Whether you're hoping to spruce up a country farmhouse or make some temporary changes to a rental, chances are a fresh coat of paint is top of the to-do list. After all, re-painting is the easiest, quickest, and likely the most inexpensive way to add life and vibrancy to any home. Here, we've rounded up the best white kitchen cabinet paint colors—from crisp, clean whites to warmer off whites and antique whites—for getting that clean, airy look of your dreams. And since we know it can be hard to visualize an entire room from just a swatch of paint, we've made it easier to use your imagination. Not only have we included linked color samples, we're also sharing gorgeous, helpful pictures of real-life kitchens that will help you better see the paint colors in action. (Still, be sure to get a sample from the paint store to test!) Brush one of these warm and cool white hues onto your cabinets, or simply use it on a smaller, individual element such as a DIY kitchen island or a built-in accent cabinet—the options and possibilities here are endless. If you are tackling a DIY kitchen cabinet makeover on your own—no fear! Just follow our step-by-step guide to painting kitchen cabinets. And, don’t stop at the cabinets!
