1. INTRODUCE COOL COLORED TILING
If you want to bring a little more interest to your kitchen with colored tiling, taking your cues from nature is always a great place to start. A subtle touch of green or blue will always work well with white, whereas something from the warmer end of the color wheel will only create too much of a contrast. Instead, reliable blues or greens from across the spectrum will help your kitchen feel calming.
2. VEINED MARBLE
Another great option is to wrap your counter up onto the backsplash. This always looks timeless and makes things super easy to keep clean. Adding in an interesting stone countertop and backsplash combination helps add contrast against a stark white kitchen but in a subtle way that helps blend the white space.
3. NEUTRAL COLORED ZELLIGE TILES
There is something quite flat and one-dimensional about the all-white look, but you also might not want to add color to your bathroom. Add dimension and mix it up with subtle textures and material. Zellige has had a huge resurgence in 2023, and we love the finish for its shimmery, uneven surface and handmade look.
4. DARK STONE
Mixing white cabinets with a dark stone is a classic look that will never go out of style. ‘Stone is a kitchen splashback that will never go out of style,' says Christie of Ward + Gray. 'There is something so clean and classic to continuing your stone kitchen countertop on your backsplash.
5. HIGH SHINE SPLASHBACK
Go for something metallic and reflective, the perfect antidote to a boring and tired old white kitchen. Not only does it make a kitchen feel a little more contemporary and stylish, but it's a great way to make a small kitchen feel bigger.
