25 Yellow And White Kitchens That Raise The Mood
Though we are living in hard times, we can raise our mood with some means we have at hand. As we all stay home right now, this should be a pleasant place to stay and making it better, giving it color for interest will make your spirits high. Renovate your kitchen in a yellow + white color scheme to make it airy, bold, welcoming and mood-raising.
Color Scheme
Decide how much color you want – this is the most essential point. If you feel like super bright shades, prefer lemon yellow and sunny yellow as the main color and then just dilute it with whites and neutrals. If you aren’t sure about brights, go for white as the main color and then just add bright accents. Besides, you can try your shade on something small first or just buy some accessories in this color. To add drama, include graphite grey or black – they work well with both colors and will bring a necessary bold touch. For a natural feel, prefer natural wood and plywood, they will soften the contrasting combo and give a contemporary feel to the space.

Furniture And Accessories
Two tone kitchens are all the rage right now, and if you feel like it – go for yellow and white cabinets – upper or lower, it’s up to you.
If you have only lower cabinets, choose one color and don’t mix them up. If you already have a white kitchen and want to turn on the brights, add yellow or mustard with some touches and accessories: a Smeg fridge or cooker, towels, lamps and cookware. Refresh your space with much natural light – such a kitchen should be filled with it and voila! You will never get upset looking at such a kitchen!

The 15 Best Yellow Paint Colors to Give Your Rooms Just the Right Glow
Yellow kitchen - 60 photos of impeccable design ideas
cuis warm, sunny and joyful atmosphere, designers very often use it as a background color in living spaces.
Recently, you can find a kitchen in yellow colors. nine0005
Why yellow?
Yellow is the most suitable color for the kitchen, because it causes appetite, charges with positive, positively affects the intellect and improves tone.
If the kitchen is located on the north side, then the yellow color will make the room lighter, warmer and more comfortable.
In addition, different shades of yellow can affect the visual perception of the room. So, with the help of light shades of yellow, you can visually make the space larger. At the same time, the yellow color itself gives volume to objects without weighing them down. nine0005
Which shade to choose
Yellow shades come in three categories: classic, natural shades, bright, saturated colors and light pastel undertones.
Classic, natural shades including straw, mustard and sand. This color palette is perfect for a classic kitchen style. These shades do not cause irritation even in large quantities.
Bright, intense colors: Lemon, curry and egg yolk colors can be spectacular interior details, but the abundance of bright colors can be annoying. nine0005
Light, pastel undertones, such as cream and champagne, harmoniously fit into the interior of any orientation, do not bother and do not cause irritation.
Yellow/White
The yellow/white combination is classic and is great for classic kitchens as well as modern interior designs.
However, this combination requires a balance, namely, if you use a light shade of yellow, then it will balance the same amount of white. nine0005
Bright shades can only be used as an accent, so gray can also be added to balance the color scheme.
Yellow-white with black
The interior design of the kitchen in black-white-yellow palette allows you to make a bright room of a modern direction.
Yellow and Black
Stylish combination of black and yellow is a great option for a minimalist kitchen.
nine0005
Optimum light yellow wall space and black kitchen unit.
Yellow with brown
It is very convenient to combine brown with yellow, because any shade of yellow goes well with any shade of brown.
This combination is natural and is usually used to design a kitchen in an aristocratic and classic style, and if bright accents are added to this combination, then this tandem can be used in modern design. nine0005
You can also dilute the yellow-brown range with a noble beige color. It goes well with a yellow-brown palette of white, as well as gray.
Yellow with gray
Refinement of taste will emphasize the yellow-gray interior of the kitchen. If you use pale shades of these colors, you get an elegant classic-style kitchen, and if you use rich shades, then a modern or minimalist kitchen will become more spectacular.
If you have a small kitchen space, then it is better to stick to pastel undertones that will visually expand the space and, conversely, in large kitchens you can afford to use brighter colors.
Yellow with blue
Any shade of blue will perfectly complement yellow. However, this combination is best diluted with white or a warm shade of beige.
In any case, yellow is suitable for the kitchen, making it brighter and more interesting. therefore, designers recommend not to be afraid and use yellow in the design of the kitchen. nine0002

Why it is worth buying a white-yellow ceiling-mounted kitchen: photo
A kitchen with ceiling-mounted mezzanines is very roomy.
On the top drawers you can hide things that you rarely use. When you need them, you don't have to look for them in the pantry. It is enough to open the desired box, get the item. The doors close automatically (the whole kitchen is on closers), so they will close themselves.
Facade
Facade - MDF, environmentally friendly material, resistant to mechanical stress, temperature extremes. It has permeable properties, does not deform if you forget to wipe water from the surface. nine0005
The plate in the photo is covered with matte enamel, so the combination of colors blends gently into the interior design of the kitchen. Glare is not reflected from the surface, does not depress the psyche.
Fittings
Fittings from the Austrian company Blum are of high quality. The hinges are securely attached to the walls of the facade, equipped with breeders. The drawers close quietly, there is no risk of chipping.
Drawers
Firmax tandebox drawers, the side walls of which are reinforced with metal stakes, are not afraid of deformation.
They can withstand a load of 50 kg, so you can hide very heavy things in the headset. nine0005
Tanbedox drawers are equipped with a system that allows them to fully slide out of the headset, as shown in the photo. Therefore, you can easily reach items located in hard-to-reach places.
Countertop and sink in interior design, photo
Countertop with sink made of artificial stone. The material is durable, scratch-resistant, withstands temperatures up to 115°C. However, if you want to prolong its life, we do not recommend placing dishes that have just been removed from the fire on the stone. Place a rubber or silicone mat under it. nine0005
Additional accessories in interior design, photo
The working area is illuminated by a backlight, which facilitates work in the dark. Part of the tabletop is located near the windowsill, which provides additional lighting. The kitchen comes with a dryer, a tray for cutlery, so you don’t have to go shopping, look for where to buy the necessary accessories.
