Make a White Kitchen Gorgeous with Color
Want an update on the standard white-on-white kitchen? Read on for how I delivered a GORGEOUS space with a touch of modern color.
My client wanted a kitchen that had more workable space and was beautiful to see and use. We added a beautiful moss-green subway tile to the walls and backsplash, swapped the fridge and cook surface, and let the natural light shine through the windows by removing the tall pantry.
Here you can tell how it was before — cramped, dark, and lacking storage.
Repeating the green subway tiles on the opposite wall brings a lovely sense of rhythm and harmony to the kitchen. The view into the dining room at the far end reveals our gorgeous grey-green paint color on the walls.
Now you can see how our beautiful green color really makes the space sing. My client had the slab of cypress wood stored in their garage but didn’t know how to use it. I turned it into their dining table; the color ties in perfectly.
Repeating the grey-green on the cabinetry in the laundry area creates a space unified by gorgeous color throughout, with a beautiful veined white marble backsplash that matches the kitchen counters to complete the look.
