Designers have forecasted that in 2018, the all-white kitchen trend has become 'passé'. A new list offers seven design ideas to make this trend timeless.
One colorful option is to integrate texture into the kitchen, "An animal-print rug. Whitewashed brick. A rustic wood table. All of these add visual interest to an otherwise mostly white kitchen." Realtor.com points out that this method isn't as expensive as other options. Florida interior designer Sara Chiarilli agrees, saying, "I love to have some pop and wow with glass and ceramic accessories to add depth and show character. Don't forget things like floral arrangements—these add color and texture without being drastic."
"After 15 years of stainless-steel appliances, many homeowners are turning to colorful appliances—and white allows these hues to become accents or focal points," says Darla DeMorrow, a home organizing expert with HeartWork Organizing ... Along with flooring and appliances, kitchen islands can add some zing to a potentially dull white kitchen. "Without this blue island to draw the eye into the space, there would be nothing interesting to look at," DeMorrow notes.
