White color is basic and universal. This is the color of purity, spaciousness and lightness, which can visually enlarge the room and advantageously beat the space. Experts know how great it can be to hide flaws and emphasize the benefits of both large and small or narrow kitchen. A decent pair of this classic color will play the appropriate style, and today we will talk about how to fit the white color into the classic interior, how to maintain the color balance, and make sure that even so sharply fashionable color solution fits into the classic interior of your kitchen. To help you - our tips and specially selected photos.
Classic in the kitchen in white - yes or no?
Often we try to reflect our character in the interior. So, the classic design will suit people who honor family values, traditions, value constancy and stability. Classic-style kitchen design requires:
- reliable natural materials;
- discreet colors;
- strict traditional forms or vice versa frilly decor.
White color in the interior of a classic kitchen:
- it will soften and ease the “ceremonial”, pretentiousness and conservatism of the classics;
- visually increase the space;
- will add light to dark kitchens located on the north side.
What about cons? It is considered that the design of the kitchen in a classic style is appropriate in medium-sized or large-sized kitchens with high ceilings, because the massive forms inherent in the classics conceal space in a small kitchen and do not look so impressive. Take a look at the photo, how well you can fit a classic style in small kitchens.
The costs that one has to face while setting up a classic kitchen also frighten many. Natural quality materials and elegant furniture - where can I get this if the budget is strictly limited? Fortunately, today there are materials that perfectly imitate wood of any texture and color, for example, fiberboard or MDF without gloss or veneered materials.
Another point, embarrassing for many - is the myth about the margins of the kitchen of white color. Let's see to what extent this is true, and to what an exaggeration?
- Yes, really light color, for example, the floor requires a "double cleaning". But for the facades of the kitchen set, apron and walls, the white color does not lose in practicality to other shades, and on the dark surface stains and stains are visible even more.
- In addition, the margins of light furniture and decoration depends more on the materials and their texture.
- It is important to remember that the kitchen of any color requires regular cleaning. Of course, if you are parents of small children or you have pets at home, it will be somewhat more difficult to maintain order.
Finishing floors, walls and ceiling in the classic white kitchen
WALLS: Undoubtedly, in the classic white kitchen walls should be solid.For decoration are used as wallpaper, and plaster, stucco or decorative panels. A dim pattern or ornament is allowed, and in a large white kitchen you can even cover a part of the wall with a mural with suitable motifs (scroll the photo to the right).
A more antique-classic version is covering the walls with a cloth or drapery, but for the kitchen it is an unaffordable luxury, but for the dining room such a whimsical decoration is quite suitable. With the dominant white color in the interior, it is necessary that the walls still differ at least by one or two tones, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid the effect of sterility.
FLOOR: The classic design does not obligate to the parquet on the floor, because in such a room as a kitchen, wood is not the most practical flooring. And yet it is the wooden floor that will create an atmosphere of "frozen time", typical of the classics.
As a budget and practical alternative to a massive floor fit and simple linoleum or laminate.
More democratic and durable option would be porcelain stoneware or ceramic tile, which can be black and white, "under the stone" or with a "wooden" pattern.
CEILING: In classic style - classic solutions. Therefore, it is assumed that the ceiling should be whitewashed. If desired, it can be decorated with stucco, painting or moldings on the perimeter, but it is important not to overdo it! Typical for classics and a ceiling like a country house - lath, coffered or decorated with decorative wooden beams. False ceilings - the choice is more modern, but also allowed. We offer you a look at the beautiful finishes on white kitchens in a classic style.
Companion colors for classic white cuisine
In order to “revive” the white kitchen a little and dilute its “sterility”, it is necessary to choose companion colors and interior items that will add comfort and a sense of habitability. One of the most luxurious - a combination of white and gold. In order that the design does not look too pretentious, gold finish can be used only in details: gilding on the handles and patina on the facades will be a spectacular but restrained accent. Bronze will look more modest than gilding, so you can choose: a bronze faucet, a chandelier, appliances and furniture with bronze fittings.
IDEA: An option for craftsmen - an ordinary white MDF headset is easy to turn into a classic, “aging” its patina.
Another successful and classic combination - white with black.
Incredibly stylish looks white set with a black worktop and / or apron. The photo below shows the interiors of white classic kitchens with a working area in black color of tiles, porcelain, natural, artificial stone and chipboard.
Brown, as the color of the tree, is also one of the most traditional companions of white in the classic interior. But brown can be not only wooden items, it can be brown marble (as in the photo below), tiles on the floor or in an apron and textiles.
In general, almost any shade of natural range, as well as discreet tones will successfully accompany the white classic kitchen. Try to avoid the two extremes - monochrome and too many different colors in accents. You can see successful examples in photos and design projects selected by us.
Tips for decorating and decorating
- It is better if the home appliances will be hidden behind the facades, so that modern surfaces do not violate the overall style. Or you can choose a technique in retro style.

