27 Stunning White Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinets painted in exuberant hues may be trending at the moment, but the popularity of white kitchen cabinetry still persists. Whether it’s white Shaker-style cabinets paired with classic white subway tiles, or white lacquered, handleless cabinets partnered with sleek, white quartz countertops, white cabinets have won over legions of homeowners and designers alike.

White cabinets have played a particularly prominent role in the signature “palette-cleanser” kitchen of the past decade. Defined by pigment-less countertops, backsplashes, and cabinets, white-on-white kitchens are beloved by homeowners who harbor pipe dreams of white sofas and white rugs, but not necessarily the spotless families needed to render them practical. They’re also heralded by designers looking to create tranquil kitchens that counteract their clients’ hectic, stimuli-heavy lifestyles. Regardless of your personal style inclinations, white-on-white kitchens—and by association, white cabinets—are a foolproof way to achieve sophistication in a space.

Increasingly, however, designers and DIYers are extracting white cabinets from their colorless comfort zone. Rather than partnering them with achromatic finishes, they’re accenting white cabinets with dark butcher block countertops, tropical-colored appliances, and kitchen islands armored in cabinet doors painted in high-contrast hues. While it’s true that white cabinets are less attention-grabbing than colored ones, opting for white cabinets doesn’t have to mean a stark or boring kitchen—not by a long shot. To show you exactly how white kitchen cabinets can invigorate a room, we’ve collected 27 gorgeous kitchens that make white cabinets feel oh-so-right.
