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.

Interior Impressions
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 A soft ivory tone will warm things up without looking outdated or dingy.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

He has appointed himself as master of ceremonies for his family’s holiday celebrations and it's easy to see why. For favorite clients, Ken Fulk not only crafts a cozy guesthouse in the Montana mountains, but also oversees an array of holiday festivities—proving he is as much impresario as decorator.

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.”

Hello and welcome! I’m Tracy Svendsen - an interior designer and the editor for Canadian Log Homes and Buyer Select.
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. I hope you enjoy going through my posts, and please let me know if you have any suggestions on future posts you’d like to see!

Page load link Go to Topinterior design, kitchen renovation in beige tones
Every owner of the house dreams of such a kitchen, which would become not only a space for preparing delicious food, but also a cozy place for a pleasant pastime with family.
Beige is the perfect combination of harmony, comfort, coziness and elegance. Caramel shades will make the kitchen luxurious, creamy ones will give warmth, wheaten ones will visually expand the room. Creating and decorating a beige kitchen does not take too much effort and time, because any furniture, finishing materials or decor will look very advantageous against such a noble background.
Beige and combinations with it
Many people think that beige is made from a single color. This is not true! Beige includes several shades: peach, yellow, red, gray, green. Due to this, it cannot be called warm or cold. It is a neutral tone that harmonizes well with other contrasting counterparts.
A combination of beige and light blue is a good option. Turquoise accessories or an unusual azure finish can become a real highlight of the room against a cream background. A more conservative and extravagant solution is the dilution of light colors with black matte furniture.
The following color combinations will also be harmonious: beige with brown, beige with green, beige with pink, beige with gray.
If there is a desire to decorate the kitchen in one color, then you can vary the caramel and sand halftones. They will place the necessary accents and will not disturb the overall bright atmosphere.
Interior styles
Beige has a unique ability to reveal the richness of other shades, emphasize the interesting geometry of furniture and bright accents. It is so versatile that it looks great and stylish in almost any style direction.
Beige modern style kitchen
The perfect combination for connoisseurs of simplicity and conciseness. Modern design includes clean lines on textiles, unusually shaped furniture, stylish glass accessories, and natural finishes. All this will be in perfect harmony with each other on a sand or cream background. The highlight of the chosen style in beige tones can be a bright contrast of colors, for example, black glossy furniture and a light floor, geometric wall patterns against a neutral ceiling, or beige facade furniture with darker finishing materials.
Scandinavian beige kitchen
Nordic notes in combination with a cold beige color can catch the soul of a real esthete of beauty and minimalism. The clarity of forms, the correct arrangement of furniture and accessories, the functional simplicity of objects and the absence of bulky details will blend perfectly with the desired shade. You can complement the overall picture of simplicity and lightness with the help of eco-friendly finishes and natural decor (clay, glass, stone).
Classic beige kitchen
A traditional kitchen design that will never go out of style. Classic style and beige color are good friends that complement each other in the interior. On a neutral light background, bulky luxurious chandeliers, glossy wooden furniture and paintings by famous artists will look even more elegant and stylish. This type of cuisine is suitable for lovers of beautiful bold accents and gloss in everything.
Beige country style kitchen
One of the best ways to fill the kitchen space with rustic simplicity and comfort is to decorate it in country style using warm beige tones.
This design is a great opportunity to give the kitchen extra light and scale. Decorative tableware made of natural clay and stone, eco-friendly furniture, handmade accessories will emphasize the given atmosphere.
Beige Mediterranean kitchen
Lovers of the sea coast often combine blue shades with beige in kitchen design. This choice is not surprising, because caramel marble, colored mosaics, exquisite natural furniture and original decor look great in tandem with Mediterranean style and beige with all its cold and warm shades.
Finishes and materials
The correct design of the kitchen is not only a big plus in terms of aesthetics, but also the confidence that repairs can last a long time. In this regard, it is necessary to carefully and conscientiously approach the choice of finishing materials.
Floor
When choosing flooring for the kitchen, it is important to pay attention to high moisture resistance, resistance to mechanical and chemical damage and ease of maintenance.
These options will help a lot in the future. Tile is considered a proven and comfortable choice. It has a great aesthetic variety and makes it possible to install additional heating. This option is universal for a variety of interior designs. Wood or laminate with imitation of natural materials will perfectly fit into the atmosphere of a country-style kitchen, minimalism or loft. Linoleum and self-leveling floor will also be harmonious in terms of quality and design of the kitchen.
Walls
Wallpaper and plastic panels are standard wall coverings. Non-woven wallpapers are famous for their functional characteristics, and plastic panels can add zest to the uniformity of the kitchen. A more creative approach is considered to be decorative plaster and sheathing with natural materials (stone, wood). The main thing is to remember that the color of the walls should be combined with all other finishing materials.
Ceiling
Stretch ceiling looks very nice in beige color.
It is not only functional and practical, but also strikes the imagination with its external diversity. There are matte, satin, embossed and glossy variations. An equally good choice would be a tension structure, which is not picky in terms of finances and installation.
Kitchen lighting
Beige kitchen space can be comfortable with the right lighting. Many mistakenly think that the central chandelier is enough. The ideal solution would be a combination of the main and additional light source.
For a bright kitchen in caramel, sand, cream or cream colors, you need to choose lighting that complements the overall interior design. It can be wrought iron, copper, imitation wood or durable ceramic. Elements with stones complement the classic direction, chandeliers in the form of candlesticks will be relevant for the loft, retro lanterns will appeal to the owners of country style and pop art.
Another more economical option for additional lighting, as well as zoning the kitchen into a working and dining area, can be a small LED strip (built into cabinets or mounted on the floor).

