Clean & Contemporary White Kitchen

Natural light abounds in this streamlined kitchen. Cabinetry from Binova creates a contemporary backdrop. Black floors ground the space. Leather armchairs from West Elm surround an oval table in the breakfast area.

Country French White Kitchen

This country-style kitchen features a large island that serves as both a dining area as well as a workspace. The white marble island top gets a sunny lift from French bar stools painted in blue and yellow and cushioned with checks of yellow and white. The blue-and-white backsplash also provides soft color and pattern.

Light & Airy White Kitchen

Blue walls provide a soothing canvas for white cabinetry from Wood Mode and a dazzling backsplash. An expansive center island grounds the space and encourages an organic flow between the kitchen and breakfast area.

Smart White Kitchen

White cabinets from Kountry Kraft keep the spacious kitchen feeling light and bright. Planning pays off in this smart kitchen featuring two islands—one for cooking and the other for cleaning.

Light Marble Kitchen

Black stools and dark wood floors provide contrast to this mostly white kitchen and keep the space grounded. Reflective surfaces such as glass, stainless steel, and antique French mirror panels on the refrigerator maximize light.

Eco-Friendly White Kitchen

Cherry wood cabinets were painted white with EnviroSafe paint in this cheery kitchen.  Pendant lights from Urban Archeology hang above the island, topped with honed Danby marble.

 

Bright & Open Kitchen

A marble-topped island and fresh white palette establish the kitchen area in this open-plan home. A custom light fixture illuminates the work area, which has views of the covered porch and outdoors. Behind the range wall is a walk-in pantry.

Glamorous & Casual White Kitchen

The traditional white-on-white kitchen gets a graphic update with geometric patterns here. The cupboard valances feature gothic details, while a beadboard ceiling adds texture. Charming tin lights are designed by Colette van den Thillart and painted a chalky Swedish blue.

Graphic White Kitchen Hutch

A beautiful built-in hutch is the centerpiece for this kitchen. Apothecary drawers match the grid pattern established by the cupboard’s fogged windowpanes. Stained cork floors continue the pattern to the floor and create a graphic backdrop. A striking marble backsplash and elegant arch give the hutch a classic shape.

All-White Kitchen with Black Floor
White scullery-type cabinets mingle with glossy white subway tiles, marble countertops, and stainless steel appliances to create a pristine appearance in this light and airy room. Below, an oak floor stained ebony creates a dramatic contrast.

Gray and White Kitchen
White cabinets and shelves stand out against warm gray walls and a marble tile backsplash that recreates the feel of early 20th-century America. White Carrera marble tops the tiered kitchen island as well as the perimeter countertops. The overall look is sophisticated yet relaxed--which suits this vacation home perfectly.

White Kitchen with Red and Black Accents
Bold strokes of red add charisma to a white kitchen outlined in black. Red lacquered Italian armchairs, a red hanging "pineapple" lantern above the table, and a red "Gothic" lantern above the island contribute to the overall exuberance of the room.

Blue and White Kitchen
White walls and white painted cabinets recede against the rich navy blue painted surface of a kitchen island topped with creamy yellow marble. An 18th-century Portuguese tile mural installed above the range draws the eye, while a terra-cotta tile floor peppered with blue diamond-shaped tiles defines the space.

White and Green Kitchen
MacKenzie-Childs tiles are inset into classic white subway tiles above the range, setting the green and soft-white color scheme for the room. Two kiwi-green islands repeat hues found in the dishes and also in the fabric window treatment.

Ivory Kitchen with Black
As with other rooms in this home, the kitchen design was inspired by the cream, buff, and gray shadings of flagstone landscaping outside. Ivory paint with an earthen cast covers the perimeter cabinets, while the dual islands are painted in black and topped with granite.

White Kitchen with Blue-Gray Ceiling
A blue-gray painted ceiling emphasizes the lakeside location of the home in which this white kitchen resides. Thick white marble countertops, marble backsplashes, and classic white cabinets draw attention to the room's main ornamentation: a horse weather vane galloping above the range. Dark-stained hand-scraped walnut floors provide an earthy foundation.

White Kitchen with Dark Cabinetry
Ebonized walnut cabinets and white plaster panels on the range hood help give this 1920s white kitchen a beautiful, stately feel that is still warm and inviting. White backsplash tiles and white marble countertops provide hard-working surfaces with a period-appropriate appearance.

White Kitchen with Concrete Floor
Concrete floors in this simple white kitchen and breakfast room were scored and hand-tinted for a lustrous appearance. The custom-designed white cabinets with glass-front doors team joyously with a repurposed table-turned-island topped with tempered glass.

White Kitchen Accessorized with Light
Windows form the back walls of the glass-doored cabinets, allowing light to pour in and illuminate the simple white kitchen. Calacatta marble counters and a bleached-wood floor add a subdued presence.

Mostly White Kitchen
Opting for refined and simple, this kitchen is outfitted with classic white cabinets and countertops crafted from honed statuary marble with random gray blotches. Stainless-steel appliances and nickel hardware add a quiet gleam. An orange-and-white window treatment offers a blaze of color above the sink.

Black-and-White Kitchen with Patterns
Black and white reign supreme in this kitchen, with checkerboard tiles laid on the diagonal and black-and-white patterned fabric covering a nearby chair. The crisp, graphic look extends to work spaces, where countertops are black and cabinets and backsplash tiles are white.

White Kitchen with Patterns
The all-white kitchen allows colorful patterns on the tiled backsplash, windows, rug, and dishes in the lighted islands to get the attention they deserve.

White kitchen with Yellow and Black
Warmed by taxi-yellow tiles on the backsplash and a black-and-beige checkerboard tile floor, this mostly white kitchen is sleek but not cold. The jolt of color repeats versions of the hue used in other rooms.

White Kitchen with Blue Accents
Antique Chinese Cantonware and blue-and-white transferware pop against the neutral canvas provided by this mostly white kitchen. Intricate moldings help tie the room to its 1936 origin.

Kitchen in White, Gray and Stainless Steel
Stainless steel appliances, gray countertops, and a gray-and-white backsplash make serene companions to white painted cabinetry. Gray-painted base cabinets with silvertone hardware mimic the finish on the range.

White and Stainless-Steel Kitchen
Behind the range, a stainless-steel backsplash stamped in a diamond pattern offers a gleaming counterpoint to white-painted cabinets and a marble-topped island.

Creamy White Kitchen
Creamy white cabinets provide a mellow foundation for gold-tone engineered quartz countertops in this kitchen from The Nanny Diaries set. The combination of classic neutral colors, upscale fixtures, and cabinetry with glass-front doors is designed to creatae an interior that's traditional, comfortable, and inviting.

White Kitchen with Yellow and Red
Although its fittings are all new, this white kitchen was made to recall the past with barn references: among them, the barn-red island. A charming ruffled valance of red-and-yellow checked cotton softens the curve of the large kitchen window. Crisp white cabinets and woodwork stand out from yellow beaded-board walls.

White Kitchen with Pops of Red
White painted cabinets and white marble countertops keep this refined white kitchen looking light and airy, and make sure the red accents pop.

Creamy White Kitchen
Gleaming expanses of wood, both on the island top and the floor, add warmth to a kitchen decked out in creamy white painted cabinets with beaded details and glass knobs. Pristine white trim stands out against the neutral wall color, emphasizing the beautiful view at the sink.
