Have you ever noticed the interior kitchen design trends revolving around white in the last few years? An all-white kitchen design provides a clean and elegant style, but if it isn’t designed right, it may resemble something like a sterile and cold laboratory. To avoid this without losing its classic and contemporary feel, we recommend adding a few colors to your design. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Rhode Island, your local kitchen remodeler, shares a few ways to do this:
Make Use of Monochrome
Adding black elements throughout your white layout has been used for many years and works in any kitchen design. A splash of black or any darker tones helps bring out the contrast while also creating more depth when applied to your cabinets, countertops, furniture, or appliances. Marble can also be used if it has silver veins and black veins. You can even apply black chalkboard paint to a feature wall, backsplash, or door for added contrast. Feature walls with wallpaper patterns can also pull other accents together to add more character to your design.
Add More Contrast
Besides black, other colors can also provide contrast to any type of kitchen design. For instance, a combination of wood and metal accents can add warmth to your white kitchen flooring, while wooden cabinets and furniture can complement the white countertops and backsplashes. If you’re going for something more contemporary, you can go for a black range hood with copper metal finishings as a focal point for your all-white design. Of course, your trusted kitchen contractor can also provide a few ideas on how you can incorporate more contrast into your design.
Include Fabric in Your Design
Fabric can be incorporated into almost any design element in your all-white kitchen. You can choose a color scheme and apply it to the upholstery, cushions, and even the bar stools on your kitchen island. You can have drapes, blinds, and curtains in warm colors with a few carpets and rugs to add more depth to your white kitchen floor. You can even consider a few patterns for your color scheme, but only choose the subtle ones that will enhance your overall design instead of overpowering it.
Put a Few Items on Display
When you have open shelving in your plain kitchen, you can easily put different items and objects on display. Whether it’s an old cast iron pan or a modern kitchen appliance, displaying these around your kitchen can make the space more interesting and appealing to your guests and family. Add a little lighting beneath the shelves for added illumination and warmth to the kitchen space.
