My choice for kitchen cabinets has always been white because I just don't like living with dark colours or too much wood grain. I liked white before it became popular; I fought the natural oak trend when we built our home in the mid 80's and now that dark stained cabinets seem to be the going trend where I live, I continue to love white.
Just how popular are white cabinets?
I decided to conduct a very unscientific poll using the kitchen section of Houzz. I looked at the first 50 pictures of long views of kitchens sorted by most popular today and here is what I found out: Of the 50.....
Yellow was perhaps the most unusual colour choice of the fifty surveyed kitchens >and you would really have to love yellow to live in this kitchen. >
You can never go wrong with a soft colour for kitchen cabinets. This creamy green is light enough to open up the space, but you can still define it as a colour. I think it was a good solution in this Craft>sman style house where the traditional finish would have been stained wood. >>
And there you have it. What's your favourite cabinet finish?

Who would ever think of a grayed lavender as a cabinet colour, but it really works in this atrium kitchen. The wood tone in the medium stained island is repeated in several places throughout the space to create visual harmony. Grays with purple undertones actually work really well with mid toned woods, but it not a colour everyone likes. >>>>>

I think the darker island concept with white kitchens works really well to add drama to a space. This > dark colour also grounds the room and integrates well with a darker hardwood floor. > Oh, to have all those drawers!>>
