50 Best White Kitchen Design Ideas
Ausland Interiors
Boring, blasé, blank, lackluster—these are all the not-so-flattering words that may come to mind when you think about all-white kitchens. But, white kitchens don't get the chance to live up to their potential. They are style masterpieces waiting to be uncovered, and both literally and metaphorically provide great blank canvases to craft a space fit for all your cooking, entertaining, and midnight snacking needs.
This goes beyond adding a few decorative objects to your countertops. You can replace your backsplash with a shimmering copper tile accent wall or make it a modern masterpiece with the help of a blue stove or slab of elegant marble. And these are just the very beginning of how you can branch out from those four white walls—or no walls if open concept is your cup of tea.
In fact, you will probably be pleasantly surprised by all the different ways you can make a white kitchen shine, and you'll find 50 such examples below.

Our Modern Farmhouse
If you've lucked out with large windows, take advantage of the natural light that pools in and design around it. This kitchen from Our Modern Farmhouse kept everything bright and white—save for a few grounding touches, which include rustic bar stools, wooden accents, and dark trim lining the windows.

Underwood Design
This cooking space from Underwood Design shows how beautifully black and white balance one another out. By sprinkling in a few touches—think: the sink faucet and chairs and the island—this space gets a whole new layer of dimension.
The tiles behind that frame the stove and the marble countertop also provide a tiny bit of texture that's subtle, but makes a difference.

Living in a home that already has some unique characteristics can be both a blessing and a curse—you want to personalize while keep the integrity of what's already present.
The designers of this kitchen at the Curated Nest have you covered. "When there are architectural details to a kitchen, such as beams, iron windows, you don’t always need to bring in color, the details can stand alone," they explain. "Less is more in this case."
But, what happens if your kitchen doesn't come prepped and primed with unique features? "When designing a less architecturally distinct kitchen, we love incorporating color for cabinets, dark accents, textures like white oak, and contrasting island colors," they say. "One key to success in white kitchen, architectural interest or not, is in adding textures. It's all about layering."

The beauty of a white kitchen means your space is malleable. You'll never be stuck with a palette that's too busy or overwhelmed by color choices or textures. As Interior Impressions explains, choosing all-white cabinets gives you plenty of options in the future.
"We wanted to keep the palette neutral and add pops of color that can easily be swapped out down the road," they say. "We kept the backsplash neutral for the same reason, allowing for accessories to be swapped out and bring in different color schemes."
To avoid feeling too simple, the design company added a swash of blue to this kitchen by coating the pantry door and finding matching bar stools, to boot.

Oftentimes, people may encounter the conundrum of a kitchen that's plenty wide but feels cramped because of vertical space. The antidote for this is incorporating all-white features.
"I selected white for the cabinetry to minimize the contrast between cabinets, walls, and ceiling," Rebecca Johnston of RJohnston Interiors says. "This space is quite large with only an 8’ ceiling and structural challenges that required soffits to enclose steel beams, posts, and plumbing for the bathroom above.
I selected a very light quartzite countertop to minimize the contrast as well."

If Walls Could Talk
A few metallic accents can go a long way, especially if you go with gold. As seen in this gorgeous kitchen from If Walls Could Talk, there's a sprinkling of this regal material in the hardware and on the light fixtures. It adds a sophisticated touch of glam that's hard to replicate in any other way.

Design: Tyler Interiors / Photography: Laura Sumrak
It's hard to believe that Tyler Interiors had few choices when working with this kitchen, but despite the spec builder limitations, this kitchen ended up becoming a Pinterest-worthy space. "The goal was a light and bright kitchen with midcentury modern details," Natalie of Tyler Interiors says. "We further customized with fun pendants and barstools more fitting to their style."

All-white kitchens can feel cold and sterile with the wrong touches.
White is a bright, spacious hue, but it's completely possible to make it cozy and inviting. Wooden details and warm metallic accents are two key ways of doing this, which can be seen in this stunning cooking space.

Design: The High Point House / Photography: Eliza Poe Photography
Some styles—although impeccably trendy—can feel stale fast. If you adore modern farmhouse, for example, but are wary of it feeling outdated, there are many ways you can customize it to your liking.
"The theme for the entire home design was an elevated play on 'modern farmhouse' and we wanted that to shine through in the kitchen while keeping the finishes classic with modern influence," the team from The High Point House says.
How did they make this happen? In several ways, including opting for a unique subway tile pattern, mixing in wood textures, and installing ultra chic pendant lighting.

Sprucing Up Mamahood
Rose gold had a moment in 2018, and it's now making its way back in.
But, rather than coating everything in this pinkish metallic, you can make it look as chic as yellow gold or silver by relying on just a few splashes of it, like Sprucing Up Mamahood did in this kitchen. It provides two major benefits: a playful bit of color and a refreshing touch of texture.

Michelle Gage
The mermaid scale-like tiles in this kitchen from Michelle Gage are enough to convince anyone to add some coastal flair to their cooking space. The array of colors and the unexpected pop of periwinkle around the window make this white kitchen sing siren songs.

