Through trends and regular color explosions, white kitchens continue to be a mainstay in the interior design world. Loved for its versatility and bright look, and with ever-changing trend forecasts, it's no wonder so many people continue to paint their cabinets white.
Actor and producer Jessica Chastain is another proponent of white kitchen cabinets. In a video shared on her Instagram page, interstellar and Molly's game The star showed off a modern kitchen with metal appliances, matte countertops, and clean white cabinets.
One of the enduring appeals of white kitchen cabinets is that they pair really well with any other color palette, from light to neutral. The expandability of white also makes it very useful in tight spaces.
Unsurprisingly, the white color of this kitchen cabinet has gained approval from many designers who consistently agree with its timeless quality. Among them is Elizabeth Vergara, founder and lead designer of Vergara Homes.
“White cabinets continue to be popular due to their timeless appeal, versatility in a variety of design styles such as minimalism, Scandinavian design, and modern farmhouse trends, and their ability to create spatial awareness and expand a room. ” says Vergara. “These are the go-to choice for many of our customers and fit perfectly with their desired aesthetic.”
Elizabeth Vergara is the owner of Vergara Homes, a home improvement company with a passion for custom, high-quality home design. Elizabeth has been assisting homeowners for the past 13 years as a design-build specialist, and she has experience in both construction management and architectural design.
The caveat with white is, of course, that maintenance costs are higher. Dark-colored surfaces are good at hiding stains and dirt, but white kitchen cabinets need some TLC to keep them looking new.
“To maintain them, clean them regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives,” says Vergara.

Using the clean-as-you-go method will make cleaning your white cabinets even easier. When stains sit for a long time, they become more difficult to scrub and wipe clean.
“Using protective measures such as liners and felt pads and removing stains immediately will ensure long-term beauty and durability,” explains Vergara.
