A light natural wood will never steer you wrong! It goes great with the light and airy feel and looks clean too.
Not into wood? A simple gray or tan can keep your kitchen nice and bright and pair’s nicely with white accents for a timeless feel.

If you are dying for a little color stay on the pale end of things. this light blue is almost white but it’s not! Paired with white upper cabinets and a blue back splash make this kitchen feel colorful, light, and airy.

If you have more of an eclectic style you can use a variation of different natural hues that tie together to complete that bright kitchen you desire.
