You can’t go wrong with an all-white color palette, especially if you want a kitchen aesthetic that’s both elegant and pristine. But then, it has its downsides. For one, a white kitchen can be extremely high maintenance. You’ll also find that your kitchen has lost its appeal because it looks the same as the other kitchens of your neighbors who are also enamored with this all-white scheme.
To avoid this, consider incorporating more color into your white kitchen. Local kitchen remodeler DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno shares these five ways to do it.
How to Add Color to Your White Kitchen
1. Add color to your cabinet, countertop, or sink. Upgrade the look of your all-white kitchen with some pops of color on your important fixtures. Paint the doors of your upper cabinets with bright hues. Add personality to your kitchen work zones with a colored countertop. A colorful island can also become a statement piece without overpowering the rest of the kitchen space. Going with a darker shade of brown or blue shouldn’t hurt either, as this provides an interesting contrast to your white kitchen design.
2. Choose a backsplash color and material. Backsplashes are a staple in most kitchen designs, and you can use them to bring the space to life with pops of color. They come in a wide array of color options, but metal or glass backsplashes provide a contrasting tone to the kitchen’s overall aesthetic. To add subtle hints of color, consider those that your kitchen contractor will likely recommend, including pale blues, greens, yellows, and grays.
3. Feature colorful cookware. Why not use your pots and pans as a color feature? Colored cookware displayed on open shelves brings warmth to your kitchen. It also makes it more inviting and a good talking point with friends and family.
4. Utilize fabrics. Fabrics to cover your bar stools, cushions and dining chairs are a great way to add color to your kitchen space. Make sure the pattern you choose looks interesting and blends well with the rest of the kitchen elements. Make it too busy and your fabrics won’t enhance the look and feel of your space.
5. Get inspired by nature. Nothing beats the beauty of nature when looking for color inspiration. You can add dark wood for that rustic look to your white kitchen. You can also add plants, bowls of fruits, and fresh flowers to your island counter for that lively, almost tropical vibe.
