Are you envisioning a classic all-white kitchen but concerned it will be a little too bright? Antique cream kitchen cabinets can give you the timeless look you want in your new kitchen while offering a softer, warmer version compared to a crisp white one.

We all want our kitchens to be welcoming in feel and appearance. In many homes, the kitchen is the heart of the home. Yet many of us also want a classic style, for a kitchen that will last for years without ever looking dated. For that reason, white kitchen cabinets are appealing.

And white kitchen cabinets are classic, to forever be in style. But bright white won’t work for everyone or every family. Depending on the lighting in the kitchen if you have a lot of windows, the white might be overpowering. The white can come across as to stark and sterile when you have floor to ceiling cabinetry. White kitchen cabinets can also highlight the bumps and smudges you’d rather hide, because of the stark contrast between the white and the wear.

Consider antique cream kitchen cabinets

Antique cream kitchen cabinets can be the answer. The cream color softens the look but still is still classic in its appeal.

These painted kitchen cabinets (Bradenton maple cabinets in our Champagne finish) are just soft enough in antique cream. The cream melds with the brick around the oven, the dark wood floor, the dark granite countertop, and the antique bronze hardware for a cohesive, cozy look. By featuring antique cream kitchen cabinets, this kitchen has a light, airy appearance that’s still warm and soft—and yet timeless. The Bradenton cabinets are also a classic style, dressed up just enough in detailing to give this kitchen an elegant feel.

When you’re dreaming of your new kitchen, put antique cream kitchen cabinets on your wishlist, for cabinets that will stand the test of time in classic color and style, with a welcoming warmth white can’t offer.
