Double Take: Kitchen Color

IN THIS ISSUE’S DOUBLE TAKE, WE TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT THE WHITE KITCHEN.

While kitchen trends come and go, the white kitchen is a classic look that will never go out of style. White is clean, simple, bright and airy – which is why so many choose it as their go-to cabinetry color. So how do you take that all-white kitchen and give it a punch of personality that sets it apart from the rest?

Thoughtful Color

If you love color but aren’t ready to embrace a full colored kitchen, mixing white and colored cabinetry is a great way to satisfy your need for a little more color! In this kitchen, a beautiful blue island, gorgeous brushed gold hardware, a few colorful accessories and an amazing wood and tile floor really set this space apart! Keeping the hardware and countertops the same throughout helps to keep this look feeling coordinated.

Embracing Color

For a modern take on a traditional look, pair a deep blue with a soft gray. The upper cabinets fade into the wall, giving the same open feeling of a kitchen with no upper cabinets but without sacrificing storage! – Photography by Larry Arnal; Kitchen by Mooza Wood Arts
