White kitchen

[John C S.]

Hi everyone I'm doing a live in flip. And my wife wants a white kitchen. Can anyone give me advice about the selling point of a white kitchen. Would it be a good idea or bad idea. We are going to be living in the house for at least another two years. I would appreciate anyone's thoughts or opinions about white kitchens.   Thanks all

I think white cabinetry is a great idea in properties where the kitchen has a northern exposure and lacks natural sunlight. Anything you could do to brighten up kitchens that are naturally dark is a big plus. If you chose dark cabinets, countertops, etc, you'll need to use more lighting.

If you kitchen had a southern exposure, I'd steer away from white cabinets unless your whole house is designed with distressed white accents, such as casual country, English cottage, etc.
