White kitchen - 70 photos, 7 design ideas and practical tips

White kitchen design

White kitchen is a win-win solution for all times, not only from a decorator, but also from a practical (!) Point of view. Here are some reasons:

  • On a white background, dust, stains, limescale, water droplets are not so noticeable.. Yes, the white facades, the apron, the walls and the table-top are not at all such marks as they are thought of. They get dirty in exactly the same degree as the surfaces of any other colors. And even more white color is more practical than black, wenge, blue and other dark shades. In general, in a white kitchen, any mess looks less frustrating than on a dark or motley one. However, in many respects the practicality of white surfaces depends on the materials and textures, and we will tell about this in the second half of the article.
  • White color increases space visually.. If the kitchen is small, then betting on white is the best decision you can make. Believe me, light walls and furniture will save even the most hopeless situation, for example, as in this mini-kitchen in Khrushchev pictured below.

  • Visually facilitates furniture. A set, cupboard or table in white look less bulky and heavy.
  • Enhances natural light. White surfaces, especially glossy and satin, reflect light, due to which the space becomes lighter, airier. In the kitchen with a lack of natural light (for example, if its windows face north or if there is a glazed loggia behind them), white walls and white facades will work wonders.
  • White color balances too elegant or bright interior decoration. For example, classic kitchen with white walls and / or furniture will not look fancy, but elegant.

Or imagine, for example, a motley apron with photo printing - how to fit it into the interior so that it does not turn out coarse? In the white kitchen, such a question will never arise, because the brighter its apron, the more interesting it looks.

  • White color is universal. It is perfectly combined with all colors and shades, applicable to the interiors of any style - from the ultra-modern to country music.
  • White color enhances inexpensive materials - whether tile for apron, dining chairs or kitchen set. So, for example, facades of chipboard, simply painted with white paint, will look more expensive and nobler than the same facades of chipboard, but with a film coating.

  • White kitchen design is the easiest to implement. After all, furniture, tile or tabletop, wallpaper or wall paint in white color is always and everywhere.

On the other hand, if the design is unsuccessful, the white kitchen may seem too sterile, uncomfortable, or ... banal. Indeed, the fashion for white interiors has really become indiscriminate, and with the arrival of Ikea, they have almost become the same. In this article, we presented 7 cool white kitchen design ideas, a selection of 55 photos, as well as practical tips on arranging.

6 Tips for Arranging a White Kitchen

  • So that the white kitchen does not resemble an exhibition interior from the Ikea showroom, try to personalize the space more so that it reflects your personal taste and soul at home. This can help you vintage things with a story, for example, old renovated chairs or a collection of my mother's Gzhel.
  • Kitchen design in country style
  • Can be used wall decor: posters, paintings, panels and photos. They make the interior harder and more interesting. Be sure to use indoor plants - with them the interior comes to life immediately. And, of course, do not be afraid to experiment with color and textures.

  • A multi-level soft light is the secret to the success of a white kitchen design. In addition to the ceiling light, it is desirable to use wall sconces, floor lamps or table lamps. Light bulbs are preferred warm white or natural white.

Multi-level lighting

  • When choosing a white paint for walls, be sure to test painted in real conditions at different times of the day and on different walls of the room. Only in this way you will find the perfect shade that suits your kitchen lighting. After all, variations of white - a great many. Some tones can go gray, some blue, and some have a warm yellow undertone.
  • The white kitchen is a clean sheet that can be “painted” as you like. If the basis of the interior is framed in white (walls and headsets), then it can be safely supplemented with 3-5 additional colors. How to plan the color scheme of the interior read in our guidebook.
  • The best choice for a small and dark kitchen - set with white glossy facades and light walls of white, milky, cream color.

  • White surfaces tend to turn yellow with exposure to UV rays. It is desirable that direct sunshine should not fall on the headset, and the facade decoration should be of high quality.

How to make a white kitchen practical

Here are some tips on how to design a white kitchen so that it is as easy to clean as possible.


  • Matte white kitchen is more viable than glossy. White kitchen facades can be glossy, semi-gloss or matte. Which option is more practical? On the one hand, the glossy white kitchen is easier to clean, but at the same time it also gets more dirty with fingerprints. Matt in this regard requires less attention. If there are children in the house, you often cook and want to minimize the cleaning, then you should choose white facades with a matt finish. However, overestimate the margins of the glossy white kitchen is also not worth it. Many users speak of them as the most trouble-free and easy to clean.
  • Discard the push mechanisms. It is better that the white kitchen had overhead or at least mortise handles. Especially if the facades are glossy.
  • What countertop to choose for a white kitchen? The most popular options are: white table top and tabletop of a neutral shade (gray, beige, brown).

Both solutions are good, but for practicality, the tabletops of natural shades still benefit. The following photo shows an example of a white kitchen with a gray countertop made of artificial stone.

We like white kitchens with quartz agglomerate countertops most of all. Firstly, the tops of the agglomerate are very beautiful, and secondly, they are indestructible, and thirdly, because of the presence of veins they are not visible dirt.

  • White kitchen with sinter tabletop

We also like white kitchens very much. with wooden countertops as in this collection of photos.

But the white kitchen with a black countertop (or in the color of wenge, dark wood), though very spectacular, but only for those who rarely cook or have cleaning helpers. Unfortunately, even the smallest motes, crumbs, water droplets, stains and dirt will be doubly noticeable.

On the dark countertops, even the smallest crumbs and drops of water will be evident

  • Be careful with white tiles for kitchen and floor apron. The fact is that white ceramic tile is practical in itself, but its seams very quickly get dirty and turn gray. Therefore, it should be replaced with a light gray or light beige tile as in this photo.

    I think the main drawback of the white kitchen is that there are very good spots on it, divorces, etc., so you have to be especially careful in monitoring cleanliness. But otherwise, white kitchen is a great solution, besides you can always make bright accents, for example, to buy colored tiles or curtains, which will make the kitchen more interesting.
