Four Easy Ways to Bring out the Best in White Cabinets
White cabinets are a classic look in almost any home, but, sometimes, even the classics need a little upgrade. With a few quick fixes, you can easily make your white cabinets feel new again!
-
Clean and declutter! One of the biggest downsides to white cabinets is their ability to show even the tiniest speck of dirt. Take some time to wipe down the cabinets – use some mild dishwashing soap and warm water on any stubborn spots – and dry them with a soft, clean cloth. (To protect the finish, avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads when you clean your cabinets.) Your cabinets will shine like new when you’re done! Take a few minutes to put away any items that have collected on your countertops as well.
- Update your knobs and pulls. Matte black and vintage bronze hardware offer a bold contrast on white cabinets. Or, choose polished chrome hardware for extra sparkle and shine. Long, sleek pulls add interest in modern kitchens, and cup pulls give a room a farmhouse feel.
-
Focus on one or two “pops” of color for your space. Choose some kitchen towels with a fun pattern, place a colorful fruit bowl on the counter, or just add a potted plant or vase of flowers to the room.
- Brighten up the inside of your cabinets. Line the insides with a fun peel-and-stick wallpaper or paint the inside of the cabinets for a fun burst of color. Or, use chalkboard paint on the inside of the cabinet door so you have a convenient place for grocery lists or a weekly menu.
These quick tips will have you falling in love with your white cabinets all over again!
