White Kitchens We Love (and How to Design Your Own)

White kitchens are one of the most timeless looks you can choose for your home; they offer a clean, fresh feel that can suit nearly any style. From modern minimalism and classic farmhouse to contemporary designs and more traditional setups, it doesn't quite matter what your style is — there are plenty of white kitchen ideas you can incorporate in your home. White is a versatile color choice (it goes with every other color, after all\!) but using white also creates a bright, airy atmosphere, making even the smallest of kitchens feel more spacious. Quite simply, white kitchens feel clean and look bigger.

The color white can be used in a kitchen through cabinetry, countertops, backsplashes, walls, floors, and accents. Whether you're looking to create a sleek, all-white space or prefer to mix white with natural materials like wood and stone for added warmth, you'll find inspiration to create your own stunning, functional kitchen from these white kitchens.

Tips for Decorating a White Kitchen

Pick the right white. Bring white paint samples into your kitchen to test with light throughout the day and with the room's other existing features.
Choose easy-to-clean materials. Whether you add white to your kitchen through paint or other surfaces, make sure the materials you choose are easy to keep clean to keep your white kitchen feeling fresh, not dingy.
Don't forget to add contrast. Whether that's with striking hardware, tactile texture, or colorful accents, all-white kitchens need a little bit of visual interest to avoid looking boring.

One of the quickest ways to refresh a dated kitchen is with a coat of clean white paint, as seen in this Joshua Tree house. Black knobs and handles add much-needed contrast to the white cabinets, while natural elements like plants and raw wood provide interest.

The minimal and modern kitchen in this Barcelona home feels so clean, peaceful, and refreshing, and that’s largely due to the white color used throughout. But to keep the space from being a total bore, white and gray marble backsplashes and counters mix with ultra-glossy cabinet doors and pops of color through accessories.

The power of white to make a small space feel larger is on full display in this Brooklyn apartment’s tiny kitchen. White walls, cabinets, and tiles all work together to maximize the natural light in the room, but the mix of surfaces and finishes helps keep the small kitchen from feeling too plain.

The airy kitchen in this renovated Milwaukee house is a perfect example of a modern farmhouse look, and it’s achieved thanks to a lot of bright white on surfaces like the walls, ceiling, cabinets, and counters. But copper accents, black hardware, and rough-edged natural wood all combine for a stunning composition.

Minette Hand
This professional organizer went all in with white in her tidy, minimal, all-white kitchen — even the faucet is white! The only real color comes from a fresh green plant, but lots of texture was added by tiling the wall all the way to the ceiling.

The kitchen in this Stockholm apartment is a gorgeous example of how white can look when paired with industrial materials and vibes. Stainless steel appliances and hardware, concrete countertops, and black tile grout give this all-white kitchen an interesting and modern feel.
