Timeless appeal makes white kitchens a popular choice for many Melbourne homeowners.
Clean, crisp and fresh, it’s a colour that optimises your home’s natural light and can make small spaces appear larger.
White works well for all kitchen styles – from French Provincial through to ultra contemporary. It’s such a versatile colour choice; white can be both edgy and modern or elegant and classic.
From milky satin-painted cabinets to glossy ivory splashbacks and silky smooth stone benchtops, a white colour palette brings a sense of luxury and simple elegance.
Keep in mind that there are multitudes of different shades of white. Whether you want your kitchen to be as white as snow, a pearly ivory or something else, the key is to understand the undertones of the white that you choose.
Your white may have undertones of pink, yellow, grey or blue. These tones are affected by the quality of light in your home (both natural light and electric) as well as surrounding colours.
For example, a red feature wall that’s visible from the kitchen will enhance any pink undertones while blue walls or carpet will bring out any grey or blue tones.
Your choice of surfaces and finishes will also affect how your white colour palette appears. A matt finish and a high-gloss white surface have very different effects and impacts.
It’s not even just a case of choosing between matt or gloss as there are also different levels of gloss available. Or for sheen without too much shine, a satin finish may be best for your home.
The kitchen designers at Rosemount can help you navigate these kinds of considerations to ensure you’ll be delighted with your new kitchen (whether it be white or otherwise).

Embellishing with colour and texture will ensure that an all-white kitchen doesn’t come across as clinical, unwelcoming or boring.
Check out our blog post on splashes of colour for suggestions on how to use colour too add warmth, interest and personality to your space – such as this kitchen in Coburg. It uses a classic black to contrast with the walls, splashback, blind and cabinetry.

With today’s modern surfaces and finishes, keeping a white kitchen clean and fresh is much easier than it used to be. Often all that’s needed is a quick wipe and it’s as good as new. Surfaces with a gloss finish are particularly easy to clean.
Likewise, advances in technology and materials have also resulted in greater durability and longevity for surfaces and finishes, which means your white kitchen will look pristine for years to come. Whether you plan on living in your home for many years or are thinking of selling, these days a white kitchen will definitely stand the test of time.

I just love this kitchen. It’s worked out perfectly. We had a builder working on the rest of the house and he couldn’t believe how well the kitchen was made and put in, and the after sales service from Rosemount was fantastic.
A complete kitchen renovation was performed with as little disruption as possible to our household. Having had plenty of work done around the house over the years, I recognise and appreciate quality work, and Rosemount provide that in abundance. They’re also terrific people to deal with.
People love the kitchen, and are blown away with the transformation. And for me it’s not just beautiful, every part is so functional.
Rosemount made this an easy and mostly seamless undertaking for us and the results are significantly better than we anticipated. To say we are delighted with our new kitchen is a gross understatement. It is just sensational.
Rosemount’s service was outstanding from start to finish. We love our new kitchen and couldn’t be happier with the experience we had. I would highly recommend Rosemount without hesitation.
Rosemount were by far the best of the trades we dealt with in our whole renovation, and continue to be. And we had a great kitchen designer who was clearly excited about doing something a bit different and edgier. He really brought some of my ideas in the kitchen to life.
Everyone within the company is fantastic, from the reps to the managers/owners to the tradesmen. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to look after this build.
