white surfaces are your assurance that whatever you store in these cabinets are clean. When choosing a kitchen remodeling contractor, make sure that they provide white finishes that do not easily get stained or turn yellow over time.
