25 Best White Kitchens for Stylish Space-Savvy Goodness

The best kitchens are ones with style and functionality rolled into one in an effortless fashion. Color and contrast do play a big role in shaping the overall visual appeal of your kitchen. Yet, the monochromatic background is something that still holds plenty of appeal. This is even truer when you have a kitchen in white that is not strictly monochromatic but still feels refreshing, cheerful and inviting. The best white kitchens feel anything but mundane and make up for the lack of bold and bright color with a contrast in texture and finishes. And add space-saving ergonomics to it and you have a kitchen that is perfect for the modern home.

Right Style for Your White Kitchen

Finding the right style for the white kitchen is all too easy and you can even shift between styles with the bare minimum in terms of both cost and effort. Styles like beach, coastal, shabby chic and modern are perfect for the small kitchen in white and this is truer when you are thinking of a kitchen revamp in the summer months. Of course, the contemporary and minimal kitchens seem even more splendid in the all-white setting and you can always add additional layers of color and texture to make it even more special.

A Balance Between White and Wood

As we alluded to the fact earlier, white and wood is a color combination that is taking the decorating world by storm this year. You can make it even better with the right balance between both the elements while adding space-savvy shelves and open, wooden cabinets. For those who want to even more intrigue to the kitchen in white, a concrete finish or an accent wall in brick makes a big impact thanks to the neutral backdrop.

Adding a Dash of Color

For the white kitchen, even a pinch of color makes a big impact with ease and you can use this to your advantage as you shift between accent colors and changing seasons. A simple bar stool in blue, backsplash in bright green or tiles in yellow can alter both the style and the appearance of the space with ease. Even metallic accents and bold pendants feel much more special in the white kitchen; so go give this a try this summer.

  • Kahua Kuili Residence

    The Kahua Kuili residence is a modern interpretation of the classic Hawai’i summer camp. In keeping with the firm’s design philosophy, the warm yet spacious retreat was designed with longevity in mind. Kahua Kuili incorporates centuries-old indigenous design elements paired with contemporary attitudes to create a residence that will remain relevant for generations to come. Located within the dry portion of the Kona Coast at the base of the large cinder cone Pu’u Kuili, the property offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and Kua Bay as well as mountain views of Hualalai. Previously the site of a working ranch, the transition to residence became an opportunity to return the majority of the landscape to its natural state: a mix of lava and bunch grasses. Inspired by traditional Hawaiian architecture, the 5,590-square-foot residence is composed of multiple structures that simultaneously provide privacy through their scattered arrangement and community through the open spaces between them. The camp-like retreat’s focal point is the main hale (Hawaiian for house), which provides a central gathering place for family and friends. The main hale opens to ocean views and the central, protected courtyard, enabling activity to flow easily between indoor and outdoor space, including to the adjacent pool and tiki bar. The bar/lounge area spills over into the pool, complete with multiple lounge chairs and breathtaking ocean views. A barbecue/luau area allows for gatherings of family and friends who can picnic under the comfort and shade of a magnificent kiawe tree. Deep roof overhangs define the transition between inside and outside and offer shelter from sun and rain. Outdoor spaces link the separate structures—guest quarters, studio, wash house, garage—to one another. The use of simple, durable materials, such as board-formed concrete, western red cedar, large sliding doors, operable wood ventilation louvers, and rope lashing help reinforce the camp-like aesthetic. Western red cedar was selected for its resistance to termites and dry rot as well as for the beautiful way it patinas with age. Natural stone cowboy walls surrounding the property help create a sense of privacy from nearby houses. The interiors, by Marion Philpotts, were designed in a comfortable, contemporary aesthetic with bright colors and retro elements that tie into the modern theme of the structure. The expansive cedar-clad kitchen features a breakfast bar, dining table, and state-of-the-art appliances. Tall ceilings, large windows, and grand sliding doors that open to the courtyard contribute to the casual ease of the house. Intimate spaces, which include cozy reading nooks and relaxing sitting areas, are scattered throughout the home. Kahua Kuili is the quintessential destination for relaxation, where one can unwind comfortably and in style, all while enjoying the natural climate and landscape of Hawaii. Project team
