How to choose the right white paint color for kitchen cabinets
It took me several tries to pick "the one" for my cabinets but I finally found the perfect color.
I know it doesn't always feel this way but picking a paint color for your kitchen cabinets doesn't have to be stressful.
If I could give you one good tip for choosing a paint color for your cabinets it is to try it in your room (don't only rely on a tiny paint chip).
The way I like to do this is by getting a few pieces of white poster board at the Dollar Store and painting each one with the paint samples I picked out.
I used painter's tape and taped the samples on our cabinets, keeping them there for several days, making sure to check out the color in both daylight and at night.
I also found it important to move the color all around the room, even near appliances and backsplash material.
If you don't want to go out and buy samples, you could order a few online.
You could also order a few peel and stick paint samples from Samplize.
Samplize will send you a peel and stick paint sample, that you pick out, and send it to you in a few days.
It only costs $5.95, which is very reasonable considering the paper and the test can of paint that you would have to go out and purchase.
Which one of these white paint colors did I paint my kitchen cabinets?
We went with Benjamin Moore White Dove in a Satin finish, and it was the perfect choice.
I also used it on the trim, doors and 4 of the ceilings throughout our house.
It's safe to say that it's one of my favorite white paint colors ever.
