When remodeling kitchen or just moving into a new one, the first thing you might think of are the kitchen cabinets. These usually span a huge area in your kitchen. These are usually placed against the wall on the flooring and also hung on the walls. What's more, kitchen islands are also matched with the cabinets to have a perfect look. While walls are hardly visible, the cabinets play a primary role in appearance of your kitchen. If you are planning inexpensive kitchen makeover, you can mainly work on your cabinets and then add other elements complimenting with these. How about adding white cabinets? Getting kitchen makeovers with white cabinets is a great idea, which you can opt for. So how do you go about it? Here are some tips.
White Cabinets for Kitchen Makeovers
Why White Cabinets
While you opt for kitchen makeovers with white cabinets, you are left with numerous options. You can add desired color of backsplash tiles, desired flooring and counter tops in one of the available shades. What's more, while having kitchen makeovers with white cabinets you can opt for matching paint colors or contrast colors as per your choice. With white, you can give a spacious and airy touch to your kitchen. With proper maintenance white makes your cooking area look more cleaner. Also you can add some flashy colors and convert your kitchen into funky space. Or just have simple accents to give it a soft and calm look. While having kitchen makeovers with white cabinets, you have a lot of options like adding white laminates, white thermofoil surface or simply paint them white. Either have flat surface for doors or get the stylish raised panels. There are various designs in raised panels, like square or arched.
Adding Colors
You have white cabinets you can get your favorite color of kitchen countertop to grace these. Make sure you use the same countertop for kitchen island as well. Also match the wall tiles with color of your countertop. Make sure you have simple and minimal designs on the tiles. You can add dark colors but don't add too much of designer pieces. Plain looks classy. Similarly get the remaining walls painted in either white or color complimenting with rest of the elements. Make sure you do not add more than one color with the white. Combos like white and gray, white and sky blue, white and soft pink, white and light olive give a calm look. Combinations like white and red, white and brown, white and purple, white and black, white and aqua blue create more funky spaces and are the best kitchen remodeling color themes to go for. One of the kitchen makeovers on a budget is to have a complete white effect keeping all elements in white, except the countertop. Also, the window frames must be white in this case. Countertops can be black, gray or brown. While planning small kitchen makeovers with white cabinets, a complete white effect gives a truly deluxe look.
Adding Accessories
The door knobs are small but important thing, hence to be added carefully. If you have a completely white kitchen, go for bronze, copper or other door knobs or handles with a antique finish only. You can also add metallic silver knobs and handles which look good. Adding a nice colorful flower vase can instantly play up the white look. You can keep the dining tables in white with a brown glass top. Also a nice dark rug or white placed under the dining table looks awesome. With metallic pendant lamps on the kitchen lamp and dining table you can rightly compliment the white kitchen design. You can have a few glass doors to the cabinets and place colorful kitchen cutlery inside. While kitchen decorating, try to have the large kitchen appliances in white only. Have decorative kitchen lighting by adding colorful lamps at the corners to spice up the white kitchen.

My kitchen cabinets have a white-pink finish, and I want to refinish them, what is this finish called?
I dont want to completely refinish, just touch up, and I cannot find this finish anywhere. Its more white than pink, and you can clearly see the grain of the wood through it. Any help??
It sounds like you are talking about "Pickling", where they just put a thin "wash" of color over the wood so you can still see the grain. If you go to Lowe's or Home Depot, etc...they can give you the paints and glazes you'll need to touch them up:)
Good Luck!!
