The white just looks cheap to me.
Black or white cabinets.
It doesn t look bad to me.
Overall a white or light kitchen will evoke a clean and sanitary look.
My large island is antiqued white cabinets with black granite.
My permeter cabinets are antiqued black which softens things.
Six years later i still love it.
I think it s because the design above looks very modern y to me maybe it s the handles on the cabinets.
For a large kitchen with many cabinets consider placing an island with black cabinets in the center and then make the rest of the cabinets white.
The island will also be stained black.
Also one photo gives you a more wider view of the kitchen and one photo is more of a close up shot.
We are building a house right now and we plan to put white upper cabinets and stained black lower cabinets in the kitchen.
My kitchen looks huge and i receive so many complements.
A splash of color like red mixed in with the black makes for a dramatic fun look as well.
Light granite counter top.
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.
Whereas the refrigerator with the black cabinets looks more built in.
My current kitchen has white upper and lower cabinets with a black stove and dishwasher.
This can be both timeless and fresh and as an overall approach will never go completely out of style.
I m surprised to say that because i much prefer white usually especially in farmhouse design.
My walls are also a bright turquoise.
