If there’s one colour that works beautifully in any kitchen, no matter how large or small, is the colour white. White kitchens are a classic design statement: clean, crisp, refined and bring a special touch of purity and freshness.

White kitchens are a popular choice and it’s easy to see why. They suit both classic and contemporary décor and can easily and inexpensively be updated as trends change. They are often the colour of choice for designers and architects, as they are adaptable, readily available and can instantly make a smaller area feel light, bright and airy.

When planning a white kitchen, it’s all about making sure the end result isn’t cold and clinical – even if you want the stark look, there are ways of bringing warmth and personality into the room. Take for example the Scandinavians, ‘Kings of the white space’, they achieve a lovely homely feel so why can’t you?

White is the colour that is easiest to combine with other elements such as wood (light or dark) or stunning metals, without the fear that they will look too much. White is so easy to pair with every colour and every material.

You may be concerned that an all-white kitchen means no personality, no style, no design. Well, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here are a few tips to help you. Make a statement with your island. This is a great place to bring in texture, contrasting material, or an interesting colour. Again, not as difficult to change if you tire of it. Let your lighting take centre stage. Make a bold choice in overhead lighting in the kitchen. This is a great way to showcase your personality without making a “permanent” statement. Bring in a signature colour through wall paint. Wall colour is easily changed when you or a new owner wants a different look. Not so easy to change trendy wall tiles. Add personality with free-standing furniture like an antique or a modern piece. The most timeless and interesting kitchens are those with more than just built-in cabinets. Add some colour through wall art and accessories. For a designer look add lighting to accentuate statement pieces.

The result: A clean, fresh space that appears to be more spacious and light.
