White Kitchen

White kitchen designs are always a classic when it comes to home renovation. So when I went to plan my new kitchen, I knew I wanted to have white cabinets. Not only does the color brighten up the space, but white makes for a crisp and clean feel in the room. In my otherwise white kitchen, I wanted to add a slight contrast with a dark wood island and bar cabinet. This is a very fashionable design trend this year and really looks amazing against the white in the rest of the room. Other white kitchen cabinets ideas include adding metallic tones via nickel or brass door handles or even creating a distressed antique look on the wood. I liked the idea of nickel fixtures on the cabinets, it really looks great against the white. My contractor recommended adding a touch of color to the room by installing granite countertops with shades of green and blue. I thought this was a very novel way to add color to the room, and it turned out to be great.

Having a white kitchen is a common and traditional design in most homes. However, not all white shades of kitchen cabinets need to be boring. This homeowner took the simple shades of white and turned it into a beautiful distressed look. By distressing the wood to show natural browns beneath, these now look like marvelous antique white kitchen cabinets. The dark brown appearing through the white paint pulls in the dark shades in the granite countertops for a magnificent traditional feel. The dark tones also appeared in the brown island cabinets for a beautiful contrast. Design trends that are popular this year are white kitchens with islands that are another color. Shades of brown are among the most common island to pair with a kitchen that is primarily white. While shades of light blue, light green, or gray are also favored. This design shows that just because your kitchen is white does not mean you have to have a boring design.

When it comes to a white kitchen, I always like to play around with pattern and texture in order to breakup the neutral space. I have seen so many beautiful white kitchens that really anchor the main living area of the home with their awesome style and inviting decor. This particular space was one of my favorite projects to date because of the awesome white washed beams we installed on the ceiling. Unique touches like this are such an important thing to pair alongside your classic white kitchen ideas or else a monochromatic space like that can tend to look a bit drab or unfinished. Even if the homeowner wants to keep a very neutral color palette, I still incorporate subtle shade changes like a soft grey or muted beige.

I have always been fond of a white kitchen, especially when combined with a modern design. While visiting a local tile shop for ideas to plan my new kitchen, I found this beautiful white and grey marble and used this as the basis for my design. They suggested pairing this marble with grey and white kitchen cabinets to match the modern design I was hoping for. Since the countertops had shades of grey throughout, we thought it would be great to have a gray island cabinet to pull in those tones and white cabinets throughout the rest of the room. Paired with the stainless steel appliances it made for the perfect contemporary design. Modern white kitchen cabinets are gaining popularity in the design world, which made it easy to choose the best style for my home. White is such a universal color that any shade can be paired with it. I chose the chrome fixtures for the cabinets to match the appliances and counters.

My friend just bought a new house and I cannot get over how beautiful her modern white kitchen is. This design takes a unique twist on modern trends by having a primarily white room, but with brown cabinets for a brilliant contrast. Most designers would have opted for white cabinets if their client asked for a white kitchen, but this one chose to do something unique with the cabinets and counters. The island cabinets match the brown in the rest of the kitchen, but the marble countertop extends over the edges of the island making it appear all white. What an extravagant idea. To add to that, they have one of the best kitchen cabinets that are on the market, Brighten cabinetry. These are very durable and last years, not to mention they look phenomenal. Adding to the modern design of the kitchen is the light fixture above the island. It goes great with a kitchen that is primarily white, but adds an eclectic feel.
