Keep it light in white
White is often used to make a room look larger, and so it’s a great option for a kitchen that’s short on space. However, smaller rooms often suffer from a lack of natural light, so if you have a small kitchen you’ll want to consider your light fixtures carefully to really brighten up your space.
The whole idea of a white kitchen is to have a light and airy feel, so you definitely want to light up every corner of the room. Take advantage of natural light as much as you can. Choose window treatments that can be pulled out of the way completely, such as roller blinds, to let in as much light as possible during the day.
If your kitchen doesn’t have many windows or isn’t facing the sun, your light fixtures should be a focus. As with warm metallic fixtures and wooden floors, using ‘warm white’ lightbulbs can balance out the cool tones of a white kitchen. Similarly, choosing pendant lighting with striking shades is a great way to add visual interest and a pop of colour and texture, whether fabric or metal, to your space.
White kitchens your way
Even with a core design as basic as the colour white, there is so much room for variation and personalisation in a white kitchen. Choose the right elements to ensure your white kitchen is warm, welcoming, and a pleasant space to spend cooking and mealtimes, and you can be sure that your white kitchen will never go out of style!
