Ideas on an Antique White Kitchen

There are many great ways to create an antique white kitchen that will stand out and look beautiful.  Some of the styles that can be used to make an antique white kitchen can include a cottage style, a Victorian style and a French country style. Each of these styles has their own unique look.

Cottage Style

A cottage style white kitchen is typically used on smaller kitchens to create a causal feel. This type of kitchen usually has a bright and inviting look that is characterized by the accented cabinetry. The squared off decorative cabinets can be a true white, or also a honey colored white. Some people like to add blue or another accent color to the kitchen. Adding a vintage stove or a refrigerator can really complete the look of this type of kitchen. Simple curtain designs can be used to compliment the look of the cottage white kitchen.

Victorian Style

This style of kitchen is typically more expensive to design than most, because it requires many upscale enhancements and decor. The color is typically not a true white, but instead a cream white that is offset by a dark wood such as cherry or mahogany. Victorian style kitchens have high-end counter tops such as marble. Marble knobs on the doors and cabinets are used to create a high-end luxurious feel to them. The decorations on the backing of the cabinets are usually decorated with carvings such as lace looking carvings and other rounded designs.

French Country

French country style white antique kitchen is like the cottage kitchen in the sense that it is basic. The decor is different in that is uses rustic and countryside style cabinetry that can be antiqued or white washed for effect. The curtains can be farmhouse style or lace depending on the style preference. French country kitchens are simple, but full of country decor.
