Why White Kitchen Appliances Are Trending Again
Design trends tend to come full circle, and white kitchen appliances are proof of that. After years of stainless steel—and more recently, black stainless—dominating the scene, many homeowners are leaning into lighter, brighter finishes that feel clean and refreshing.
The rise of matte white appliances and minimalist design has helped white make its way back into kitchens in a big way.
You may ask, "What kind of kitchen cabinets go with white appliances?" Since white kitchen appliances work beautifully in both modern and classic settings, pairing just as well with warm wood cabinets as they do with crisp, contemporary lines.
Whether it's a built-in dishwasher that disappears seamlessly into your cabinetry, a statement wall oven for a cohesive look, or a ventilation hood that blends in, white finishes help create a calm and polished atmosphere. It even works outside in the kitchen, like your laundry room.
True, white appliance finishes may not hide fingerprints quite as well as black stainless steel, but they’re no less durable. In fact, white finishes (especially matte white kitchen appliances) tend to conceal small scratches better than shiny stainless and are often easier to keep clean with everyday wipe-downs with no special products required.
So, are white kitchen appliances in style for 2025? Absolutely. With their versatility, timeless appeal, and fresh aesthetic, white is a clever, stylish choice for the modern kitchen.

Pros and Cons of White Kitchen Appliances
Before you commit to white, weigh the pros and cons of white kitchen appliances. Here’s a quick overview to guide your decision for appliance color choices:
Why This Finish Could Be Perfect for Your Kitchen
Enduring Elegance
A timeless style that complements a wide range of kitchen designs, from traditional to transitional.
Effortless Coordination
Pairs easily with many cabinet colors and finishes, making design choices simpler.
Space-Enhancing Brightness
Reflects light to brighten kitchens and make smaller spaces feel more open and airy.
Low-Maintenance Shine
Easier to clean and maintain than many stainless steel finishes.
Scratch-Camouflaging Surface
Conceals minor scratches better than high-shine metal surfaces.
Consider These Before You Decide
Risk of Looking Outdated
May appear dated if not paired with the right cabinets, countertops, or hardware.
Smudge and Fingerprint Visibility
Fingerprints and smudges may still show, especially on glossy finishes.
Style Limitations
Can clash with ultra-modern or industrial kitchen aesthetics.
Limited Selection
Some brands offer fewer models in this finish compared to stainless steel lines.
Styling Tips: Cabinets, Counters & Colors That Match
Styling white kitchen appliances is all about balance and contrast. The right mix of finishes, colors, and textures can render your white appliances feel intentional and modern, not plain or out of place.
Cabinets That Complement
Modern white kitchen appliances pair beautifully with a range of cabinet colors. Natural wood tones add warmth and a grounded feel, while navy and black create bold, modern contrast. Soft greys are also a smart pick; they're subtle enough to keep the space light, yet stylish enough to stand out.
Countertops That Work Well
For countertops, quartz is a go-to for a polished, modern look that plays well with white finishes. Butcher block counters offer a warm, inviting contrast that suits farmhouse or rustic kitchens. For something a bit more dynamic, light-toned granite adds texture without overwhelming the clean look of your appliances.
Backsplash & Flooring Ideas
Use backsplash tiles to either blend or contrast. White subway tiles create a seamless look, while patterned or darker backsplashes can add depth and visual interest. For flooring, natural wood, neutral tiles, or even bold geometric patterns can help tie the whole look together.
Style Matches That Shine
Matte white kitchen appliances fit especially well into Scandinavian, farmhouse, or minimalist kitchen designs. Their soft, clean finish supports a clutter-free, calming atmosphere—perfect for those who love a space that feels both relaxed and refined.

Why Trust Urner's and Urner's Mattress?
Urner’s started on the back of a bicycle - yup! A bicycle! David E. Urner, a local high school teacher, who spent his summer months selling Wear Ever cookware off the back of a bicycle (think 100+ degrees). David teamed up with another local teacher, Errol P. Janes to create “a new type of store – one that would cater exclusively to providing an easier way of living for the women of Kern County”, and on September 19, 1919, Home Appliance Store was opened to the public. The store boasted a rather impressive selection of “modern” appliances, including a washing machine, a freezer, a gas range, an automatic dishwasher, and an assortment of small appliances. Since then, Urner’s has expanded selections to appliances, furniture, mattresses, and cabinetry!
For nearly one century, the Urner family and Urner’s business have both been an integral part of Bakersfield and Kern County, with contributions to community (Better Business Bureau, Sister City Projects, Bakersfield Symphony), charity (Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Dream Home, House of Hope) and education (CSU Bakersfield, Ray Dezember Leadership Development Center.
