White kitchens are the ultimate blank canvas, which is why the countertop can ultimately make or break the scheme. The right work surface can add warmth, depth, texture and personality and prevent it from looking too stark or sterile. Increasingly, designers are favoring characterful stones that age beautifully, choosing distinctive veining and layered finishes to introduce personality without sacrificing longevity.
‘White kitchens have evolved considerably over the past decade – rather than feeling crisp or clinical, today's best examples are layered, tactile and full of warmth,’ says Venetia Rudebeck, co-founder of Studio Vero.
