When Justin Baldoni isn't working on the set of It Ends With Us, he's with his family in their gorgeous white kitchen. An Instagram reel posted by the actor shows his wife dancing around in the bright, modern space, among their white cabinets, white walls, and white island. It's cool, inviting, and serves as a backdrop for the rest of their decor.
Baldoni's white kitchen is proof of something we've been saying at Homes & Gardens for years: white never goes out of style. The use of the color on the kitchen cabinets is especially striking. His Instagram video shows that the actor's top and bottom cabinets are both painted white, with circular black hardware. The dark hardware stands out against the bright white paint, giving the entire room an exceedingly modern feel.
Nina Lichtenstein, an acclaimed Westchester-based interior designer, says: 'A white kitchen cabinet color exudes a sense of cleanliness and spaciousness that is hard to match. The color white reflects light, making even the smallest kitchens feel open and airy. This timeless appeal ensures that white kitchens remain relevant regardless of changing trends.'
She continues, 'The neutral palette acts as a blank backdrop, allowing for endless customization and personalization, whether you favor a minimalist modern look or a more traditional style.' This effect can be seen in Baldoni's home, where paintings, houseplants, and an artistic glass light fixture stand out in sharp relief against the stark color scheme. It's also evident in the way the view out the window shines.
Furthermore, the way the decorator has made the cabinet color flush with the kitchen countertops unites the entire scheme. Though it's more common to see contrasting countertops and cabinets, the mass of white creates unity and brightness. The kitchen automatically looks clean and stylish. Baldoni's connection between countertops and cabinets also helps the natural grain of the wood floor to stand out even more and look even more interesting against the white blacks at the edge of the room.

As seen in Baldoni's space, kitchen cabinet hardware can have a huge impact on the overall impact of the room. For instance, the black half moon pulls make his space feel contemporary. If you prefer a more classic look, opt for brushed brass or silver. On the other hand, glossy gold or chrome hardware with high reflectivity can bring a luxe feel to your space. White cabinets are endlessly versatile, so thinking about hardware is a great way to nail down the exact style you want.
