There is something so timeless about a white kitchen; it provides a blank canvas upon which you can build and style to your desired taste, working with almost any aesthetic. White works for a variety of kitchen styles, including traditional, minimal and contemporary, and can be paired with a range of textures and finishes to make the space your own.

Is a white kitchen a good idea?

Some question whether white kitchens are outdated, but we disagree. Instead, we see the versatility in this classic design. A white kitchen creates a neutral backdrop, allowing you to get creative with a range of interesting materials and accessories to achieve a myriad of styles. What’s more, a white kitchen can be easily updated by changing the wall colours and hardware, a cheaper alternative than a full kitchen renovation.

A white kitchen can help make your space feel brighter and more open. If you have a smaller kitchen that lacks natural light, opting for a lighter shade can help to reflect more light around the room, creating a brighter, more spacious environment.

Are white kitchens hard to keep clean?

White kitchens are perceived to be harder to maintain than darker or coloured kitchens. While smudges and marks may be more noticeable on white cabinetry, it can also be argued that this encourages more regular cleaning, helping to maintain a cleaner and fresher environment.

White Kitchen Ideas

White With Wood

The Mid-Century Kitchen

The combination of white cabinetry and wood has soared in popularity. This timeless look creates a contemporary design without looking cold and sterile.

Our Mid-Century Kitchen blends minimalist design with natural materials. The white cabinets cleverly reflect the natural light from the dining room, bringing light to this otherwise dark space. Additionally, the bespoke Japandi handles crafted by our team of makers help to break up the white cabinetry and add interesting linear detailing.

Plywood Kitchen 

BUILDING THE DREAM – FEATURING OUR CONTEMPORARY ECO KITCHEN

We love plywood kitchens. Not only are these beautiful kitchens unique, but they can be incredibly durable. We use birch plywood for all of our kitchen carcasses, our Montpellier range features an exposed plywood frame, showcasing the wonderful plywood layers to create an industrial look.

Incorporating white doors with exposed plywood edges frames the cabinetry, helping to make the colour pop.

All-white Kitchen

Contemporary White Kitchen minimalist kitchen - Sustainable Kitchens

Opt for handless, flat-panel cabinetry keeping your kitchen, stylish, clean and uncluttered with modern touches.

Using white in a contemporary kitchen, you will need a company that will design space-saving innovation allowing everything to be hidden away so you can really benefit and enjoy the white space. 

Using a handless approach will keep the cabinetry sleek and having cabinetry from floor to ceiling will look spectacular.

Classic white shaker kitchens are here to stay. Shaker kitchens can bring a traditional feel to your home, and when using white gives you a classic, country look that you have always dreamed of.

The brief for our traditional country kitchen was to make the kitchen look like it had always been in this barn conversion, and the results are stunning.
