I love white in everything, from clothes to home decor. My favorite kitchen color is white kitchen; white cabinets, white counter top and white floor. It’s classic, elegant, looks clean and I can see where needs to be cleaned. But when it’s too white, the kitchen looks cold and uninviting, like this.

To create a warmer look, add a contrast color to the design. It can be simply done by adding a pot of herbs and/or a bowl of fruits on the counter, create a hanging garden above the kitchen island, like this and use different color for the biggest part of the kitchen like floor, back splash and/or the wall, or use different color of counter top for the island. This picture below is one of my favorite designs and it basically includes all the elements that I mentioned. If I would change it, I would just add cabinet door and drawer pulls/knobs.

I like the contrast color on this one, it has all the things that I mentioned. The only thing that I don’t like is the counter top color is too dark. Yes, dark would hide all the dirt but it also makes it harder to see where to clean.

What is your favorite kitchen design?
