Crossover To The Dark Side
I know, I know — white cabinets should mean a white and bright kitchen, but hear us out. White and black look super sleek and sexy together. Feels too formal? Wood accents and exposed brick can change all that.

Organized Clutter
A block of solid cabinets? Bo-ring. These wire-mesh fronts feel far more interesting. The hazy inserts — overlaid with a metal diamond pattern — obscure what's inside, giving a little more organizational leeway.

Fake It 'Til You Make It
White cabinets make a stereotypically small Manhattan cook space feel light and bright, like a larger farmhouse kitchen. Brass hardware and a milk-glass chandelier bounce around even more light.
