A few decades back, almost every home had a white
kitchen. However, as the new millennium arrived, they were no longer used and
instead tainted wood was used. Still, the charming and gentle environment of
the white kitchen having a cool and pleasant look didn't lose its value. These
days, white kitchens are back with some fresh twists that add a touch of
modernity, newness and appeal to them.
The first thing that you have to consider is the kind of white to be used. The
days when white used to be a single shade are gone. Nowadays, white cabinets
are available in a wide range of shades ranging from bright white to subtle
white. Both of the hues look fresh and recent, but each has a different appeal.
If you are more attracted towards brightness, then opt for more whiteness. In
traditional kitchens, bright white looks especially good. White kitchen
cabinets with craftsman style frames look exquisite in bright white. Kitchen
cabinets with the traditional cup style drawers also blend together perfectly.
Adding to this setting the white countertops made of marble completes the
look.
You can also decorate your dishwasher and refrigerator with the cabinet doors,
if you wish to g a give a period look to your kitchen. This will blend them
well into your kitchen and does not distract attention. Nevertheless, if you
want your kitchen to look modern, use shiny equipment to make your kitchen look
elegant with a dash of classic touch.
The white kitchens of recent times has one more unique feature and that is
interest in even the smallest aspect. The cabinets of today have very fine
detailing and a lot of moulding. The crown moulding at the cabinet tops gives a
very stylish appearance to the kitchen and this means that the cabinets are of
superior quality. Moreover, adding crown moulding to the top of already
existing cabinets is very inexpensive and gives a new look altogether to your
kitchen and make the cabinets more noticeable. But some finishing is still to
be done. This can be done by using lighter hues of white paint on the cabinets,
and a slight staining in the crevices of the design. Doing this enhances the
details in the cabinets and makes them look new and pleasant.
White kitchens appear very charming. One more advantage that comes with having
white kitchen cabinets is that they make your kitchen look bigger. Using dark
colored cabinets make your kitchen look smaller than it really is. Opting for a
white kitchen is a good option because of the elegance and beauty associated
with it. And in case you are renovating your white kitchen, you can simply draw
your attention towards details, such as adding new pulls for the drawers,
replacing the previous solid surface and the laminate counters by natural stone
with mouldings added to it. All of these procedures can give an altogether new
appearance to your kitchen.
