White kitchens are a classic, and there’s a reason why they never date. They’re bright, clean, modern and extremely versatile. But if you think white kitchens are boring - think again. There are plenty of ways to make any white kitchen interesting and unique to you. 

Whether you are going for a high-gloss contemporary design, or a more traditional shaker style, here are some ways you can make your white kitchen more interesting:

2. Sleek Handleless Cabinetry

While there’s no denying that a white kitchen will always look sleek, modern and sophisticated, a handleless design really completes the look. Handleless kitchens are perfect for open plan living, creating a seamless flow throughout the space. This style gives more space, as there is no “overhang” from obtrusive hardware, allowing for smoother navigation for cooking and preparing food.

3. Add Some Shine

Mix up sheen levels in your kitchen to add layers of interest without diluting the clean and crisp space. The splashback is a great place to incorporate texture, drawing in the eye as a focal point of a kitchen. Adding a mirror splashback can give the illusion of a large space, and reflect natural light. The cabinets are another great place to add some gloss, not only making them easier to clean, but making your room feel modern and luxurious.

4. Warm Up with Wood

Wood goes well with any white kitchen - a classic combination that can work with many styles, bringing an instant warmth to the cooler shades. Pairing wood with white adds elements of nature to the room, alongside texture and depth. A variety of woods work well in a white kitchen scheme, the most popular being oak and walnut.

5. Use Lighting Effectively

Lighting can do wonders for a white kitchen. The type, hue, and quality of lighting you choose can have a huge impact on making any white kitchen feel warmer and more welcoming. To avoid a stark, cold feel, stick with warm LED lights and have plenty of different light sources for a soft all-over glow. If you feel like making a bolder statement, consider adding pendant lights above the island that acts as a focal point when you walk into the room.
