White kitchen sets: types, combinations and choice in the interior

White kitchen sets can certainly be called versatile, as they suit almost all interior styles. White color always fills the room with light and comfort, making it more comfortable to stay. Moreover, light kitchens are always in demand. In the article, we will take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of white kitchen sets, learn about their varieties and consider ready-made kitchen options for inspiration, which you can take as the basis for your future project.

Any piece of furniture can have both advantages and disadvantages. To begin with, consider the undoubted advantages of white kitchen sets.

• Kitchen sets in light colors always look calm and neat. In such kitchens, you can safely place all sorts of color accents that will always look appropriate on a white background.
• With the help of a white kitchen set, you can visually make the room more spacious, which is especially important for those residents who have small apartments.
• A kitchen set with white facades can be easily matched to any modern or classic interior style.

The disadvantages include a number of points.

• White kitchens are difficult to maintain. It is very easily soiled, and any dust and dirt will always be conspicuous not only for residents, but also for guests. Moreover, it is many times more difficult to wash any stains and dirt from a bright kitchen than from any colored one.
• For some residents, a white kitchen can evoke a hospital-like vibe, especially when there is a lot of white in the room. To avoid such an unpleasant sensation, it is recommended to avoid white and translucent curtains (it is better to give preference to options with a pattern or dairy), as well as light tablecloths. But even such combinations can be appropriate if the design is well thought out in advance, and there are other bright accents.
• A small disadvantage can be considered the fact that there are a lot of white kitchens today due to the fashion for the so-called Scandinavian style of the interior, in which in most cases there is a white kitchen set.

Today, there are several types of kitchen sets that you can choose for your kitchen, depending on its area and ideas in the interior. Let's consider the most common varieties.

• Linear models (i.e. straight headsets). Such options are especially relevant for small or slightly cramped kitchen areas. In this case, the furniture is located only along one wall.

• For rooms that are elongated, it is best to pay attention to double line kitchen sets... Such options involve placement along two walls at the same time.

• L-shaped kitchen sets can fit perfectly into both small kitchens and large ones. This type can be safely called universal.

• U-shaped layout a kitchen set is suitable for those who dream of a bar counter or an island combined with the kitchen. Not relevant for small and narrow kitchens. U-shaped kitchen sets are considered to be very multifunctional and comfortable, because everything is at hand in them.

• Kitchen set with a separate island. Such a layout is suitable exclusively for large rooms, because in it, in addition to the main kitchen set, part of the furniture (the so-called island) is usually taken to the center of the room for cooking and storing equipment.

White kitchen sets can be either glossy or matte. It should be noted right away that the second ones in terms of care are more practical and less easily soiled, because on the matte surface there are no marks from hands, unlike glossy options. Moreover, glossy facades are more difficult to maintain if they do not have classic door openers.

In order for the kitchen set to attract not only externally, but also be very functional, durable and ergonomic, it is recommended to be very careful about the choice of material, from which the body and the façade of the headset will be made.

• The set can be made of natural wood. This option, of course, is considered quite expensive, but at the same time very wear-resistant and durable. Moreover, natural wood options are environmentally friendly, and therefore do not harm health in any way. With proper care, kitchen sets made of natural wood are not affected by moisture and perfectly tolerate cleaning with delicate detergents. Often, kitchen sets made of natural wood are complemented with glass facades, this is especially true for a classic interior style. Of the minuses - only the high price and rather heavy weight of the natural product.
• MDF panels. Such panels are usually made from environmentally friendly and safe waste, as well as using a special decorative film. Headsets from MDF panels are considered the second in the ranking after options from natural wood.
• Chipboard. Particleboard headsets are considered to be very profitable and common for purchase.Particleboard is a compressed wood chipboard that is in high demand due to its favorable price. Moreover, chipboard kitchens are available in a wide range of colors. Only with high-quality installation will chipboard panels be resistant to moisture and, in general, to the microclimate of the kitchen.

And also facades can be made of such a durable material as acrylic, and often from plastic - a cheaper, but no less stable analogue, which is often used instead of acrylic.

One of the most common combinations is a white headset top and a dark bottom (black, brown, dark green). This option is very advantageous even in terms of practicality and care.

White kitchen sets are in perfect harmony with silver appliances and utensils. In terms of colors, you can experiment with a tile backsplash. So, against the general white background of the kitchen unit, it can be chosen bright. Very original solutions are also welcome, for example, lemon tiles or bright green.

A gray-white kitchen set, as well as any options with a metallic color, will perfectly fit into any modern interior, especially in high-tech or minimalist style. But the red and white, purple and white or blue and white headsets are ideal for the contemporary style.

White color is versatile, and therefore it is without any problems will suit almost any interior design of a kitchen space.

• Classic. For classic kitchens, experts most often recommend choosing options for cabinets with hinged doors, it is also possible to have a sideboard. Classic light kitchens of this kind look very impressive with a cooking island in the center of a large kitchen.

• For kitchens made in Scandinavian design, it is common to use wooden surfaces of the headset, painted with glossy lacquer or matte paint, the latter being the most in demand because of their practicality.

• Country and Provence. Light kitchen sets in such styles are often decorated with original ornaments and even patterns; as in the classic versions, they may contain original wood carvings.

• For modern interiors it is relevant to use light kitchens (with matte or glossy fronts) with integrated handles and fully integrated appliances. This is especially true for high-tech and minimalist styles. Most often, this type of headset is made of acrylic, plastic or varnish.

You can make a special accent in the design of the kitchen set with a contrasting apron or countertop. The most durable and practical are countertops made of artificial stone.

The most successful option today is the combination of a white furniture set with a light finish indoors. And such a move in creating the interior of a room does not at all depend on the chosen style. Although this is especially true for a classic interior, as well as for country and Provence style. To avoid monochrome, it is recommended to skillfully place accents, which can be used, for example, dark technology, especially if it is not built-in.

When creating an interior, the color of the walls should be in good harmony with the chosen shade of the headset., because white is very versatile, it has quite a few shades.If the room is made in eco-style, then you can complement the white kitchen set with finishing materials (walls) with green tints, or choose a natural color for the floor. Parquet and various laminates are welcome.

In a modern interior, where a white suite is combined with white appliances, and there are also light walls, you can make a yellow apron as an accent, which can also be complemented by chairs with yellow upholstery.

Combinations of wallpaper, as well as ceiling and flooring are quite important, although white is “friendly” with almost all color palettes. To create a beautiful interior, it is recommended to design in advance a future room with a kitchen on paper or using a special program. Sometimes the help of a specialist can come in handy.

A black and white straight headset with a matte texture and a bright red glossy apron looks very expensive. In this case, the table top can be made in black or white, but black will be more practical.

In a classic style, kitchen options with a marbled apron look very attractive. Marble is successfully combined with natural wood. Usually, marble imitation is made from large porcelain stoneware so that the joints are invisible.

Trendy white kitchen sets are usually made with overhead shelves to the ceiling. And also they often use built-in appliances, integrated handles and exquisite large hoods, which are a kind of accent in the headset.

Designers recommend paying attention to a modern black and white headset with properly selected lighting. In such light-colored headsets, you can often find a stone countertop with decorative chips or sparkles.
