White kitchens

White is a friendly and bright color that exudes cleanliness and order. White kitchens not only brighten dark rooms, but they also make small rooms feel larger. In addition, the lightest of all colors can be flexibly combined with all other colors. This is probably why white kitchen sets are so popular.

Why do we really like white so much?

We humans associate the color white with purity, light, cleanliness and order, among other things. Good is white, evil is black. Wherever hygiene is required, bright colors predominate. Doctors and cooks wear white clothes. White doves symbolize peace. The ancient Romans already attributed good luck to the color white, calling the lucky one “the child of the white hen.” All positive associations. Therefore, it is not surprising that white L-shaped kitchens are among the most purchased. After all, the kitchen is the place where we spend a lot of time. And white open kitchens radiate a pleasant, friendly atmosphere.

Special effect of a beautiful white kitchen

The great thing about white kitchens is that they suit any room size and orientation. Small kitchen units appear larger with white fronts, especially if they have glossy fronts, which expand the room due to the reflective effect. Does your kitchen face north and therefore have little light? Then a white kitchen will bring brightness and, therefore, coziness to the room. But white also has a positive effect in large kitchens. This makes the kitchen feel spacious, open and friendly. White comes in different shades. If crisp, clean, bright white feels too cold for you, it's best to opt for warmer shades like cream or vanilla.

Combine white with other colors

White is the lightest of all colors and therefore goes well with other colors. Take this opportunity and purposefully create great contrasts. For example, with a dark elegant countertop. Are you in the mood for color? Then add some colored kitchen cabinets. Shades of blue, brown and gray create a sophisticated, calming atmosphere. If you like something more attractive, you can choose, for example, a white kitchen with a red or gray alcove backsplash.

Use kitchen walls for color accents

Apart from kitchen cabinetry, kitchen walls or fixtures offer a great opportunity to introduce color into the kitchen. A particular advantage of this is that the walls can be quickly painted again when one color is enough. On the other hand, replacing kitchen furniture is much more expensive and takes more time. So use this option. Wood also fits perfectly into a white kitchen. Whether the colors are dark or light, wood creates a homey, cozy effect.

White kitchen in classic style

Timeless and at the same time modern. This is what characterizes classic cuisine. What's better than white? This color combines both aspects. It gives the room a cozy feel and at the same time attracts attention. The light gray kitchen worktop and walls in the same soft tone create an elegant contrast with the white kitchen fronts. Small colored shelves soften the ambiance and bring an interesting change to the large white fronts.

Clean lines are very characteristic of designer kitchens. They are extravagant and puristic. White perfectly emphasizes these properties. This island kitchen pictured is all white. No gimmicks, no color accents. The room looks exactly like white. The clean lines are perfectly emphasized by handleless kitchen fronts and high-quality worktops. The result is unique modern elegance!