Design: Imani James Interiors / Photography: Marc Mauldin Photography
"For this kitchen renovation, we wanted to create a bright and airy feel
in the space," Imani James of Imani James Interiors says. "White kitchen cabinets are such a timeless classic design choice, so we chose Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore for the cabinet color. The cabinets were previously painted off-white, and the walls were a pale lavender-gray hue.
The new wall color is Paper White by Benjamin Moore."
The team also replaced the rustic backsplash that was once there with a refreshing herringbone pattern made up of marble tile. Thanks to the new color palette and extra light from the windows, there was plenty of room for a little stylistic drama. James says that they chose black-and-white tiles, oversized pendant lamps, and artwork sourced from a market in Brazil.

Amhad Freeman Interiors
Those who covet that fully all-white look but are craving some variation amongst the sea of white will find satisfaction in marble countertops and backsplashes. This kitchen from Amhad Freeman Interiors and CW Architects shows how just a few gray veins of marble can every so gently break up a space and provide a fresh finish.

Ashley Webb Interiors
When you're stuck between the open vibes a white kitchen provides and the cozy atmosphere farmhouse and cabin-like spaces give off, you can make the decision easier by combining both.
Ashley Webb Interiors infused lots of wood and warm tones into this room to make it feel inviting without erasing the details that make it feel expansive.

Design: MIF Design / Photography: Linda Pordon Photography
You can still have a spacious feeling kitchen even with a dark accent color, as proven by MIF Design. "In this project, the overall goal was to create a beautiful and timeless kitchen," the team from MIF Design says. "We used the soft white cabinets to create a warm, light, and inviting space. By going darker with the island, we created contrast at the same time, leaving the kitchen feeling bright."

JK Interior Living
This is another perfect example of how you can flawlessly pull off using gold all throughout a kitchen. The thin lines of it that can be seen framing the cupboards, wrapped around the chairs, and on the sink faucet in this space by JK Interior Living infuse some glimmer without being overbearingly shiny.

Practical Designs
Wood is often reserved for cabinets, flooring, and countertops, but if you're looking to change things up—especially in an all-white kitchen—you can have some fun with where you place different textures and materials. In this kitchen from Practical Designs, a panel above the range top makes for an eye-catching bit of detail.

Full Heart at Home
You can instantly warm up a white kitchen by going down the warm paint route. This creates a creamy, cozy base from the get go.

Adventures in Decorating
Even smaller kitchens can feel spacious when you choose a color like white and don't stray too far from it. Adventures in Decorating shows how keeping features like your shelving and cupboards bright white too can enlarge your walls and expand your space from floor to ceiling, even if it is more of an illusion.

Country Girl Home
The beauty of design today is that you never have to be boxed in by one style. If you love modern and rustic looks, you can incorporate elements of both for a blended kitchen that feels fresh and contemporary in its own unique way. Country Girl Home, in particular, included farmhouse-style chairs but selected modern vases and an all-white palette to keep it feeling fresh.

Bailey Ward Interiors
One exciting way to play up a white kitchen is by tweaking the shapes used throughout the space. If squared off cabinets are the frame of the room, then play with rounded lines by constructing an archway over the stove or curving the island, like Bailey Ward Interiors did here.

Christina Kim Interior Design
If cozying up with a cup of coffee in the morning while bathing in the morning light sounds like something out of your own kitchen dreams, there are a few things you can do to make sure it happens.
"For my own kitchen, I chose white cabinetry because I wanted to take full advantage of the beautiful south-facing light," Christina Kim, owner and principal of Christina Kim Interior Design, says. "I chose a creamy white in favor of a bright modern one to create a soft pretty glow. This subtle white allows the natural light to be the star of the show."

Mani Tagba / Afro Bohemian Living
While white can be used to make a room stand out, it also excels at helping a space blend in. "Our white kitchen was built by ourselves. I chose white because we have an open living, kitchen, dining area and I didn't want to draw all the attention to the kitchen," Mani Tagba of Afro Bohemian Living says.
The cooking space is gorgeous on its own, but still fits in beautifully with the rest of the house.
24 of 50
Arditi Design
Also on the list of things you can do with a white color palette in your kitchen is break up space and draw boundaries.
"We chose to go with a white kitchen in our recent Park Slope project to balance the vibrant color and texture of the living room wallpaper against the crispness of white shaker cabinets," Rozit Arditi of Arditi Design explains.

West of Main Design
Black and white are a classic color combination, but if you're in search of a deep, saturated contrast that isn't quite as dark, copy the likes of this kitchen, courtesy of West of Main Design. The dark wood floors, bar stools, and black island topper perfectly greet the surrounding snow-white ceilings, walls, and cabinetry.

Design: Justin Q. Williams / Photo: Sean Cason
An all-black kitchen is equally as stunning as an all-white one, but if you'd like to infuse some dark shades into a light room, start simple. "Since this home allows for very little natural light in the kitchen I wanted to bring in white cabinetry against a white backsplash for not only a bright space but also a classic look," designer Justin Q.
Williams says.
He explains that his client was rather conservative, but he managed to keep a modern feel throughout with the help of a few stylish touches. "I selected a black grout—definitely a hard sell for him, but he trusted my judgment—and the herringbone tile pattern. This presents a modern bright space that’s both interesting and highly functional, which is what’s most important."

