I have white appliances and want to paint my kitchen cabinets white but NEVER see white cabinets with white appliances they are always ss or black!
Getting new appliances is out of the question. Anyone have pics of the white with the white? This message has been edited. Last edited by: bamnew, |

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures, but I've often seen white cabs with white appliances. Many of the cabinet web sites show it. You would think it would be a no brainer (as in the obvious choice) if you're doing white cabinets, but in some of the kitchens that are glazed or not pure white the appliances can make the cabinets look "dirty", IMO. With an off white or glaze, I think stainless looks better. Pure white is OK.

No doubt ss looks the absolute best with white cabinets...what about using that peel and stick stainless steel looking paper to cover the fridge and dishwasher etc....? I saw it on Desined to Sell and it looked good. I bought some myself and am going to install it this weekend.

We have white cabinets and white appliances. No- they don't match exactly, but I think it looks fresh and clean. We have a small kitchen, so it looks less cluttered. What a lot of work to put peel and stick on perfectly good appliances. No offense to anyone, but spend your time on something else!

It can definitely be done and if done right it can look very nice and clean. Especially if they're actually kept clean... it just takes a little more work to actually keep them clean.

I have white with SS.. my cabinets are the same as my trim.. so white appliances would not have worked for us.. cabinets
I see white with white for light looks.. beachy, country, ... Hope you'll be sharing with us... Becky http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb49/becky42_bucket |

we too have white with SS. and white trim. the only druther about white on white is... -- when does it look smart & clean? -- when does it look boringly plain? I'd think, if your cabinet doors & drawers have relief (have 3 dimensional aspect with panels, &/or trim, etc.) it can more easily avoid looking the latter. That's, IMHO, is why country, beach/seaside, and other more traditional styles work as white on white. |

My cabinets are white and my applicances are all white. I set it off with green marble countertops and white sink/faucet. I plan on keeping the white cabinets and replacing the countertops with granite (not green again). As we replace appliances I may go with SS or something else, but I won't go out and replace just for the sake of color coordination. I have a pic, but I don't see a way to upload it to this site.

I have white cabinets and island, ss appliances, Stellar Night silestone on the countertops, and Rosa Grey silestone on the island. My paint is Behr Potter's Clay, and I use burgundy as an accent color, as in canisters, etc. I think it's beautiful

I have white cabinets and white appliances, I wanted everything to blend. Like someone above said I was looking for a cottage, country look. My kitchen is on RMS, not sure how you look that up, but it might help.
