Kitchen in white design

For everyone, white symbolizes purity and lightness, so a kitchen made in white promises to be a real place of inspiration.

White is the most neutral and simple color, but no other color can visually expand the room so much, reflect light and give a light mood to the hostesses.

The white design of the kitchen can be called a rather bold decision, not only because you will need to keep it clean, but also because all the guests will simply envy and start asking questions about where you saw such an idea, etc. d. Therefore, you will still need to get used to the enthusiastic exclamations of visitors to your kitchen.


If you have already chosen a white kitchen design, you can be sure that it will lift your spirits and inspire you to cook delicious meals every day.

Modern or classic white kitchen?

A white kitchen can come in several styles, so the design simply cannot be boring and faceless. Recently, many more and more often prefer the current modern style.

This style fully reflects the refined taste of the owners of the apartment. You can decorate the interior with white glossy facades that will give freshness and elegance. Thanks to elegant shelves and doors, space expansion and maximum lighting are achieved.

The white kitchen has a popular modern look. This option is characterized by geometric clear lines and right angles.

Do not be afraid of experiments, because only in this way you can achieve maximum harmony. You can turn to metal decor elements, chrome handles or glass details, which will further emphasize that your kitchen belongs to the Art Nouveau style.

However, despite the high popularity of the Art Nouveau style, many still prefer the classic interior of the kitchen.

The white kitchen made of wood will create a favorable atmosphere and harmony in the house. The classic version of the design of the white kitchen will be in demand at any time, as the classic suits absolutely everyone.

There are no annoying decorative elements in the classic style, the lines are not too smooth, but not sharp either, the corners are not sharp, there are no unnecessary roundness. The classic-style kitchen is characterized by softness and warmth, so everyone will feel comfortable.

You can diversify the kitchen with bright countertops or furniture. The most popular are chairs made of translucent plastic with various shades, household appliances in bright colors.

Particular attention should be paid to the curtains, which play an important role in the design of the kitchen. It is also not forbidden to use multi-colored blinds, or photo-blinds, which not only diversify the design, but also give the kitchen a modern and complete look.

Potted flowers can be placed in interesting pots. If home flowers are not available, you can use wall stickers in the form of various flowers and exotic plants.

Bright and intense colors in a white kitchen achieve a play of colors that makes the design more interesting and fashionable.

Wall, floor and ceiling decoration

Having decided on white as the dominant color, you need to decide how to decorate the floor, ceiling and walls of the kitchen room. Many designers recommend the design of these surfaces also in white.

Do not think that you will get too much and the room will look boring. White facades will look graceful and elegant against the background of white walls.

If the kitchen is small or too narrow, then the floor, walls and ceiling should simply be finished in white. Thus, the room will visually expand and will not seem narrow and low.

A The above materials allow wet cleaning. In this regard, washing wallpapers have the greatest number of advantages.

For those who might find white wallpaper boring, there are special stencils with various patterns that can be applied to the wallpaper with special paint. At the same time, the color of the pattern should be in harmony with the color of the countertop or furniture and household appliances.

An increasing number of people prefer decorative plaster when finishing the ceiling. This option not only looks great, but also hides all the flaws of the ceiling: bumps, cracks, depressions, etc.

Decorative ceiling plaster is sold in several types (smooth, corrugated, with a three-dimensional pattern, etc.), so everyone can find the most suitable option.

When it comes to finishing the floor, here you need to proceed from how practical the material will be, because the floor is the most exploited surface of the kitchen.

Ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware are most commonly used. But these materials are not cheap, so self-leveling floors, laminate, linoleum, etc. are popular along with them.

When using porcelain stoneware tiles, you can play with colors: a great option is to combine white tiles with tiles in a bright color that will harmonize with the color of the furniture.

A question of practicality

Many argue that a white kitchen is an irrational solution, because it requires careful maintenance, which will take a lot of time from the hostess.

Of course, absolutely all stains or stains are visible against a white background, so you will have to wipe the surface very often.

However, with the right choice of finishing material, there will be no difficulties with cleaning. Indeed, it is very easy to wash off the stain from washing wallpaper, as well as from wallpaper for paint or decorative wall tiles.

Also, special attention should be paid to the material from which the floor is made. It should not be afraid of moisture and be quite durable.

A white kitchen requires maintenance, but at the same time it gives inspiration and a good mood, thanks to which cleaning will become a joy.

Fashion for white kitchen design

Fashion for white kitchens appeared quite a long time ago, but over the years it has not lost its popularity. New styles are emerging, designers are sharing new ideas and accessories with which to decorate a white kitchen.

In addition, every year there are new finishing materials that allow you to diversify the design.

With any design and availability of a variety of furniture and household appliances, a white kitchen is an interesting option that requires a lot of attention, but gives a lot of positive emotions.
