Ivory kitchen cabinets are modern, elegant, and a big hit for many homeowners looking at refurbishing or remodeling their kitchens.
The neutral color allows for plenty of pairing options, from gray to cream and even black. You can also choose more striking color choices if you’re looking to make a statement, maybe greens, pinks, or certain shades of blue.
You can use ivory cabinets in bathrooms, utility rooms, and other areas around the home – don’t think the color and design is exclusive to kitchens.
But anyways, this blog post will explain more on what colors go best with ivory kitchen cabinets.
What colors are best paired with modern ivory kitchen cabinets?
As previously mentioned, you have almost unlimited color pairing options when you choose modern ivory kitchen cabinets.
Ivory is an off-white color, paired nicely with grays, blacks, and shades of white. Just avoid using too much ivory or creams, or this may create a clash.
This shade of white (ivory) also pairs very well with more striking colors, such as:
- Pink
- Green
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
You can go two routes when designing your kitchen – you either choose other neutral colors to create a calming and modern vibe, or you can choose more striking colors (your pinks, reds, greens etc.) to make more of a statement.
There is no correct choice – it depends on your taste, creativity, and what you’re looking to create with the space.
After all, the choice is up to you, but we’re confident you’ll make the right choice for your new kitchen design.
What color walls with ivory kitchen cabinets?
Typically, it’s best to choose other neutral colors for the walls in your kitchen.
If you’re still looking to add a splash of color and that statement piece, then leave it for countertops, appliances, and other kitchen accessories.
Choosing a classic white, gray, or even light blue works nicely – opening up plenty of color pairing options.
Alternatively, if you’re going the neutral color route, then a white color is best – it ties everything together, keeps things clean looking, and will attract more natural light for that modern look and feel.
What hardwood floor goes with ivory kitchen cabinets?
These days, there are endless flooring options for your kitchen.
But if you decide to choose hardwood, firstly, good choice, but second, what hardwood floor goes with ivory kitchen cabinets?
We say it’s best to keep it simple.
Choose a hardwood floor color that is either golden brown, classic oak, or gray. You don’t want too many contrasting colors, and you definitely don’t want to match the flooring with the cabinets.
Keep it simple and leave the striking colors for other kitchen accessories, appliances, and general design.
