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.

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.

  • Mercer Modern

    Mercer Modern is a midcentury home located on a hillside on a 15,539 SF lot in Mercer Island, WA overlooking Lake Washington. The original house had great bones but was disconnected from the outdoors. Wittman Estes wanted to give the family a way to live outside and connect with their Southern California roots. Originally built in 1969, the post and beam structure had fallen into disrepair, and had a layout that was out of sync with the casual modern lifestyle for a young family with two children. The owner is Melanie Owen, a fashion designer with a keen interest in interior design and outdoor living. Originally from Southern California, her design sensibilities were rooted in SoCal surfer culture and the casual and open vibes of beach living. Both Melanie and her husband, Matt, work in fashion and clothing and have deep interests in texture, materiality, and a spaces with a comfortable lived-in feeling. Ms. Owen’s roots in Southern California brought a love for bright, light tones, and simple open spaces. Together with the architect, this vibe was mixed with Pacific Northwest traditions of wood tones and highly crafted built-in furniture. The goal was to create spaces that had both the qualities of Southern California modernism with a warmer, high quality carpentry that the Puget Sound region is known for. The outdoor deck has a ipe decking and built in seating. Cedar slat walls screen the neighboring houses while allowing the sunlight to filter through the screens. The kitchen was reconfigured to orient to the outdoors encourage an easy connection between the living room, dining room, and outdoor space. A concrete and glass stair connect the upper terrace to the garden and landscape. “We sought to connect the spaces in so the family could be relaxed and cruise barefoot going indoors and out”, says Wittman. The breezy and lightweight feeling of the material palette encourages the family to step outside and connect with the sunlight and views over Lake Washington and towards the downtown Seattle skyline.
