Proof That White Kitchens Aren’t Boring
Bright white kitchens remain the color of choice for everything from modern homes to traditional homes. The versatile color (what’s more versatile than white?) is bright and cheery, and anything but boring. Really!
What makes each white kitchen different from the next? Let’s take a look at some modern, contemporary, traditional and cottage kitchens and what makes them all unique.
Modern
There is nothing boring about this stunning modern kitchen. The mirrored effect on the marble backsplash draws the eye in. The marble was left as the focal point, enhanced -but not to be outdone- by the timber countertop and copper lighting. A room like this one shouldn’t be overdone by lots of décor items, it’s better kept simple to best showcase the built-in elements.
Contemporary
A little bit of blue and subtle pattern breaks up this all white kitchen. The dark floors also give the room a natural contrast and it is the rug and window treatments that bring the whole look together. As you can see from the picture, even the starkest of white kitchens will come to life when you bring in all of your kitchen must haves.
Traditional
This traditional kitchen also has a distinct color contrast with the dark wood floors and wood island cabinets. Greens and reds were added with the help of indoor plants and a window figurine as well as fruit baskets.
Stainless appliances keep the room bright and add a hardy functional feature. Stainless or white appliances are the most commonly used appliance colors for white kitchens so that they don’t stick out like sore thumbs.
Cottage
Scuffed up white walls add texture to this cottage style white kitchen. The large planked floor and natural wood framed windows break up the white as does the yellow oven and industrial style table. This small kitchen is room enough for 1-2 people and limited décor. This homeowner keeps life simple with uncluttered countertops and cabinet room for all of the essentials.
