White Kitchen 101

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIM HAZEL

The countertops are Calacatta quartz with bold veining, and they perfectly partner with the white marble tile backsplash. “The pattern and interest of the quartz veining as well as the variable tones of the marble backsplash help keep the all-white kitchen from looking cold and stale,” says Kim.

White kitchens can create a beautiful and clean look, but many people fear that they’ll turn out bland or colorless. Kim Hazel, also known as Kim K Styled with Lace on Instagram (@kimk.styledwithlace), embraced the all-white look while keeping the charm and color in her kitchen by paying attention to patterns and undertones and keeping an eye out for small details. Her kitchen was part of an incredibly budget-friendly remodel that transformed the tired space into an elegant escape.

One example? Her champagne bronze faucets are a statement maker. This tone warms up the kitchen and keeps it cozy. To create a cohesive look, Kim spray-painted her existing hardware to match—a simple way to get a different look for less.
