White painted cabinets aren’t always a cold white know you, they also come in a vast assortment of creams and linens and glazes, each oozing warmth and comfort- if you know how to pair it up with everything else that is.  This kitchen featured here above was put together in mostly monochromatic tones.  To keep it from becoming boring, the trick is varying heights, varying tones, and most of all varying TEXTURE.  Different sheens and mattes allude to shades of the same color scheme.  You can play this up in many ways, from the rough stone-like backsplash tile, to the subtle gloss on the countertops (in this case Quartz), to the matte finish of the cabinets.  Lighting is also very important; task, accent and general lighting are all featured in this kitchen.
