Best-Selling Cabinet Paint Colours

 

What’s the best paint for kitchen cabinets? Last year, our customers spoke loud and clear: white!

 

If you’re in love with the bright, white kitchen trend, you’re certainly not alone. Four out of the five best-selling cabinet paints at Deslaurier are different shades of white.

 

Think all whites are the same? Think again! This list proves that theory wrong. Be sure to check out the Deslaurier showcase for even more examples of how these whites look in real kitchens.

 

Without further ado, here’s the list of the most popular kitchen cabinet paint colours in our inventory.


#1: Alpine (White)



A whopping 23% of Deslaurier-designed painted cabinets were coated in Alpine White. That’s almost a full quarter of our paint-preferring clients!
