White kitchens never go out of style, but they need personality to avoid feeling generic. This design uses a sage green backsplash as the defining element, adding color and character while maintaining the bright, clean foundation clients love. The brass hardware reinforces the warmth.

We approached this kitchen as a balance between timeless and interesting. The shaker-style cabinets provide classic structure while the sage tile brings freshness. The marble counters add luxury that the traditional style deserves. Cabinet depth, countertop overhangs, and workflow patterns all influence the final layout.

What makes this kitchen work for real families is its practicality beneath the beauty. The sage tile hides cooking splashes better than white, the brass hardware shows fewer fingerprints, and the marble counters were sealed for everyday use. Pretty and practical.
