Cream color kitchens
20 Cream-Colored Cabinet Ideas for a Unique Kitchen
Dan Rak
As smooth as the name suggests, cream is the ultimate neutral, especially in home-décor speak. The soft hue is as timeless as white or gray but warmer, making it easier on the eyes and helping to make any space feel less stark and clinical. It also pairs effortlessly with any accent color or material, from brass finishes to dark woods—the sign of a truly great neutral.
Elegant off-whites, alabaster tones, ivory shades, and linen hues splattered across your cabinets can make even the largest and most light-starved kitchens look welcoming, yet, boast the ability to open up smaller spaces. Ahead, 20 cream kitchen ideas that will convince you to channel your softer side.

Cream cabinetry may make you think of cottage-style or traditional designs, but this kitchen is proof you can boast a modern style with the soft shade. Keeping the design of your cabinet doors minimal is just the way to pull off the demure color in a more contemporary way.

While stark white cabinets can sometimes throw off the color of marble countertops, a cream shade makes them pop. It has a way of making the white stone look brighter and the vein patterns jump off the surface. It's a match made in cream kitchen heaven.

One of our favorite ways to tie colors together in a kitchen is via a printed backsplash. This kitchen perfectly merges the cream color of the cabinets and the white from the walls with a diamond-patterned tile behind the stove.

If the thought of cream-colored cabinets brings visions of old-timey beige to mind, consider opting for barely-there off-white shades. A soft ivory tone will warm things up without looking outdated or dingy.

Charbonneau Interiors
Although we all wish we had more space, very large kitchens tend to feel cavernous, especially when they're painted in a bright white shade of paint.
A soft cream tone warms things up and makes the space feel less clinical and jarring.

The perfect color marriage between grey and beige, greige is a creamy tone that boasts a cool undertone that's, well, cool. Coordinating the shade with dark warm woods gives it a modern farmhouse feel that is utterly timeless. With a shade like this, you won't feel the urge to repaint any time soon.

A super warm and buttery, almost-gold tone of off-white is surprisingly much more versatile than it seems. It serves as the perfect backdrop for both warm and cool-toned additions. The slate-shaded marble looks right at home alongside the gilded accents, thanks to the cream-colored cabinets.

There's so much about this kitchen that screams traditional farmhouse in the best way. The Bellevue cabinets (characterized by beveled frames) paired with a combination of paneled and square tiles on the backsplash and topped off in a cream hue feels straight out of the countryside.

If boho touches like rattan and greenery are a favorite in your home, consider opting for a grayish cream tone. The cool undertone balances the warmer hues you likely gravitate to the most, striking a stunning pairing.

The great thing about neutrals is they pair just as wonderfully together as they do with statement colors. If you can't choose between a creamy warm tone or a soft cool shade, you can incorporate both for a striking look. We love how this kitchen pairs a linen tone on the island and a powder blue on the remaining cabinets. It feels bright and airy without feeling basic.

Cathie Hong Interiors
The best part about the warm undertones in creamy alabaster shades is they feel made for the fan-favorite brass fixtures. Go all out with the guided details, from faucets to drawer pulls and lighting fixtures.

Christina Kim Interior Design
If you're looking to add some sparkle to this muted color, glass hutch doors on upper cabinets add tons of dimension and texture to a neutral color palette.
Just be sure to keep the glass clean, as any smudges can be glaring in a light-colored setting.

Make the modest shade pop off your cabinets with the help of a vintage (or vintage-inspired) Turkish rug that boasts rich jewel tones and incorporates cream shades throughout. A single runner adds so much warmth to a space that often lacks soft textures.
14 of 20
Blue Copper Design
A take on business on top, party on the bottom, this two-toned paint job opens up this small kitchen. To recreate the look and create the illusion of a taller, more spacious kitchen, utilize the lighter color on the top and the darker on the bottom.
15 of 20
Charlie Coull Interior Design
If you plan to incorporate multiple colors into your cabinetry (like this kitchen that incorporates a creamy linen tone on the cabinets and a deep navy on the island), you'll need something to tie both hues together. What better way to do this than with a printed tile that merges the colors? This gorgeous floor boasts tones of blue and cream, which set the tone perfectly for this duo.

