White is the simplest and most flexible color there is; yet it intimidates us and we are afraid to take advantage of its advantages. On the one hand, this achromatic color is very popular, because it makes any place open and bright. It gives a larger impression of a room. On the other side, it’s a stain-prone color. Which makes us ask the question: is it a good idea to have white cupboards? Several designers say yes and we agree with them. Discover 25 chic kitchens thanks to the white cupboards.
1. An open kitchen
Interior designer Remy Meijers opted for the combination of white and gray for this 1950s kitchen, in a bungalow in Baambrugge, the Netherlands. The neutral color scheme is perfect for the kitchen; which allows it to blend in and have an open and spacious appearance.

to inject some pep into a white kitchen, it is sometimes enough to buy new handles. Unearth original door knobs in a style that suits you so as to personalize this kitchen which may seem a little cold. Everything is possible from the moment they give style to your furniture. Here is a very good example, the golden handles bring a very elegant note on simple furniture.
17. A few touches of black
