15 chic white and gold kitchen design ideas to refresh your space. Show
Yes, the all-white kitchen is timeless. It’s bright, uncomplicated and beautiful. But have you considered adding gold? Bronze, gold or brass hardware finishes can add exceptional luxury and charm to a bright white kitchen. There’s a multitude of creative ways to add this popular metallic finish to your kitchen design, from cabinet hardware to pendant lighting. Before you decide whether the white and gold kitchen is right for you, you should first consider what kind of gold you’d like to add. Although most people see a bronze-y yellow color and call it “gold”, there are actually many variations of gold colored metals. There is the traditional yellow gold, with warmer undertones. Alternatively, there are also copper-based alloys, like brass and bronze. These copper-based materials can be purchased at a lower cost and come in a variety of colors and undertones. You can find gold kitchen accents for low cost in a variety of different styles. We recommend ordering a sample first to see what the finish will look like in your white kitchen. Whether you’re doing a full kitchen remodel or just want to add a few updated finishes, adding gold to your design can make it feel fresh and chic. If you’re ready to take your white kitchen to the next level, keep reading to explore 15 unique gold and white kitchen design ideas.
