Also one photo gives you a more wider view of the kitchen and one photo is more of a close up shot.
Black or white cabinets.
This can be both timeless and fresh and as an overall approach will never go completely out of style.
For a large kitchen with many cabinets consider placing an island with black cabinets in the center and then make the rest of the cabinets white.
Overall a white or light kitchen will evoke a clean and sanitary look.
I think it s because the design above looks very modern y to me maybe it s the handles on the cabinets.
I m surprised to say that because i much prefer white usually especially in farmhouse design.

My large island is antiqued white cabinets with black granite.
I also have a section with open shelves and some with glass fronts and a copper sink.
Since cabinets take up a lot of visual space a lighter colour for the cabinets helps give a more expansive feel.
This will give you a clean contemporary look without going totally dark or overwhelming the senses.
My permeter cabinets are antiqued black which softens things.
My current kitchen has white upper and lower cabinets with a black stove and dishwasher.
The photo of the white cabinets just does not look as appealing especially since the refrigerator looks awkward in the space.
A splash of color like red mixed in with the black makes for a dramatic fun look as well.
I much prefer the black.
Whereas the refrigerator with the black cabinets looks more built in.
Six years later i still love it.
We are building a house right now and we plan to put white upper cabinets and stained black lower cabinets in the kitchen.
My walls are also a bright turquoise.
The white just looks cheap to me.