Charlie Coull Interior Design
While cream tones have a way of melding with gold accents, they look just as good paired with silver fixtures. A cooler-toned cream looks right at home with chrome drawer pulls, sink, and faucet.
17 of 20
Ashley Webb Interiors
We can't think of a better flooring to pair with cream-toned cabinets than a warm blonde wood. Incorporate the soft-colored material throughout your kitchen design, via a coordinating pantry door, shelves, and additional accessories.
18 of 20
Charlie Coull Interior Design
A truly impactful neutral has the ability to merge a variety of materials together in a seamless and cohesive way. This kitchen incorporates brass handles and drawer pulls with a chrome range hood—and the result doesn't feel the least bit ill-defined. Cream tones are perfect for dwellers who love fusing different styles together.
19 of 20
Christina Kim Interior Design
If you prefer a more custom look, opt for a custom paintable range hood.
You can pair it to your cabinets' style and color so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

What's chicer than a black and cream-colored kitchen? Matching appliances and cookware. We love how this luxe space does the extra mile to show some added flair via matching cream-colored pots.

Cream Kitchen Cabinet Ideas- View Larger Image
Cream kitchen cabinets have increasingly grown in popularity over the past few years – and for good reason! Cream is warmer than white and lends a timeless and luxurious look to a kitchen design. Cream-colored cabinets work in many different design styles, from modern to rustic, traditional, country, and farmhouse. They also are available in a wide variety of cabinet styles including shaker, recessed, and raised panel.
Cream is a soft hue that is as timeless as white or gray but warmer, making it easier on the eyes and helping to make any space feel less clinical.
It also pairs effortlessly with any accent color or material, from brass finishes to dark woods.
Cream-colored kitchen cabinets instantly convey an elegant feeling that provides a warm and inviting feel to the space. Marble countertops, solid stone slab backsplashes, shaker style cabinets, wood, brick, or stone, all look beautiful with cream.
If you are presently researching different kitchen design options, I have created posts on blue, green, white and black kitchen cabinets as well as kitchen blacksplash and farmhouse kitchen cabinet ideas.
Cream Cabinets Pair Beautifully with PatternUsing a neutral like cream provides an opportunity to use color and pattern, because it’s so versatile. Try installing decorative flooring, unique backsplashes, and colorful area rugs – it creates a focal point and adds an interesting element to the space.

Studio McGee made dramatic changes to this kitchen re-design by completely switching the layout by moving the range and island to create this focal moment between the two. They used creamy Swiss Coffee on the cabinetry, and used Calcutta marble on the countertops and up the backsplash. They also created a closet like pantry in this corner so the space was easy to walk through.

Situated in the heart of Southampton’s village, this city dwellers surf retreat started with a disjointed open plan layout; taking it away from its original charming cottage architecture.
Sectioning out the 1st floor, Becca Interiors were able to create cozy pockets throughout the space centering around the heart of the home; the Kitchen. Adding a bonus breakfast room looking out onto the veranda also allowed the traffic of the home to be completely repurposed; better capturing the Hamptons light, as well as focusing on functionality for this growing family. Custom clad beaded-shiplap walls visually lend to the heights of the ceiling and create an added layer throughout, whilst a vintage sourced mantle captures the spirit of the properties original charm.

Instead of completely revamping the home, Whittney Parkinson blended the old and new. Fortunately, the homeowners also shared a passion for maintaining the original makeup of this home.
And, because of the historical significance of this dwelling, they would have had to get approval from the local historical society before making any changes to the exterior, so there were no major adjustments done to the structure.
“The renovation of the home’s original kitchen was by far the most significant undertaking during this extensive project, as this space was nearly doubled in size, thanks to an existing breakfast nook that was used to expand the width of this room. As for the furnishings, the minimalist beige cabinetry was a direct nod to the utilitarian aesthetic of a European kitchen from the 1920s, says Parkinson.
Much like the design process of the bedroom, design inspiration for the kitchen stemmed from notable television series—in this case, Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders. Some design elements that were considered, thanks to these shows, include exposed hinges, corbels, inset cabinetry, subway tiles, and an oversized beadboard.” ~ House Beautiful

Ranch Style House Home Tour
This stunning ranch style house is perched high on a hilltop and nestled among the trees claiming its rightful place on a scenic 200-acre property in Texas. The owner desired an ample yet understated home with natural and simple architectural expression that would blend effortlessly into the landscape that surrounds it. Heavy timber columns and stone walls ground the home to the site. Reclaimed siding and simple barn-like structures give the architecture a sense of history and regional belonging.
Referencing the owner’s love of the old west, many of the interior walls showcase the same stone and wood that is on the exterior of the home. This gesture alludes to a time when materials were not mass produced but simply gathered from the area and formed as needed.

Beautiful Country Homes Tour
This post features tours of beautiful country homes designed by Beth Webb, an internationally recognized interior designer admired for her tactile, serene, and dynamic spaces. Beth believes beauty only works if it is calibrated by ease, and that elegance is rooted in simplicity. “Texture is my color palette,” says Beth, who uses a variety of materials and objects to create interest in a room. She mingles sinuous profiles with hard lines, juxtaposing masculine and feminine silhouettes to create compelling, sensual spaces. Layered light is another crucial element bringing a sense of warmth, romance and contentment to Beth’s interiors.

