Kitchen
Dover White by Sherwin-Williams “The majority of my clients select this soft white for their kitchen cabinet color because it feels white but is not a harsh or antiseptic white,” says interior designer Tracey Stephens, who specializes in kitchen and bath design in northern New Jersey. “It is the ideal warm neutral color because it pairs well with a wide range of tile, countertop and wall colors.”

Schoolhouse-style opaque-glass semiflush mounts are a stunning choice for a white transitional kitchen — or virtually any other decor, honestly. They add sophistication but also appear humble, for a beautiful balanced look that doesn’t scream for attention but also won’t go unnoticed. Plus, they can be quite inexpensive (being made of basic materials) without looking cheap.
Overhead lighting is useful in the kitchen for eliminating shadows and lighting the work surfaces from top down. However, potlights (more properly called recessed downlights) don’t always suit the look, especially in a more traditional space. Also, when you’re adding lights to an existing ceiling, there is not always sufficient cavity space for a recessed fixture. A short flush mount achieves a similar effect, with a less minimalist aesthetic and less invasive construction.
