How to Decorate a White Kitchen: 5 Design Ideas

If you have a white kitchen at home, you're really lucky: it's a spacious area for experiments and a canvas for implementing design fantasies. Look at our examples and get inspired!

Wooden Elements

The combination of white color and wood looks very harmonious and interesting. If you want to add originality to a white kitchen, bring in elements with a wooden texture.

A table in the color of "walnut" here adds warmth and volume to the space. Contrasting with white, dark wood highlights the geometry of the room and accentuates the beauty of vertical lines on the wall.

In this interior, the designer also combined white with the color of natural wood. The result is a very cozy, warm kitchen in a country style.

A stylish and modern solution is to make the lower cabinet doors wooden, and the upper ones white. Or vice versa, as shown in the examples below.

On this kitchen, the abundance of rough wood and the expressiveness of natural stone are balanced by calm white surfaces on the cabinet doors and dining table.

Thanks to the wooden texture of the cabinet doors, the space looks more intimate, and the decor is inviting for rest. It should also be noted that this color is practical: fingerprints won't remain on the doors.

Colorful Accents

To avoid the kitchen interior looking like a solid white spot, it's necessary to place accents and add contrasting colors.

On this kitchen, contrasting countertops, chairs, and appliances add volume to the space, while the combination of matte and glossy textures gives the interior a unique touch.

Regal blue with white — a luxurious combination, timeless classic. Together they create a feeling of freshness, harmony, and tranquility, like by the ocean shore. Here, wood is also present, which warms the cold color palette of the interior.

A bright terracotta apron on this kitchen is the main accent, a focal point of attention. Why not experiment with tile color yourself?

And here is another interesting apron that makes an absolutely white kitchen look elegant and stylish.

And here bright tiles in combination with colored grout look especially unusual and fresh.

Marble

Marble often appears in modern interior projects, and for good reason. Even a simple setup can make it look more luxurious and expensive. Designers use this material almost everywhere: from hallway to balcony. And, of course, in the kitchen.

See how harmoniously a marble-like granite apron fits into a minimalist kitchen. Thanks to this detail, the interior looks expensive and incredibly beautiful.

Colored Metals

Chrome-plated metal elements on a white kitchen can look boring and too traditional. Spice up the white with colored metal — and the interior will gain an elegant look. Gold, brass, copper — there's plenty of room for fantasy here.

But don't mix all metals at once. Limit yourself to one or two. And especially luxuriously, glossy cabinet doors with matte metal elements or vice versa — matte cabinet doors and shiny metal. Contrast is appropriate here too.

Plants

Living plants can make a white kitchen more cozy, break up monochrome, and add color.

Place a couple of plants in pots or cut flowers in a stylish vase on the kitchen and the interior won't seem dull. This is the simplest and most cost-effective way to refresh a white kitchen.