Atlanta Traditional Country Home
Today we begin a tour of a stunning Atlanta home where the pallet was inspired by the home owner’s (Jane Hight) vast collection of blue-and-white Imari porcelain inherited from her mother and grandmother. Having served as the accountant for interior designer Lauren DeLoach for several years, it was natural for Hight to enlist the designer’s help when decorating her home. When it came to a color palette, the pair looked no further than Hight’s beloved family porcelain. “While we knew we would use blue, finding the right shade took some study,” says DeLoach. “We didn’t want a too-saturated hue, but we didn’t want it too pale. We also needed another color to add punctuation marks here and there, so the salmon hue came from the Imari porcelain.”

Country Home Tour
The small and compact English-style country home is 1,400-square-feet and situated on a sweeping pasture across from the Inn at Brays Island in South Carolina.
The owners hired Interior Designer, Beth Webb to create a pastoral blend of Anglo and Low Country traditions. “It’s interesting how a house this tiny can be so INCREDIBLY LIVABLE. Inside, all that extreme verticality means the rooms feel neither contained or compressed. Plus the house has a beautiful orientation on the property, so there’s a lovely dappling of light morning, afternoon, and evening. We took advantage of this as much as possible, especially in the galley kitchen, which we designed as kind of a non-kitchen kitchen, a space that looks more like a sun-splashed garden room with that huge window.”

My goal is to connect readers to the latest and most beautiful trends in farmhouse and rustic home design.
Having grown up in the country, I’ve always had an interest in rustic interiors. I studied design at Montana State and Ryerson University and later became a partner in a handcrafted log home company.
Although I now live in a charming residential community by the ocean, my home still reflects my love for the modern rustic approach to design.
When I’m not working on my business, I love hiking with my German Shepherd Rose, working out and travelling. I also love visiting with my kids when they come home. My daughter is a doctor and is working towards becoming a surgeon, and my son is a civil engineer who until recently was living in New Zealand.

Cream kitchen is a combination of practicality and beauty.
The noble color of a light shade creates the effect of impeccable purity. The furniture looks stylish and modern. The interior, made in cream colors of warm colors, beckons with comfort, creates tranquility.
Cream Kitchen Shades
Cream color is versatile. In furniture production, there are many of its shades. It can be saturated, pastel, light. It depends on the semitones that are included in its composition.
Cream kitchen can be in the following shades:
- Pearl;
- Pink;
- Peach;
- Beige;
- Baked milk;
- Cappuccino color;
- Grey.
Cream kitchen set is a great alternative to white. It is rich in nuances and looks great indoors.
Benefits

