The color and style of your kitchen cabinets have a great impact on how the kitchen looks and feels. Cream colored enamel cabinets were popular years ago and cabinets with a creamy glaze are gaining popularity once again. While the styles and door fronts of the cabinets may have evolved, the creamy glazed finish is popular because they can be adapted to complement so many styles and work with any color palette.
Cream color cabinets are of course a staple in farmhouse style kitchens, as well as cottages, from English country to French country cottage looks. Rich glazes work equally well across the ages, looking beautifully rich in antique Victorian style kitchens or monochromatic, glossy modern kitchens. Color palettes inspired by fresh produce are a natural pairing with cream glazed cabinets: For wall colors, choose from sunny lemon yellow, comforting sage or celery green, warm tangerine or luscious mango and papaya. White cabinets can look totally different depending on what colors surround it, and this is exactly what makes it such a versatile and popular choice for kitchen cabinetry. It works equally well with deep jewel tones, pale pastels, lush or ruddy earth tones, or vibrant colors like French country red.
Using Creamy Glazed Cabinets to Express your Style
Just as cream or white glazed cabinets are easy to match up with any chosen color scheme, they are welcome in your chosen style of kitchen.
Use them to accent a country style kitchen by bringing in vintage cookware and crockery, country inspired wall art and open storage shelving that lets you show off your collection of antique yellow ware mixing bowls and vessels.
Shabby chic, English country or cottage style kitchens are easy to create by choosing distressed finish cream cabinets and beaded board on the backsplash. Choose decorative details like curlicue corbels and bun feet on the cabinets.
Think minimalist for a modern style kitchen and go for a limited palette such as gray and black to make your glossy white cabinets pop. Modern accent colors like turquoise or bold shiny fire engine red in countertop appliance and dishware add vibrant pops of color.
Crisp white cabinets are totally in order in a nautical style kitchen. Choose a pale sea green or blue for the walls, bring in nautical accents and rich sand colored wood or tile flooring topped with a sea grass rug in the seating area.
Choose pale butter cream cabinets if you´re heart´s desire is a European-inspired kitchen. This palest of creamy yellows looks incredibly rich with a traditional the burnt umbers, deep reds and rich yellows of French or Tuscan style kitchens.
Whether you are designing a kitchen with new cabinets or refinishing old cabinets, you really can´t go wrong with creamy white cabinets. Let your choice of color palette, cabinet hardware, wall art, seat cushions and window treatments provide the details that capture the personal style that makes your kitchen the heart of your home.
