Gwyneth Paltrow expertly added an injection of colour into her sleek, neutral kitchen with a clever, and affordable, design trick we're desperate to recreate.
We love when Gwyneth takes to Instagram to share her tasty and healthy breakfast recipes - and not just because of the delicious food inspiration, but because her kitchen is so stunning!
The sleek, clean and neutral space is so calming, with tall, white cabinets and matching marble worktops creating a lovely environment to look at - and, let's be honest, be envious of too. But the neutral space still feels full of life and excitement thanks to a smart yet subtle kitchen trend.
Look closely at the glass fronted cabinets and you can see the clever way Gwyneth has used green, yellow and pink cookbooks, as well as bright ceramic and glass ware, to incorporate fun pops of colour into her kitchen without overwhelming the space or adding too much clutter.

"The focal point of our home is always the kitchen," Gwyneth said on Instagram when she first revealed her kitchen's design back in 2022.
"Whether it’s a dinner or an afternoon snack for the kids, the happiest moments of the day are centred around food."
And a 'focal point' it certainly is. The space looks not only beautiful, but easy to live and cook in, with lots of counter and floor space allowing people to gather and move around freely while her colourful kitchen cupboard organisation brings in fun, playful elements.
The white could have felt sterile if not for Gwyneth's warm-toned wooden flooring and the colourful blue accents in her choice of tiles - and, of course, the clutter of colourful cookbooks behind her glass-fronted cabinets.
