How white works in the kitchen
In the kitchen, white cabinets are the timeless classic — break them with wood or a coloured worktop to avoid the flat look.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that cabinets and worktops are fixed, so colour comes via walls, details and textiles. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
Colours that pair well with white
White goes with everything, but comes alive against wood, black for contrast and one muted accent. Warm whites feel cosy, cool whites sharp.
Materials and details
Wood, linen, wool and rattan save white from feeling bare; matte surfaces are warmer than glossy.
The most common mistake
An all-white room with no texture or warmth turns clinical. Mix white tones and add natural materials.
See white in the kitchen — before you paint
The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the kitchen and type "repaint the kitchen in white". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
