Beautiful cream kitchen ideas
Warmer than a brilliant white, cream can be a beautiful, calming colour for a kitchen - a perfect vibe for the hardest-working room in the house. Here are some creamy kitchen cabinet ideas - both traditional and contemporary - to inspire you.
Cream kitchen cabinets
Cream cabinet fronts can act as a neutral base for a colour pops and contrasts, or they can be the star of the show in a calm, all-cream kitchen. After colour, the two big decisions on cabinets are whether to go for a traditional in-frame style such as Shaker, or a modern frameless look; and whether to go for handles, which are a great for colour and detail, or for sleek handleless doors and drawers.
Cream Shaker kitchens
The Norfolk Vicarage kitchen is a bespoke Shaker kitchen in soft neutrals, light oak colours, creams and - for contrast - a black AGA. With its mix of in-frame Shaker cabinetry and contemporary touches like the 'cocktail corner' and smoothie-making area, it's a beautiful blend of the traditional and the new.
Modern cream kitchens
The Scandi-influenced Glaven kitchen is sleek, functional and modern. The island and tall cabinets are painted in Naked Kitchens' Seal Pup White colour and the combination with the brushed limed-grain oak feels calm and contemporary, minimalist but with a soft, creamy edge.
Traditional country cream kitchens
Creamy Shaker cabinets and drawers, beading and cornices, exposed oak details and traditional corbels and shelves above an AGA - the Raynham kitchen delivers the farmhouse look, while still being a beautifully light, airy and functional space.
