Cabinets, flooring, and countertops are the main starting points in a kitchen’s design. There are other details that will complete your kitchen project.

  • Use stainless steel rather than white appliances
  • Stylish open shelving with a natural wooden finish gives a nice touch
  • Adding some color using elements, such as vases of fresh flowers, hung artwork, pot holders, or colorful dish towels.
  • Use backsplash with a sophisticated texture or pattern, such as a tile.

2. Don’t Shy Away from Dreaming Big

Often, people worry that an all-white kitchen will be too cold or bland. In case you like, choosing warm and effective glazed cabinets is a good way to avoid that. It can eliminate the risk of a bland or washed-out solid white wall effect.

3. Contrasting Island can Add a Balance

There are many benefits of choosing a kitchen island in a contrasting island. It is perfect if you do not like the all-white look. Also, it can add visual interest to your kitchen. With a contrasting color island, you can bridge the gap between the adjoining living space and the kitchen, especially when you have an open floor plan.

4. Maximize the Kitchen’s Potential

With glass-front vintage white kitchen cabinets, you can optimize your kitchen design. No matter whether you choose high-quality glass fronts for the whole bank of cabinets or restrict them to one or two, transparent doors will create the image of spaciousness while letting you showcase attractive kitchen glassware and china.

But using these tips are not enough. you need to make sure that they are in good shape.

How to Maintain Your White Kitchen Cabinets?

Here are a few things you can do to keep your antique white kitchen cabinets clean.

  • Protect them from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause the surfaces to turn yellow. To keep this from happening install blinds or curtains.
  • Grease from cooking is one of the primary causes of staining. It happens over time. To keep grease from accumulating on the white kitchen cabinets or the counters, you should get a range hood or exhaust fan as you start to cook.
  • To keep them looking fresh and bright, come up with a cleaning solution using a tablespoon of baking soda, one cup of vinegar, and two cups of warm water. Dip a rag in the solution, wring out the excess liquid, and use the rag to wipe the cabinets.
  • Hard water can lead to stains on the cabinets. The best way to prevent that is to switch to distilled water from regular tap water while cleaning the cabinets.
