White Cabinets with Black Hardware: Trends We Love

Farmhouse and minimal kitchen designs are very popular. These trending designs lend themselves towards painted cabinets. Wellborn Cabinet attributes 50% of our painted cabinet sales to white finishes.  In fact, we have an entire paint room dedicated only to our Glacier White finish. The benefit of having a clean slate is that you can choose whatever hardware you desire to accentuate your space. White cabinets with black hardware is one way to accomplish that look. Oil rubbed bronze helps bring out a more classic look, while black hardware creates a minimal and sleek look. The beauty of an all white kitchen is that the kitchen cabinet ideas are endless. 

If you have a U-shape, L-shape, open concept, or galley kitchen, the crisp lines of a white door will help open up the space and give you a world of ideas. 

Choosing The Right White Kitchen Cabinets With Black Hardware For Your Style

Most home owners and designers opt for a classic door style when pairing them with black hardware.  Whether the decision for the hardware is a matte metallic, both will last for life.  They also blend well with appliances, décor, and other trends. If you’re looking for farm house style, a shaker door is an excellent way to go. It will pair with darker hardware and provide a country feel.

Try Shaker Cabinets For a Timeless Look

Shaker style cabinetry can provide a variety of looks that will give your home versatility for years to come. By simply adjusting your cabinet hardware, you can create different design styles without refacing your cabinets. Interior designers often opt for a shaker door style because of its ability to last with the homeowner’s changing tastes. A simple change of hardware years down the road can help you retain your cabinetry yet achieve an entirely new look.  Below, you’ll see that shaker style cabinetry can be anything from cozy farmhouse to sleek and modern.  

Our Hanover door style in Character Maple finished in Divinity with a Java glaze brings a warm classic look to this smaller L-shaped kitchen area. The differing hardware shapes are intentional. Since the drawers are a slab style, a sleek hardware design is minimalist for functionality.  The shaker style Hanover cabinetry is complimented with a more intricate knob that only emphasizes the beauty of the kitchen. 

Another shaker style, our Prairie door style in Maple with a Divinity finish, shows the versatility of a white cabinet with dark hardware. This kitchen is a perfect example of sleek and modern while providing functionality. 

Our Hanover door style with slab front drawers in Maple are beautifully finished in Bright White.  This is yet another reason why shaker style doors are so easily paired with any hardware in almost any space. The dark hardware is so versatile that it completes the galley style kitchen for both the Bright White and the island in the darker Drift stain.
