Let There Be Light White Kitchen
To add air to the 11-by-13-foot kitchen in this tiny fixer-upper, these homeowners chose to omit upper cabinets and install a skylight for maximum natural light. An antique French farm table that acts as both a work island and an eat-in setup and framed artwork situated throughout the space make it feel more like a room than a kitchen. The walls are painted Simply White by Benjamin Moore.

Wood and White Kitchen
When it came time to choose the lighting in this all-white modern farmhouse kitchen, the homeowners found matching milk glass shades and then went to a lighting store and pieced them all together for "new" sconces. Vertical paneling, shelves, and lower cabinets are all painted a crisp white for a seamless look. An old printing-press work table is now a one-of-a-kind kitchen island.

Statement Appliances in a White Kitchen
A white-and-brass range is classic yet eye-catching, like jewelry for this kitchen.

Stacks of simple wood drawers on either side of the range and other mixed metal accessories really warm up the crisp, white paneled walls.

Blue and White Kitchen
This kitchen looks like it's modeled after the blue and white plates hanging on the wall, with bold touches of royal blue throughout the room.

To avoid a sterile look, opt for creamy whites inspired by the tones found in ironstone. A slightly darker countertop breaks up the wash of white and leads the way for other natural tones, like the wood cutting boards and storage baskets.

Statement Fabric in a White Kitchen
You know that fabric you've been in love with forever? Create a Roman shade and a sink skirt and make that all-white kitchen really sing. We also love the subtle take on a checkerboard floor, shown here with beige and white tiles laid diagonally.
