White Tile
“White subway tile in a brick pattern, is my go-to backsplash,” says Kevin Walsh, a designer in Little Rock, AR. “You never get tired of it.” It’s easy on the wallet, too. Subway tile can go for less than $2 per square foot at hardware and home improvement stores. John Colaneri from Cousins Undercover suggests using darker grout as it highlights white tile and shows fewer stains.

White Sink
“A shiny white finish, whether it’s fireclay, ceramic, or enameled cast iron, bounces light around the room, which makes a white kitchen even brighter,” says Tim Barber, a Los Angeles architect. HGTV’s Meg Caswell is a fan too, saying, “I love white sinks made of fireclay because their thick glaze is resistant to chips and scratches.”
