A white kitchen is a great option for those looking to create a sleek, modern, and clutter-free space. White kitchens have been around since the 1800s but have only recently gained popularity in the past few decades.  

In the past, white kitchens were "too sterile" and "too institutional". However, more people are opting for them now as they can be customised to any style. They also offer a blank canvas perfect for personalising any colour.

Modern white kitchens usually have an open floor plan allowing easy movement. It also features ample storage space to store all your dishes, pots, pans, and other kitchen gadgets so you can find what you need when you need it without any hassle. 

Opting for white kitchen cabinets makes the space feel lighter and more spacious. White cabinets and walls reflect light and, as a result, reduce shadows. This helps give the illusion of an open floor plan, even if your space is on the smaller side.
