5 ways to master having a new white kitchen
Choosing white for a new kitchen remains as popular as ever.
It’s a timeless choice, regardless of whether you opt for gloss white kitchen cabinets, bespoke painted units or a subtle white woodgrain finish, and it’s the perfect basis to accessorise or add an accent colour to, as white is the universal colour that is complemented by every single colour or shade!
There are many other benefits and reasons as to why white is such a popular choice in a kitchen, one being that it’s an easy colour to keep really clean as all dirt marks are easy to spot, ideal in a room where cleanliness is imperative.
This appealing colour, which initially might seem to be a single shade, is actually available in so many white tones. Choosing the one that’s right for your new kitchen is imperative, and that’s where the experienced designers at Ray Munn Kitchens can really help to advise.
How much natural daylight does the room have?
A kitchen with plenty can take a truly clean shade of white, whereas a room that requires lots of additional lighting, even during the day, is likely to have an inherent yellowing overcast, so that the shade of white chosen should allow for and compensate this.
What direction does the kitchen face?
It’s no surprise that a south facing kitchen will in general feel warmer, and likewise, a northerly facing kitchen is likely to feel cooler, whatever the time of year. So, even if you’re simply considering an accent colour, colder shades like certain blues are best avoided in a north facing kitchen.
Are there any original features in the kitchen?
A beautiful reclaimed floor or undiscovered beams can be embraced, even in a modern and contemporary kitchen, and our designers will suggest ways in which to best complement them. From eclectically mixing different surfaces together, to choosing a palette of encompassing tones, our designers can help.
Add a contrasting woodgrain?
Rich woods such as walnut are the perfect way to balance a stark white kitchen, adding both warmth and an accent shade from which to accessorise with, and incorporate into occasional furniture items, luxurious wooden worksurfaces and even kitchen unit handles.
Go truly monochrome with the addition of graphite or black?
It’s a dramatic look that’s certain to give maximum impact, and whilst it isn’t everyone’s’ cup of tea, it’s definitely a stylish choice, as it still allows an alternative accent colour to be easily used.
