Should I Paint My Kitchen Cabinets The Same Color As My Trim

I just finished painting my kitchen cabinets and frames white.

Should i paint my kitchen cabinets the same color as my trim.

In fact i love it so much i even want to use the same color formula you shared on the lid. But it can be a lot easier and definitely less expensive to just paint the walls the same white or cream colour as the trim. It can be risky to mix and match whites as one can easily make another look dirty warm cool etc. I don t know how open your kitchen is to the rest of your home.

I love the look you show us of painting trim doors wall the same. If you already have something painted white in your room ie. This is often the case if the rest of the trim in the house is off white or if the counters or flooring in the kitchen are on the warm side of the color spectrum. Instead of painting the trim the same as the walls you could consider a color that would compliment other finishes in your kitchen even something darker so that you notice the view out the window not the window trim but if you have a lot of trim and light walls it could look like you are outlining the room in the trim.

Home what color should i paint my kitchen cabinets. If the walls are white or off white you pretty much have to go for a darker color for the cabinets and the obverse is true that if the walls are a dark color you should go with a lighter color. If you don t it s sometimes hard to determine where you should make a switch. I totally agree with the white on white beautiful.

Going with the same or similar color as the walls on the perimeter cabinets can make the kitchen look larger and the island stand out if it is contrasting. But here is my dilemma. Rachel i could use your help in my very large kitchen. Same color cabinets and baseboard trim may divide the focus particularly when there s a lot of contrast with the wall color.

I believe the trim in the kitchen should match the trim in the rest of the house since i believe the permanent features of the house trims interior doors etc should have continuity. Medium brown baseboards may be too prominent in a room with plain white. Cream cabinets white ceiling crown molding. Trim or cabinets and are not repainting it i would highly suggest that you paint whatever it is you want to paint the exact same colour.

Instead of painting the trim the exact cream which is never always exact given how light and placement plays such a large part split the difference for a warmer white for the trim and paneling. For example if your counters have a lot of brown or yellow tones then an off white color can be a great compliment. Because the traditional way of creating contrast between the trim and walls means if you keep your creamy trim your walls still need to be darker so that your trim doesn t end up looking dirty.
