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.

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.

Villa Kivi

VILLA KIVI Villa Kivi is a new generation log home on a tiny island in Finnish archipelago designed for himself by Finnish designer Vertti Kivi. Polar Life Haus, a Finnish wooden house manufacturer, was quick to pick it up for their collection. ‘The whole development process of the house was guided by our goal to bring the interior of the house together with the spectacular surroundings. We wanted to be part of sunset, snowstorm and even autumn storm on his tiny island in Finnish archipelago’, tells designer Vertti Kivi, the head of dSign Vertti Kivi & Co. ‘The starting point was a clear glass cube but we ended up creating glass walls reaching from the floor level up to the ceiling only to three sides of the structure. The north side with its separate sleeping rooms and bathroom is constructed of massive black wood beams that are in clear contrast to the glass and create feeling of cosyness and safety. Large terraces in one level create a sense of continuity between inside and outside. The floor plan is defined by Scandinavian clearness. The heart of the villa is the kitchen, located next to the entrance, and from there you can see the entire open interior and the surrounding sea. We like to think the kitchen island is like a DJ’s desk – the atmosphere of the whole interior space is created right there with the remote controlled lighting system. To guarantee the privacy of the bedrooms, they are located in the outermost corners of the villa, separate from each other. They too have one wall completely made of glass. An extra attention is paid on the details of the villa. Not a single molding can be found in the entire building. The doors have a hidden frame and they too reach from the floor to the ceiling. Drama and strong feeling are created by massive wooden surfaces and their color choices – snow white lacquer on the floor creates a contrast to the dark walls. To make the battened external walls coal black, we developed a special technique based on hundreds of years old Japanese traditions. In the evening, the atmosphere changes with different lighting schemes that can be timed to be in sync with nature. The end result is a clean-lined building in Scandinavian style which can be adapted to different needs and locations. It has a strong Finnish presence.
