White + Walnut Kitchen by Gluckstein Home

Not going to lie...I get a bit bored by an all-white kitchen. Despite the fact that white is one of my favorite colors (yes, it counts as a color), to me, there needs to be some sort of contrast or color in the space. When you divert from the all-white playbook, it just gets more interesting and unique.

On the Gluckstein Home Pinterest feed I saw the following kitchen, which perfectly illustrates my point. The bold walnut border accents on the cabinetry make the room look special and dynamic...yet it still is a classic, clean white kitchen. I also think it's a great blend of modern and traditional styles. Anyhow, I wanted to share because it's an out-of-the-box idea for cabinetry and is a great option for those that want a mostly white kitchen...

What do you think? Are you a fan of the all-white kitchen or do you prefer more of a mix of color and materials?

  1. This is such a stunning space Kyle! I also love a bit of contrast. I'm thinking of a gloss white kitchen with walnut coloured benchtops for my new kitchen. So many decisions to make! xx

  3. If I wasn't a fan of mixed materials before this post, I would consider myself a convert. Truth be told, we have a lot of walnut working in our kitchen- which will hopefully someday soon, find it's match in some carrera (or similar) countertops. Nice post!

  4. I will always like white kitchens but I LOVE this kitchen! The added contrast of the walnut trim is fantastic!
