68 options with photos of modern interior design

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

And, of course, do not forget about timely cleaning - that is, immediately after cooking has been completed. Moreover, in this case, the stains will be much easier to eliminate than when they have time to harden and dry.

Always switch on the hood at the very beginning of the cooking process. It will help to eliminate even the smallest particles settling on white surfaces.

Clean the headset monthly with warm water and soapy water. And don't forget to wipe it dry afterwards.

Are the tile joints dirty? Use a paste containing vinegar and soda to clean them.

Advantages of kitchen design in white with photo examples

1) Appliances and kitchen utensils look great with white, as both light and dark shades look harmonious with it;

Photo from the source: jkuhnya.ru Countertop Cedar 7051/Q Umbria dark

2) The lighter the shade of white, the wider the space decorated with it will appear. Thus, the lightest shades of white will be most useful and appropriate in mini spaces. They will make the kitchen elegant and spectacular.

On the shortcomings of white in the design of the kitchen

Everything in the world is not without flaws, including beautiful white kitchens - practicality is at a low level.

The kitchen is a room shared by all family members. In addition, cooking itself - an activity that is not conducive to maintaining cleanliness, because it involves splashing fat, boiling water, food particles, etc. In general, there will be a lot of pollution that needs to be eliminated.

How many shades does white have and how to use them when decorating a kitchen?

What would a white kitchen look like? The photos and references that you see in various print and online interior design publications prove that a white kitchen can be very different! This applies not only to the choice of style, but also to the shade. The latter, by the way, plays a huge role in how warm, cozy, stylish your kitchen space will turn out.

Let's take a simple example. If the interior style is conceived as a classic, then the best choice for a shade of white will be: cream, linen, beige, antique white.

By the way, any combination of them with each other looks great. The result is a very solemn, open and elegant kitchen space.

White is not an easy color to apply. When decorating a room with this color, it does not hurt to be careful, because if you use it in too much quantity, the space may not be psychologically very comfortable.

Not to mention that white is a great background color. And it does not matter at all what style you choose in order to decorate the kitchen.

Blue + white

This color combination is also a classic, but will be most pronounced in Art Deco kitchens. To make such a space visually “warmer”, you can dilute it with golden elements. It can be decorative elements or accessories.

If you make all the bottom modules blue and the top ones white, you get a great balance in the style of English country or coastal.

White countertops made of stone or its high-quality imitation, which, for example, are available in the catalog of the Kedr factory, will look great.

How to finish the walls, ceiling, floor surface?

White kitchen is a set and a room as a whole. Therefore, choosing white as the main color, you need to understand how to make the floor, ceiling and walls. Most designers are of the opinion that these surfaces should also be painted white. White facades against the background of the same walls will look especially elegant. And it will also help the room visually become wider - so that the ceilings do not seem low, and the room is narrow.

If white wallpaper for wall decoration still seems too boring for you, you can use special stencils, painting with them all the necessary places using paint of a different color. It is important that the latter has something in common with some colors that are already present in the interior. For example, the colors of appliances, facades, countertops, etc.

White decorative plaster can be used for the ceiling. She does an excellent job of visually eliminating flaws.

Types of this plaster - with a three-dimensional pattern / smooth / corrugated, etc. Use the option that you liked the most.

Stretch ceilings, of course, have not been canceled either.

If we talk about finishing the floor, then when choosing a material, you need to rely, first of all, on the degree of its practicality, because most of all in the kitchen "gets" not only the countertop, but, above all, the floor.

Perhaps the best options for flooring materials are porcelain stoneware and ceramic tiles. This is where the color play comes into play. You can create many interesting options. For example, use white tiles and colored ones that are in harmony with other interior details.

Lighting features

Good arrangement of lighting fixtures - what is it like in a white kitchen? Here it is important to achieve a space that is flooded with light. White will not tolerate darkness. He loves bright lighting around the clock. Therefore, the right decision would be the installation of spotlights in large quantities.

However, it should be noted that such a technique will look great in modern interiors, but not in classic ones. If you have a classic in your kitchen, you can equip wall sconces instead of spotlights.

Natural light is also very important. It should not be forgotten and should be used to the maximum.