The rules of color
Shades of beige are among the most sought after when it comes to decorating the interior of a modern kitchen. This can be clearly seen by looking at the numerous photographs of the beige kitchen posted on the websites of furniture stores and salons.
There are several interior design rules:
- The use of beige for floors, walls, ceilings will require that the kitchen set be decorated in a contrasting pink, light green, red or black tone. The opposite option is also possible - the facades of kitchen furniture in beige, then the walls in a contrasting tone.
- The golden shade effectively dilutes the atmosphere. For this purpose, it is recommended to use various decorative elements, bar counters and shelves.
- Lighting devices - sconces, chandeliers must be equipped with yellow shades. Spot lighting can only be used above the work area.
- The kitchen looks stylish and elegant with lower light green or green cabinets in combination with beige facades of the upper ones.
- Experienced designers recommend using beige when decorating the table surface.
Important! The snow-white gloss of any surfaces in the light brown kitchen looks pretentious and noisy.
Minuses of color
Many people do not like pastel colors, believing that:
- they are boring and cannot create a festive mood;
- delicate, light colors require constant care;
- The cost of design in beige is much higher than the use of other colors.
We can only fully agree with the third argument - the interior of the kitchen in beige really requires significant financial costs. But you can argue about the first two "disadvantages" - it all depends on the tastes and preferences of the apartment owners.
Combination of related shades
Proper design depends largely on the harmonious combination of the color palette. Best of all, beige "gets along" with its relatives:
- white (but never glossy!). This combination is especially successful in small rooms - it gives the impression of an airy and cool environment. The only disadvantage of such a “union” is that it requires careful and daily care;
- ash (grey). Great solution for the kitchen. This color is recommended to be used for various details, and the furniture itself should be decorated in beige;
- black. Creates an unusually effective contrast. A darker shade is recommended for finishing various small elements. The use of black countertops is also allowed.
- Brown. The interior acquires sophistication, charm and restraint.
Important! When designing a beige-brown kitchen interior, special attention should be paid to lighting. The lack of light will turn the kitchen into a gloomy room in which it is unpleasant to be.
Contrast
Do you want to create a cheerful and springtime atmosphere in your kitchen? Use a combination of beige and light green. The main condition is not to overdo it with greenery, so as not to get a "poisonous" interior. A better solution is to balance the contrasting combination with a few emerald or pistachio decorative details.
Lovers of discreet design are advised by professionals to use a palette of beige and scarlet.
Important! Red color in the presence of furniture facades, decorated in beige tones, should be used extremely moderately.
The combination of purple and beige looks impressive only if the apron of the working area is decorated with an “ink” shade. You can use purple napkins.
Be very careful when using beige and blue shades. The most elegant solution would be to organize a small "blue" corner in the dining table area.
According to the ancient Chinese feng shui symbolism, beige is considered a symbol of eternal love and prosperity.
Therefore, modern designers are advised to use it at least minimally in the design of any interior.
Appliances and furniture
Creating a unique beige kitchen design depends on the right choice of a certain color of household appliances. The best option would be to install black appliances or place silver household appliances. A red hood and a refrigerator are quite acceptable.
Kitchen set with beige fronts of upper cabinets and blue-black bottom to emphasize with metallic sink and taps.
A plain kitchen in beige tones will miraculously change if you use gold or bronze fittings.
Spacious rooms will be decorated with a small sofa. In addition to additional comfort, this gives the kitchen the necessary comfort.
Chairs with decorative cushions will decorate a small kitchen.
Top
The traditional materials used to cover the table are stone, marble and wood. They give the impression of a natural and natural interior.
The color of the countertops for the kitchen in beige colors recommended by experts is brown or black.
A natural chocolate-coloured countertop in a kitchen with light beige facades of the furniture set will look stylish and elegant.
Curtains
The predominance of beige color in the interior of the kitchen brings peace and coolness to the room, so the curtains should be designed in pastel colors.
Effectively decorate windows with curtains:
- peach;
- lavender;
- wheat color.
It is quite appropriate to use bright “spots” of the interior due to curtains with an emerald, red or blue tint.
