White kitchen and modern furnishing: tips for an elegant ambience

Modern furniture with a white kitchen is undoubtedly one of the current trends in the world of interior design.

White is a colour that never goes out of fashion and is a very popular shade in the modern and minimalist style. Here are some tips and ideas for a white kitchen environment, refined and elegant in its simplicity.

White kitchen: the advantages of this trendy choice

White is a colour that adapts well to any type of environment and is able to enhance rooms such as the kitchen precisely because of its brightness.

A white kitchen is refined but not intrusive. Particularly if it is minimalist in style, it tends to almost disappear in the space in which it is placed: a tip for bringing it into the light is to play with appliances and worktops.

For a total white look, on the other hand, it is necessary to pay attention to the various elements in white so that they do not clash: it is necessary to find shades that match each other well.

In a white kitchen, it is possible to play with the table and chairs: they do not have to be exactly the same colour and finish as the wall units: a trend today is to place them in stark contrast with the kitchen.

How to furnish a modern white kitchen: different finishes for different styles

A modern white kitchen can be made in different materials, depending on the style of the house and also on personal tastes and needs.

The trendiest finishes in recent years for the wall units of a white kitchen are:

• glossy lacquer, refined but rather delicate for a lived-in environment such as a kitchen.
• Matt lacquer or open-pore matt lacquer, in which the wood grain is visible.
• Laminate.
• Polymeric or melamine coating.

Modern furniture: how to match the worktop to a white modern kitchen

A white kitchen makes the space in which it is installed brighter and visually larger. It is precisely white that gives this visual sensation of greater size.

If you want a white kitchen with a not too modern look, you can opt for a worktop in the same colour, in perfect harmony with everything else. For a more eccentric combination, choose a contrasting colour for the worktop.

On a modern style kitchen, a combination of white cabinetry and a black top can provide an original effect with great aesthetic impact.

The top of a white kitchen can also favour other shades such as dove grey or grey, ideal colours for furnishing an open space in combination with a living room that is equally modern or tends to have a slightly more traditional look.

An absolute modern style kitchen appreciates a practical and professional steel worktop.

Also trendy is the combination of a white kitchen with a dark coloured worktop in quartz, okite and corian.

Modern furniture and a white kitchen: what are the disadvantages?

The success of kitchen furniture, especially if it is in a delicate colour such as white, depends very much on the material selected.

A white lacquered kitchen is cleanable but undoubtedly very delicate. A white laminate kitchen is durable and functional, but aesthetically less refined.

Furnishing a white kitchen with taste

Choosing a white kitchen can sometimes lead to a somewhat cold and anonymous environment. Through small but significant adjustments, however, it is possible to create modern and very trendy rooms that are anything but devoid of personality.

For a white kitchen with a unique character, you can play with textures and finishes, handles, lighting, walls and textures in the room.
