Planning a kitchen renovation? Cabinet color makes a bigger difference than you think when it comes to how bright the space feels.
White and light-colored cabinets reflect natural light instead of absorbing it, which means you get more mileage from every window. Dark cabinets can look stunning, but they'll need more strategic lighting to keep the room from feeling closed in.
If you're working with limited natural light, lighter cabinets can save you from needing extra fixtures down the road.