Glossy furniture can additionally reflect the light - use it in small areas.

- Textiles on a white kitchen in a classic style should be monophonic or with natural motifs made from natural materials. Relevant look pelmets and another optional décor. Curtains can be: Roman, rolled, Austrian, and classic to the floor. Textile color can be accent or neutral. The photo shows some ways to design the window, different types of curtains and their combination with each other.

The idea of a classic kitchen design, impressed! White color, always looks elegant and remarkably in harmony with any shades! Original!
All the same, the white shades of the kitchen are more suitable for a country house than for the apartments of the metropolis.
But, basically, not all have big kitchens in their houses, white will not harmonize everywhere !.
I believe that the white color in the kitchen will fit into any interior, especially
in those kitchens where there is little space, only the price of such repairs scares you if
take all natural.
I learned for myself new colors: eggshell and creamy. We plan to go to order the facade of the classic kitchen, you will need to ask to add a little shade to white. All the same, the submitted kitchen format is the most elegant and dignified.
White color for the kitchen is suitable like no other. This is freshness and clarity, and working with food in such conditions is just perfect. But scary cleaning the room. We spend most of our time in the kitchen, and while cooking, it’s not possible not to get the interior dirty. Only snow-white lockers very quickly change their novelty with frequent washing.
I like the kitchen design in white, especially if the kitchen is small or it is located on the north side. It is easy to detect dirt on the white color, so this kitchen will emphasize the cleanliness of the hostess. I am a supporter of the classic options is at all times and changes in fashion.

Thanks for the opinion, come to us again)
I will agree. White color, as noted, is ideal for dining rooms, where guests are invited and where the whole family gathers at a single table. But for a “working” kitchen, it is better to choose muted or bright colors, so that there are no noticeable stains, splashes, random crumbs, etc.
Thanks for the interesting article. I like the kitchen with white facades. But black surfaces and a black apron are like an abyss. Better when they are different colors.
White color of tenderness. Many are afraid to make out the kitchen in bright colors due to the fact that she allegedly will quickly get dirty, but a good housewife will always have order in the kitchen. My mother-in-law has almost everything in the kitchen done in white (except for the refrigerator) and somehow I never noticed that it was too hard to care for such a kitchen)
I like it when the interior is built on contrast: for example, the kitchen itself is white, and the walls are of darker shades — it looks spectacular.
For the kitchen, the white color is the most. It is he who is beautiful
combined with kitchen furniture and cooking atmosphere.
I prefer white in the design of the kitchen, because it allows you to expand the space through the play of light. This color looks advantageous if you need to increase the area visually. It is good to use it in the design of the kitchen, located on the shady side.
And I prefer the combination of white and black, just the view then changes dramatically. In general, everyone has different tastes.
And yet the white color in the kitchen is just impractical. Yes, in the West, this is relatively popular, but they rarely cook food at home there!
The white kitchen is great. Cooking for such a pleasure. And how much light in it, space ..
Regarding practicality - depending on what and how to cook. You can utter absolutely any kitchen, even black, it all depends on the hostess 🙂
