I love how these homeowners accented their classic white units with bright blue walls, a rustic barn wood range hoot and barstools, as well as bold navy and white striped curtains. Our kitchen layouts are very similar and I think that I would be able to achieve a very similar look by just swapping out paint colors and bringing in a few eclectic accent pieces like the ones in these photos.

I am such a sucker for white kitchen ideas, especially those that incorporate traditional paneled cabinetry and (even better) a shiplap or bead board ceiling. All of these elements are so classic and things like intricate cabinet crown molding or a simple architectural feature on the ceiling never go out of style (not to mention catch the eye of potential buyers like myself). The thing that I think I like most about this kitchen, is the gorgeous all-white Moroccan inspired tile backsplash used throughout the entire space including behind the large range. The intricate glass tile looks fantastic against the traditional white kitchen cabinets ideas that they used and adds a very subtle hint of contemporary style to an otherwise French country chic home.

For any of my clients looking for white kitchen ideas in a modern style, I always direct them to photos of this home in my portfolio. I think the simple lines of the acrylic white kitchen cabinets paired with polished chrome hardware, appliances and light fixtures is an effortlessly chic look that any contemporary decor enthusiast would absolutely love. Of course pairing these items with a simple grey backsplash and granite countertops was a natural choice and something that is very on trend this season. Now if you are not a fan of an all white kitchen like this, you could always bring in some bold pops of color through cool accents like blown glass pendant lights instead of clear fixtures like we used, or artwork and trinkets on the counters and walls.

Some of my favorites white kitchen ideas are ones like these that keep a very simplistic and monochromatic color palette, yet bring in pops of a single accent hue for some visual interest. A bright indigo hue is definitely my go to shade to bring contrast to a modern white kitchen like this one. It maintains a very contemporary look while still being traditional enough to blend well with just about any cabinet or architectural style. The other great thing about using this technique to bring some color to a very neutral room, is that you can swap out these pieces as often or as regularly as you want to change up the look. You could have different kitchen decor ideas on hand for each season or play around with new trendy pieces each time they catch your eye.

I have looked a ton of white kitchen ideas recently, but none of them really inspired me like this cool modern kitchen. We are in the process of converting our old traditional cherry cabinet design into a sleek gray and white kitchen like this. Of course we know that this is a very popular look that it seems like everybody nowadays is doing, so we wanted to add something special that would make our home standout from the rest. The brass accents in these inspiration photos are just what the doctor ordered. The large pendant lights of the island paired with the stunning brass barstools are something so unique and like nothing I have ever seen before. I think that these elements will pair perfectly against the kitchen backsplash ideas with white cabinets and a marble countertop, and make our neighbors green with envy.

White kitchen ideas are some of my favorite because they can absorb nearly any style from contemporary to ultra traditional. I generally prefer white kitchen designs that incorporate elements of both of these styles in order to create a very current and on-trend look. For example, this particular home did a fantastic job with their kitchen design by incorporating popular ship lap accents on the walls, alongside a rustic natural wood island, and modern style light fixture. The dichotomy between all of these elements creates a very unique and visually interesting look that well age well over the years. They definitely picked the best kitchen cabinets as well because the sleek shaker style can be viewed as modern or traditional depending on what you pair with it.
