Why You Should Choose White Oak Cabinets

These days, white oak is often overlooked because homeowners think the material looks outdated. However, designers agree that this type of wood is robust, versatile and elegant. Updating your kitchen with white oak cabinets can give it a trendy, modern vibe – making it an excellent alternative to your usual deep-hued oak cabinets. 

In this post, here are the main advantages of white oak cabinets.

  • Durable: White oak is more durable than many other types of hardwood, boasting a hardness score of 1360. It is an excellent choice for high-traffic kitchens where cabinets are usually prone to scratches. White oak cabinets can maintain their classy appearance because of their durability.
  • Diverse: Lighter hue colors – such as that of white oak – pair with black appliances well because of the contrast they create. That said, if you are designing a modern kitchen, you should consider white oak for your cabinets. Wheat and green-brown are the two color tones of white oak. These go nicely with contemporary designs that use neutral hues.
  • Exquisite: White oak comes in appealing grain patterns. To create natural-looking finishes, experts add dots to straight-grain boards with the help of rift-cut milling and quarter sawing.
  • Versatile. White oak has a wide range of applications. Its delicate appearance is particularly appealing in modern kitchens, where it may be used to replace white-painted cabinetry to provide a touch of warmth. Then, consider combining white oak cabinets with a stand-out backsplash or a contrasting island for more impact. White oak kitchen cabinets may also be stained to give them a unique look.
