From clean and contemporary to warm and inviting, these white kitchen ideas offer smart ways to introduce this crisp bright colour into a cooking space. White kitchens are a timeless choice thanks to its blank backdrop that can be customised with accessories for the changing trends, making it easy to personalise for a variety of looks. White kitchen colour ideas are also great where natural light is lacking, or where space is limited, with many homeowners looking to this firm favourite to make a room look more spacious. Explore these white kitchen designs, that include examples from real customers' homes, to inspire your next renovation project.

"White is proven to stand the test of time. It's the best foundation for a light, bright, and clean home. This tone also provides a neutral backdrop when layering different textures and tones in a mix-and-match design."

1. Keep it bare

Less is more when it comes to interiors, so combine white with matt for a pared-back design. This reduces distractions for the ultimate in minimal style.

2. Turn up the texture

Elevate simple white cupboards by opting for a grained finish. This subtle pattern will introduce texture in an otherwise muted scheme for a premium touch.

3. Small and stylish

For a small white kitchen idea, consider glossy cupboards. This will reflect light to make a room appear more spacious and has a brightening effect.

6. Open up to integrated

When designing an open-plan room, select integrated handles in a white tone. This will offer a simple backdrop for living areas, so all focus remains on family time.

8. Look to linear

For an ultra-modern look, a white linear design is the way to go. The long, horizontal lines draw the eye through a space adding an architectural edge.

9. Bank on drawers

To keep a white design clutter-free, be sure to include plenty of drawers. These units will maximise cupboards while offering easy access to their contents.
10. Choose invisible fixtures

For an ultra-modern design that creates banks of brightness, opt for fixtures, such as handgrips, in the same fresh tone.