- Easy to match with almost any color.
- Beautiful light set does not look too sterile;
- Cream overflows look more interesting than similar light colors, such as beige or ivory;
- Visually enlarges the space.
Creates a stylish visual effect. - A warm range, ideal for classic kitchens as well as modern style kitchens.
Classic cream kitchen
Shades of cream are perfect for creating classic interiors. Manufacturers offer many options for "Classic" facades made of solid wood and MDF.
For a classic cream kitchen, designers offer many beautiful elements:
- Pilasters;
- Balustrades;
- Carved cornices;
- Decorative stained glass;
- Ornaments on facades.
To create a classic design, the walls are decorated in a classic style, and warm-colored curtains are hung on the windows.
Modern style cream kitchen
Kitchen design in modern style suggests functional furniture with smooth surfaces. They can be matte or glossy cream. Glass stained-glass windows are made in a frame or aluminum profile. Usually use frosted glass or "satin".
Minimalism in the kitchen
For lovers of a minimalist style, you should definitely choose a light cream set.
It is performed without decorative elements. The surface is smooth. The handles of the cabinets are hidden behind the facade in an aluminum profile.
Cream color looks good with minimalist steel details. Therefore, household appliances can not be built in behind the doors, but left in plain sight.
Cream kitchen worktop
To prevent the cream-colored kitchen set from looking dull, designers suggest using a contrasting worktop. Burgundy and chocolate colors are perfect.
The table top can be made of inexpensive plain plastic or natural stone with a marble pattern or inclusions.
interior design, 50 photos of projects, furniture
Refinement and airiness of the cream kitchen amazes with impeccable cleanliness and nobility. Even in the photo, she attracts the eye with ease and tranquility, beckoning with comfort and warmth. Surrounded by a cream-colored setting, it is pleasant to gather in the evenings with the whole family or start the morning alone with a cup of coffee.
And if you think creamy cuisine is beautiful but not pragmatic, you are wrong! The practicality of the interior in bright colors is time-tested.
What cream looks like
Cream is not beige, peach, pearl, or even pink. He absorbed all these shades. It is generally accepted that cream is a light shade of white with a yellow tint. It is called a classic of warm tones. Look at any interior photo from our gallery at the end of the article: cream looks different in each shot.
Color chartThe color is so multifaceted that it is difficult for an untrained eye to catch its shades, to understand the tones. Its essence is light semitones. It's not even a color, but its state.
Minor inclusions of shades such as:
- yellow are allowed;
- grey;
- straw;
- and even green.
If you are looking for an alternative to white, then this is what you need.
It is noble and rich in nuances. Take a look at the photo.
A cream-colored kitchen has a number of significant advantages, and its interior:
- doesn't look too sterile like white;
- is perceived much more interesting than in beige;
- looks cozier than the classic light gray design.
Matching styles for cream kitchens
Cream is versatile. It is suitable for different styles in light colors. The color has lost some of its popularity during the minimalist design craze. Then the crystal white color held the palm. But the coziness of cream and its ability to never get bored helped the color to return.
Today, creamy cuisine is not uncommon. But even looking at photos in design magazines, the language does not dare to call it banal.
Classical perfection
Classic kitchen design is becoming more and more popular and in demand. Light facades allow you to focus on the original decor and other details.
If you complement the design with harmonious moldings on the ceiling and curtains of warm colors, you will get a comfortable kitchen with a classic style.
Retro kitchens
Scandinavian, rustic, Provencal and country style often emphasize cream furniture. It can be slightly pink, even peach, yellowish or greenish. Such kitchens have a maximum of comfort and warmth.
Kitchen room in Provence styleRoom furniture in bright colors is chosen with matte facades. An apron in such an interior should not stand out from the general style. Instead of tiles, surfaces with a craquelure effect are often used. Light scuffs and artificial aging of textured tiles are appropriate here.
Modern
Dynamics of modern style in kitchen design is expressed in the use of simple functional furniture, plain fronts and cabinets. Frosted glass and steel fit well into the interior.
Modern accepts this tone The upper modules of the headset are decorated with glass doors, and the lower ones can be made a tone or two darker.
Art Deco
The luxury and richness of this style is expressed in the use of interesting details in a laconic form. The dominant kitchen is usually a furniture set, which plays here with an abundance of shades. The shape of the furniture is played up with a rich palette of backsplashes and walls.
Spotlights are included in the interior. The dining area is decorated with tiles with a sheen of metal.
High-tech
Not without metal and high-tech style. Strict lines and straight forms prevail here. In a technological interior, metal, plastic and tempered glass are used. Here, beige gets along well with cold metal and makes it more cozy and homely.
The apron is tiled in grey, brown or beige.
Monochrome or contrast?
A creamy interior can do without companion colors. A kitchen in pastel colors always looks elegant. Here you can play with shades. A light backsplash made of ceramic tiles works well with darker, thicker and more densely colored lower modules.
Monotonous cream "expands" the room well. To enhance the effect and avoid traditionalism, glossy furniture facades and mirror surfaces are used. For example, a set with a stainless steel worktop or a glass backsplash will make the kitchen expressive. The gloss of light shades will additionally create interesting highlights even in kitchens where the sun does not look.
If you want to play with color combinations without risk, feel free to choose cream and chocolate. This duet is suitable for tiles, suitable for lining an apron and is considered a win-win option. As a third color, steel, gray or natural oak is suitable. Light furniture is well set off by dark tiles or brown countertops of any shade.
In combination with bright colors, the cream becomes neutral. It remains in the shade and serves as an excellent background for more saturated shades. Such properties will be appreciated by lovers of complex colors. It is combined with purple, shades of fuchsia and burgundy.
If you don't know what color to combine a cream color with, take a closer look at its shade at least in the photo. Greenish cream will make friends with terracotta, olive, with orange and yellow flowers suitable for green. The pink kitchen will become more seasoned if you choose cream furniture for it. The surface of the facades can be glossy or matte.
Light blue can be chosen from the cold ones. In tandem with cream, it creates a calm interior. Pastel warm kitchen will take on all shades of brown, sand and gray. This design will be appreciated by adherents of natural color with bright accents.
Benefits of cream color in kitchen design
- Neutrality. Cream color does not hurt the eyes. He knows how to be dominant and humble. Cream goes well with almost all colors. If you have cream furniture, then you can easily pick up the color of the walls, floor, ceiling and windows.
- Ability to expand space. Cream, like other light colors, is visually capable of making a small kitchen wider, taller and longer.
