How do I decide if white kitchens will stay in style?
Trying to decide about painting my oak kitchen white. Will oak ever come back in style? Will white stay in style for at least 5 more years?

If you try to keep up with what color is “IN”, you could be changing the color of your cabinets often. I believe oak is out for quite a while and colors are definitely in. You can’t go wrong with white. Then you can decorate your kitchen in any color you want. The most important thing is what “you” like because you will be living with it every day.
I would not worry about what is in "style". Paint it to please you. White is always in style. Light and bright is always a good look for a kitchen.
Color preferences change every year. You're the one who has to live with it. White is always a good choice. Plus, paint is easily changed.
Hi there, you want us to predict the future, don't you? Although white is the most popular color for kitchen right now, none of us can say what the trend will be. Trends in kitchen cabinets trend to cycle, and wood cabinets will at some point come back around. My guess is that white will be popular for at least the next 5 years, so go for it!
White (or a neutral) is always in style!
Hello Jea
White has been around for quite some time even at a prior residence built in the late 1990s. I do believe it requires more upkeep to keep spotless —keeping fingerprints and spots away. Its difficult to repair- that’s my only hesitation with white after having light and dark wood tones. Currently have white shaker cabinets.
Choose what you like and consider knob changes for updates.
