I m surprised to say that because i much prefer white usually especially in farmhouse design.
Black or white cabinets.
Also one photo gives you a more wider view of the kitchen and one photo is more of a close up shot.
Overall a white or light kitchen will evoke a clean and sanitary look.
It doesn t look bad to me.
Since cabinets take up a lot of visual space a lighter colour for the cabinets helps give a more expansive feel.
This can be both timeless and fresh and as an overall approach will never go completely out of style.
My walls are also a bright turquoise.
My large island is antiqued white cabinets with black granite.
The white just looks cheap to me.
I think it s because the design above looks very modern y to me maybe it s the handles on the cabinets.
We are building a house right now and we plan to put white upper cabinets and stained black lower cabinets in the kitchen.
Light granite counter top.
Whereas the refrigerator with the black cabinets looks more built in.
Six years later i still love it.
This will give you a clean contemporary look without going totally dark or overwhelming the senses.
I much prefer the black.
A splash of color like red mixed in with the black makes for a dramatic fun look as well.
I also have a section with open shelves and some with glass fronts and a copper sink.
The photo of the white cabinets just does not look as appealing especially since the refrigerator looks awkward in the space.
My kitchen looks huge and i receive so many complements.
My current kitchen has white upper and lower cabinets with a black stove and dishwasher.
