White Shaker-style cabinetry (combined with the white tile backsplash) keeps the look of this kitchen clean and creates the illusion of more space. Grounding the all-white look are dark granite counters, chrome hardware, and stainless steel appliances.
This compact kitchen feels larger than it is because of its color scheme of neutrals and whites. A large farmhouse sink and a breakfast bar give this kitchen its cottage charm.
A pair of industrial pendants from Belgium illuminates the oversized marble-topped kitchen island, which welcomes activities from slicing and chopping to doing homework. Large, upholstered kitchen stools are comfortable and look invisible next to the island.
Ample brown barstools encourage kitchen visitors to linger. A copper vent hood makes the room appear taller by drawing the eye upward. A matching copper farmhouse sink is contrasted with a polished-nickel faucet and cabinet hardware. See how to get these kitchens looks and products at my home ideas.
