Black and White Kitchen
The black and white kitchen of the 50s is making a comeback…but with a contemporary vibe. You won’t find the checked floor tile but the dramatic contrast can be used in the backsplash to add depth. Bring your timeless white cabinets into the 2020s.
Traditional white kitchen with black penny tile backsplash with white grout. Accented with a black vent hood over the range and oversized black rattan pendants. Complimented with black beams and doors.
Contemporary white cabinets with traditional but solid black subway tile and black grout. Accented with metal pendants with white on the inside and black on the outside. Complimented with black industrial styled stools.
White on White Kitchen
If you try to just imagine an all white kitchen it may immediately give you a sterile feeling. But with a few simple design decisions you change sterile to sophisticated and warm.
White cabinets, white countertops, white rangehood, and white subway tile backsplash. Only accented by brushed gold fixtures creates a sophisticated and timeless design.
This is warm white on white design created by lots of texture. White brick backsplash with butcherblock countertops completely removes sterility of an all white kitchen.
A Splash of Color
Bring some life to your white kitchen by using a color or pattern tile on the backsplash.
In an all white kitchen the backsplash is the a great place to add your favorite color. The sky is the limit with this. Add more interest with a hex tile or lay the tiles in an unexpected direction.
In this picture the color is another neutral… my recommendation is to add a pattern if this is the color you are drawn to. There are really amazing mosaics too.
