This post was supposed to be about open shelves in the kitchen, oh how I love them! But while doing a bit of image research I came across a common denominator I felt in love. White tile and back splashes. I haven't had tile in the kitchen for a long while now and I think I miss it, it adds an understated kitchen elegance and makes the kitchen a more welcoming and useful place. And the combination between tiles and open shelving makes it even better, if at all possible! What is the one thing you dream of in a kitchen?





i love the examples with the open shelving! the tiles really add another layer of texture.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the white tiling with the open shelves as well! What I really love is open shelving with cookbooks in the kitchen. For some reason I'm obsessed with that, it really appeals to me. Like a little cookbook library in the kitchen! I love #4, that is my dream kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI love this combination as well. It is so neat and chic
ReplyDeleteMy dream kitchen is similar to your images...love subway tiles in a brick pattern & white/grey granite or marble countertops.
ReplyDeleteAll of these kitchens are to die for! I love white subway tile... Living in SF, I've had to settle for a sad mini little 1930s kitchen...so, one day!!
ReplyDeleteI love these perfectly white kitchens! Aren't they SO divine?? I hope you have a wonderful week and Happy Monday!

I dream of Carerra Marble counters, white cabinets, a huge sink, and an over-the-stove faucet. Yeah - I dream about kitchen stuff a lot! Love tiled backsplashes! Something shiny always catches my eye!

I both LOVE and hate looking at these posts, they make me drool with envy and wish i could decorate my rented house! I don' think there's anything more beautiful than a stunning white brick tiled kitchen! makes me think of cocktails round the table with old friends on a late Sunday evening!
ReplyDeleteI love clean, white, minimalistic kitchens!

So clean. That first photo just makes me happy! I can totally see you in these spaces! xo
ReplyDeleteI love tile in the kitchen as well. Especially white. It opens the whole space up. Ah what meals I would cook in any one of these babies! :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love this. So bright and clean-looking! You can never go wrong with white, plus it allows you to make other things stand out.
ReplyDeleteMy dream kitchen looks a lot like these photos; a lot of space and white, white, white. I love especially the white wooden floor, and the open shelves.

I am with you! I have seriously been coveting a white tile kitchen lately. These are all so pretty and it makes any color pop!

Such a clean look, I like!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take the doors off my shelves like this. All white...so pretty. =)

I adore white subway tile AND open shelving, so this post makes me weak in the knees! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love the way this looks. So clean and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing I love more for a kitchen than the clean, crisp look, which is only perfectly achieved by white subway tiles. I'm not sure I could pull off open shelves. Definitely not organized enough!
ReplyDeleteNow come on, how could you not love these beautiful kitchens??? And the tile...I could have that tile all over my house and love every minute! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes and yes again! All of these are dreamy!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! White tiles are kitchen perfection!
ReplyDeleteHave a pretty day!

I absolutely want white subway tiles in my kitchen. Such a great roundup!

We put these in in the kitchen in our flat, i was so sad when we had to leave them when we moved. We're going to replace the ones in our kitchen with these as soon as we find time!

Very nice, Helena! I really like the kitchen shown in image no.05 especially... as for myself, I crave a kitchen that is cozy and warm, yet slightly modern, with a grand, elaborate mirror in gold :)
ReplyDeleteI also like white tiles in the kitchen and it really hard to maintain because It gets messy very quickly.
