White kitchens

Create a bright white kitchen

A white kitchen is a great option for those looking for a clean and visually uncluttered look. Opting for white kitchen cabinets makes the space feel lighter and more spacious. The white cabinets and walls can reflect light and, as a result, reduce shadows. This helps give the illusion of an open area, even if your space is on the smaller side.   

In the past, white kitchens were considered "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 that is perfect for personalising.

Two toned kitchens

A white kitchen is the perfect starting point if you want to bring a secondary colour into your design. Incorporating another colour into your white kitchen design is a terrific way to create more interest.

Here are some ways you can do this: 

• Use the other colour for accents, such as trims or accessories. 
• Use white for all of the cabinets against a wall and use a different colour on your kitchen island.
• Use a darker colour for your base cabinets and keep your upper cabinets white to create a bright and airy feel in your kitchen

Finishing touches

Choosing worktops

Almost any worktop can work with a white kitchen, but we recommend either a light colour to compliment the white cabinets, or go much darker with a grey or black worktop. Stone and laminate worktops are a classic durable choice. Or add a bit more warmth to your kitchen with a butcher block or wood finish laminate worktop.

Choosing appliances

White or stainless steel appliances work perfectly with a white kitchen. The white will blend in seemlessly, while the stainless steel is a staple for any kitchen.

Choosing hardware

Knobs and handles in cool and warm metals work beautifully against a light background. Or choose black handles for contrast.
