Softer whites add warmth.
Though she understands the appeal of a crisp white design, Wax favors a softer version of the hue.
Soft whites can add a warm, more inviting ambiance in the kitchen so she suggests incorporating the color in everything from cabinetry to countertops. She also recommends pairing soft whites with stone.
"A warm, stone-colored backsplash or quartz countertop, including marble or stone-like veining in soft grays, beiges, and slate colors, can add a natural accent color into the airy and easygoing design of the softer white kitchen," she said.
