How to Break Up a Large Kitchen With All White Cabinets

All white cabinets are certainly beautiful and open up all options as far as countertops, decor and flooring in your kitchen. If you are selling your home in the near future, you may want to consider staying with more neutral decor while adding a variety of colorful wall hangings and movable decorations.

Decor

• Go with a country to contemporary decor.


• Bring in lots of warm colors and utilize natural elements.


• Choose themes based on harvest seasons, particular ethnic foods, and dramatic, bold and simplistic color schemes.


• Add lighting in warm gold colors to bring in lots of warmth.

Floor Coverings

• Go with wood flooring, tile, laminates, natural stone or vinyl that are warm and inviting.


• Choose something warm and colorful with flecks of white to pick up on the white cabinetry.


• Avoid anything that would make a room feel cold, such as slate.

Wall Coverings and Paint

• Change the background of the kitchen with wallpaper or paint.


• Break up the monotony of white with patterned wallpaper on a white background that brings in the colors from your decor.


• Avoid solid dark colors specifically unless the kitchen is huge.


• Use a colorful wallpaper border if you want to invest only a little time or money.

Countertops

• Use colors from your flooring.


• Stay with colors of nature that are warm and inviting.


• Use solid countertops made of natural stone in warm colors if you can afford it.

Window Treatments

• Play with some darker colors that complement your decor or flooring, if you like.


• Go bold or solid if you want to add something like that. 


• Avoid interfering with natural light coming in.
