I have white trim throughout my home. My kitchen cabinets are
called Opal Oak which is a pinkish white color. I will be replacing
them with a medium cinnamon-oak colored cabinet.

I am at a loss as to whether I should keep the trim white, or just
make it a medium oak color in the kitchen so it matches the bottoms of
the cabinets.

In a way, I think the trim (in the kitchen) will look odd being a
medium oak color because my family room is part of the kitchen area
and it will has white trim now.

Would white trim look bad if my kitchen cabinets are a medium oak color?

Any feedback if greatly appreciated.

Are you really sure you want to base your decision on answers from folks
on an online forum, sight unseen? First of all, it's a pretty subjective
choice, one you'll ultimately have to make yourself. And it's pretty
hard to "see" Opal Oak, "medium cinnamon-oak colored" or any other color
(especially a subtle shade) in a text-based forum.

I'm just sayin' ...

(I do sympathize with you: as a handyman, I'm often asked such questions
("What do you think would look better?"), which I usually try to duck,
explaining that I'm not the one who's gonna have to live with the choice.)

You have a good point - I am the one who will have to live with it.
I think either way will be OK, but I always like different opinions.
I need to bring in friends, and not online folks who can't see the total
layout.

Thanks for your input.
