1. Warm Up Classic Whites With Modern TimbersWhite kitchens are a timeless choice that continue to emerge as the winner of the kitchen popularity contest, but best of all this look is extremely easy-going and adaptable. White cabinetry is the perfect companion to many other textures and finishes, such as rich timber accents that warm up the space to make the scheme more inviting. Try pairing white with a statement feature such as a timber-panelled island front, or a timber rear benchtop. Alternatively, emulate a high-end look without the designer price tag by using timber detailing to define the joinery and open shelves.Introduce timber accents through the accessories. Extend the warming timber theme through to the door handles, kitchen stools and even the pendant lights, for a designer look that feels slick and polished.