Hibou Design & Co.
"We adore specifying white kitchens because they are timeless and always make for the perfect backdrop for any focal point," the team at Hibou Design & Co. says. They explain that although words like "boring" get thrown around when thinking about white kitchens, they're so easy to dress up and down.
For this particular kitchen, the firm wanted to prioritize the picturesque scenery outside. "We chose white in this project to maintain the lightness and cohesiveness throughout the main floor with being open concept onto the dining living space and not to distract that natural flow or distract from the backyard views.
"

Michelle Berwick Design
To make an icy kitchen pop, don't be afraid to call in some color. "Crisp, clean, classic, and never goes out of style, white kitchens have been a go-to and client request for years and will continue to be," Michelle Berwick of Michelle Berwick Design says. "Our approach to an all-white scheme? Keep it interesting."
She suggests implementing textures and materials that keep the space flowing, which can be seen through the use of an elegant, yet vibrant floral fabric in this kitchen.

Design: Julia Alexander Interiors / Photography: Snook Photography
Warm tones may be a hit for some, but what about the cooler white counterparts? They set the groundwork for a stunning backdrop that still allows for customization. "We chose an off-white as this is a mid to high-end rental property," Julia Alexander of Julia Alexander Interiors says. "We kept it timeless, neutral, and fresh for renters to add their mark.

Leah Alexander of Beauty is Abundant loves each part of this kitchen design.

Arbor & Co.

Domm Dot Com
Brushed, metallic, matte, luster—no matter what finish you select for your kitchen, many people stray from mixing them. Domm Dot Com's blending of textures is enough to convince anyone to do the same. Here, the matte, off-white cabinets are a fabulous variation from the shiny white backsplash and metallic stainless steel appliances.
34 of 50
Gray Space Interiors
If black is too bold but color doesn't suit your tastes, then you'll never go wrong with affixing gray tones around your kitchen. Gray Space Interiors' choice of gray tile, stone counters, and light mist-colored paint soften the room without needing to break out a warmer selection of colors.
35 of 50
House Sprucing

36 of 50
House of Chais
It's easy to turn to deep, dark shades when looking to dress up a white kitchen, but why not play with nearly-white colors? The sky blue and pastel pink featured in this kitchen designed by House of Chais would look far paler in more colorful rooms, but they gently stand out in a kitchen that's made up of mostly white.
37 of 50
Sarah Fultz Interiors

This cooking space embraces grays, icy whites, and even a touch of purple that all appeal to a Scandi vibe.

Finding Lovely

White kitchen today is a popular, trendy solution. However, not everyone decides to create it. After all, there are those who are very confused by the soiling of color. Someone doubts that the kitchen will look too strict or pale. There are many such stop factors. In this article, we will try to eliminate them. After all, it's all about getting it right!
Let's look at white from different angles
No, it's not about the shades and not about the peculiarities of the lighting effect. And that color is something more than just a tool used in the work of a designer. For example, in therapy there is a whole area dedicated to color and its effect on a person - color therapy. And then there is such a thing as the psychology of color. nine0003
What do you associate with white? Among the many definitions that come to mind, first of all, I want to list innocence, openness, lightness, perfection, rigor. This color may well take on the role of a symbol of these concepts.
How does the color white affect a person?
Gives hope, a feeling of freedom, complacency, inspires, pacifies, relieves various negative emotions.
Trendy white kitchen interiors
White kitchens have been at the top of fashion trends for a relatively long time. This does not prevent them from remaining in the same place today. Styles change, designers come up with new accessories, embody their ideas and white kitchens continue to inspire them.
And almost every year, new items appear on the materials market, helping to diversify the interior well.
Such kitchens are less in demand in Russia than in other countries. This can be related to the mentality of our people. After all, as we mentioned earlier: many people think that maintaining cleanliness in such a kitchen is worth a lot of work. nine0003
And abroad they don't worry about this issue so much.
But despite all the prejudices, the interior of a white kitchen in a modern style is a great choice!

ru Countertop Cedar 727/1 White granite White kitchen - practical or not?
According to a fairly large number of people, the design of the kitchen in white is the wrong choice, because such a room will need frequent and rather thorough cleaning. Not everyone has time for this. nine0003
We will not deny that spots and stains are clearly visible against a white background, because this is true, and the surface will need to be wiped quite often.
But much in this moment depends on the materials used. It is quite possible to pick them up so that cleaning does not cause any problems and discomfort. For example, if you paste over the walls with wallpaper that can be washed or lay everything with decorative tiles.
The material from which the floor is made must be chosen with particular care. It should have a high level of strength and not be afraid of moisture. nine0003
Of course, stylish white kitchens require maintenance, but they also guarantee you a great mood and inspiration that makes cleaning a joy!
Secrets of keeping white kitchens clean
Often, owners of white kitchens wonder why a recently sparkling white surface becomes yellowish over time? The answer is simple - it is the influence of the rays of the sun! And to prevent such a problem from occurring, hang some beautiful protection on the windows - curtains or blinds.
