Sometimes the decision of what color of cabinets to choose can be complicated, especially having so many options. Light and dark kitchen cabinets will look good in your kitchen depending on what you are looking for. We bring you different pros and cons of both to make your decision easier.
Light Cabinets Pros
Light colors are frequently used for their neutrality and simplicity. These characteristics make light cabinets a great base for large areas. Also, light cabinets are always a trend so you will never feel that your cabinets are old in style. Another reason to get a light cabinet is that it will help to brighten a darker space or a kitchen that doesn’t have any natural light.
Light Cabinets Cons
Too much light color can mean that space feels clinical and cold, rather than clean and crisp, especially using white. Another thing about light colors is that it takes a lot of maintenance and cleaning. It is certainly easier to see smudges, spills, and splashes, which tend to blend in more with darker or patterned cabinets.
Dark Cabinets Pros
The dark colors easily contrast well with almost any color, which will give your kitchen a nice look. Also the simplicity of dark cabinets, specifically black or very dark brown ones, offers a clean and classic look. Another reason to get dark cabinets is that they bring an air of luxury to your kitchen. They’re sleek, mysterious, and high-end in appearance.
Dark Cabinets Cons
Same as the light cabinets, dark cabinets need to be cleaned often. Food particles, dust, water splatters and more will show up easily on darker surfaces. Also, it is easier to see scratches and dings on this color of cabinets.
We hope this helps you making a decision and choosing the best kitchen cabinets that fit your style and necessities.
