Let’s face it: the white kitchen is the little black dress of home design!
No matter how many trends come and go, whether it is farmhouse chic, industrial, minimalism, or that weird period where everyone thought green appliances were hot, the white kitchen reigns supreme!
The white-on-white kitchen is both serene and daring at the same time!
Probably for its clean, crisp look that says ”I totally sanitize every inch of this place,” or maybe for the fact that any spill instantly transforms into a colorful crime scene!
With a white-on-white kitchen, you’ll feel like you could be a contestant on a cooking show hosted by Gordon Ramsey and showcase your culinary skills, preparing gourmet meals (or at least boiling pasta!)
Either way, white on white will always be classy and in style, from the way it brightens up the space to the way it provides the perfect blank canvas for your culinary ambitions!
