You've heard it so many times. Use lots of texture. with materials Warm it up naturally. Add a pop of color. White kitchens are always so warm, but there’s always a risk that they’ll be too cold. How to Make Cozy White Kitchens Not Too Cold ? Let's explore.
If the kitchen has natural hardwood flooring, what a help! But other flooring materials can also help, including wood-look LVP or warm-toned tiles.
Muted gray cabinets and crisp white Neolith countertops are warmed by woven materials, wood and rustic objects and accessories.
Even the patina of old pots or bread boards can bring both rusticity and warmth.
In fact, even the texture of aged painted wood seems to warm things up and keep them from getting cold.
Here's an important aspect of cozy whites: mixing different values of white together.
You'd be surprised how many people don't understand how this works. And it is a subtle art that is extremely difficult to convey with photography.
One of the reasons why white decor seems so difficult to understand for internet users is that in person, the interior ambiance can appear completely balanced with subtleties and varying highlights that work magic.
The backsplash above is a perfect example of how a collection of vintage stoneware and handmade tiles in varying shades of cream work beautifully for a calm personality and interest.
Here is a nice warm white tile:
There's probably no more country white kitchen than a white subway tile backsplash, butcher block countertops, and a white farmhouse sink:
Sometimes wood can provide a high contrast with the light colors of a kitchen:
Even a low contrast to white on a kitchen island can add interest, warmth and comfort.
This crisp white kitchen is cool and chic, but not cold once the plants, food and decor move in.
Black paint colors with warm brown undertones are another option when avoiding cool blue undertones.
You can also introduce black or brown-black on the windows:
So many possibilities! You can always think beyond the ever-popular creamy whites like Benjamin Moore White Dove and Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for cabinets. But what color?
CLARE paint can be ordered online, and here is a light, putty-like beige with warm undertones that I chose for two baths here at the Georgian called No Filter :
I'm sure you've noticed how common it is for homeowners to opt for patterns on kitchen floors these days.
Copper tones are always a smart choice when you're looking for warmth and comfort:
Even if a fancy French stove and a custom range hood with metal trim aren't in the budget, cabinet hardware probably is. It could also be as simple as decorating a corner of the counter with vintage brass candlesticks. Not that any of us will renovate our kitchen to become that…
Mixing vintage and antiques with new works for good reason.
And feelings of nostalgia, wonder and even romance.
Whether it's shiplap on walls, beadboard on a backsplash or wood planks on a ceiling, the warmth of texture is a smart way to up the cozy, relaxing factor while toning down the "precious."
While sleek, modern kitchens can sometimes seem timeless, a folkloric kitchen with vintage touches and simplistic storage gives a homely warmth that's hard to beat!
If your white kitchen design includes a breakfast bar or island, consider comfortable counter stools for color, texture and shape.
Upholstering stools is another opportunity to add softness and a cozy, comfortable texture.
Layering fabrics and upholstery is a wonderful way to make a kitchen feel less utilitarian and more like a welcoming living space.
