off white kitchen cabinets with glaze-edgewood cabinetry

One of the most important decisions you need to make about your home decor is the color scheme for each room.

The colors you choose for your kitchen, bathroom, and any other room set a certain mood while reflecting your personal style.

Among homeowners, off-white is a color that’s quite popular. Initially, you might wonder, what is the attraction to off-white? Shades of white might strike you as nothing more than a safe and easy choice.

However, off-white might be an excellent choice for a number of reasons, including the following:

Variety. You might not realize this, but there are dozens of shades of off-white. They vary on a spectrum of darker and lighter, and warmer and colder. They can come with a range of color tints, from faint blues to peach tones. One shade isn’t interchangeable with another.

Flexibility. Because they come in such a variety, shades of off-white can suit numerous architectural styles, cabinetry and furniture colors. They go well with different decor schemes, from more traditional to minimalist and modern.

Richness. Let’s say your initial inclination is to select pure white cabinetry. You might find that in your kitchen, pure white comes across as too stark or clinical – maybe because of its glare in the sunlight or under kitchen lights, or in the way it contrasts with some of the other colors in the room. With off-white, however, you can get a color that’s richer, with less harshness and more depth.

Subtlety. The off-white shade you choose will look different depending on the time of day and the lighting in the room. It can bring out subtle colors in anything from curtains to counters. Furthermore, with off-white, you can give your rooms a sense of airiness, brightness, and spaciousness, even if the space isn’t so large or flooded in light.
