65 Timeless White Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire You

White is not a traditional colour for Indian kitchens, as we typically prefer darker shades. This is primarily because of the rough nature of the Indian style of cooking. It is commonly believed that darker colours for the kitchen will endure curry and oil stains. However, these days, there’s a craze for white kitchen design ideas, as global trends make their way into India. To help you get started, we have curated 65 gorgeous white modular kitchen designs to inspire you!

This dreamy white kitchen design makes the space look open and airy, despite being packed with storage.

#2: Modern White Kitchen Cabinets With a Splash of Green

Who said white can be boring? Add a pop of colour, with a green backsplash, to jazz up your white modular kitchen.

#3: Glossy White Kitchen Design With an Aqua Blue Backsplash

When space is scarce, white can make your kitchen design look spacious while glossy, reflective finishes create the illusion of space. The gorgeous aqua blue backsplash adds a much-needed pop.

#5: A White Kitchen Design With a Black Dado

#6: An L-Shaped Modular White Kitchen

The concept of white kitchens is originally Scandinavian. As the region gets minimal sunlight, the whites accentuate the effect of natural light. To further enhance the bright and airy effect, opt for artificial lights and explore under-cabinet lighting options.

White goes great with wood. This white and wood kitchen design has serene white cabinets and the warm beauty of a wooden backsplash and flooring.

Even if you have a white kitchen design, you can play around with patterns for your backsplash and flooring to add a fun element. For a monochromatic look, choose patterns in black or grey.
