How to Choose a Cabinet Colour (HINT: It's not the first decision you should be making)

#cabinetcolour #paintcolour #kitchendesign

When choosing a cabinet colour for your kitchen, you can't ignore this first colour decision or the rest of your choices will be very limited. Find out which colour decision needs to be made first before you do anything else.

I love helping my clients, home decorating enthusiasts and interior designers choose colour more easily.

Our designer had us pick our cabinet color last after picking everything else. We had a general idea of the color we wanted but seeing all the undertones together was SO helpful with the final selection! And as you mentioned, picking color first can really limit your options for counters (and other materials) which is what we found out very early!

Thank you! Simple and effective tip! I was doing exactly what you mentioned in the beginning of the video, focusing only on the cabinet color...I'm ordering my countertop samples right now!

If I could give 100 likes I would. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now I know how to choose the colors and balance the room. Thank you so much.

This is very helpful! We are getting flooring and painting first. I don’t want to make a quick decision & regret it. I like the idea of have the 3 tiles as a reference. TY

What should you choose "second" if your cabinet color is already dictated by what the builder uses as their "white" or "off-white" cabinet option? New home builders here in So. California don't usually offer to paint custom cabinet colors unless it's a custom home build. And if the cabinets/trim are off-white, should you stay with the same undertone on the walls, counters, and backsplash if you want a great white kitchen? I'm guessing a true white wall might make the off-white cabinets look dingy, so is the only option to go the same off-white (or similar color in that undertone?), or creamier (but same undertone?) in order to have your woodwork still look white?

Maria, I have fallen in love with CAMBRIA, Portrush natural quartz for my counter top. It is white with dark blue veins. At first I was leaning toward dark blue shaker style cabinets. But, now think it would be better to go with more neutral color cabinets. My style for the house is warm minimalism. The floor and wood trim will be Honey Oak. What color would you suggest for the cabinets, back splash and walls?

I would love to see your thoughts on a white oak floor style with a butcher block counter.

We have pine woodfloors with provincial stain which is a medium orange tone my husband doesn't want to paint cabinets but I can choose new countertops and put in a backslash what color should I pick for a countertop, stove is a dark stainless steel and black and fridge is stainless steel grey

We have oak flooring. The existing cabinets are oak too with a black quartz counter top. What cabinets would go with the oak flooring if we decide to keep the current quartz black counter tops.

Yes! This! We had a client who nearly made a HUGE mistake in choosing her cabinet colour. I don't understand how people choose the cabinetry colour first. Makes no sense to me!
