In school cafeterias, restaurant kitchens, and hospital kitchens, white is still the most common color. There are also many reasons for that, in addition to the fact that white simply looks clean.
Kitchens have experienced the dull pastels and lime greens of the 1970s, and most recently, off-white colors have been taking the world of kitchen decor by storm. Today, however, a resurgence of an old, never-out-of-style favorite, white.
This new growing trend in white kitchens is also helped by another trait that is particular to white kitchens; its ability to transform. Simply add some black gloss handles on the drawers and cupboards, and a few black or silver accent pieces, and your kitchen will go from white to white with a modern edge.
