34 White and Wood Kitchen Ideas That Are Full of Texture and Character (2)

When it comes to kitchen color combinations, there's nothing as classic as white and wood. White has been the paint color of choice for kitchens for years (and it won't wane in popularity anytime soon), and for good reason. White is crisp, fresh, and by choosing white for the walls, cabinetry, range hood, and other features, you'll make sure that your kitchen stands up to any passing trends.

Plus, white is highly versatile, and you can add personality with an accent color, unique tile, or bold fixtures. To keep your white kitchen from coming across stark, mix in warmer elements such as wood to keep the palette neutral, while adding texture, durability, and character.
