White is not a traditional colour for Indian kitchens, as we typically prefer darker shades. This is primarily because of the rough nature of the Indian style of cooking. It is commonly believed that darker colours for the kitchen will endure curry and oil stains. However, these days, there’s a craze for white kitchen design ideas, as global trends make their way into India. To help you get started, we have curated 65 gorgeous white modular kitchen designs to inspire you!
