There's nothing that looks as clean as an all white kitchen, which seem to be growing in popularity. Wood is still a clear #1, but white is making a push.
The drawer and range are extra fancy, but the colors and style here are what stand out. Raised panel cabinets, tasteful but simple back-splash, and a soft cabinet color to complement the wood floors.
These cabinets might be bamboo, and their rich tones are matched nicely with the backsplash and floor. Aggressive choice for the countertop with the blue won't be for everyone, though.
More ornate backsplash here. Dark red floors dictate that the cabinets be light colored (especially since the windows are far away). I like the pulls and the way the vent cover gives the whole kitchen some depth.
Note the countertop change on the island that matches the main kitchen palette. "Mini" cabinets at the top aren't usable (they are too high) but are an expensive way to get this look.
It's hard to envision galley kitchens that work well, but this one does, I think. The light from above helps to make it feel open, even if the island may effect the efficiency of the kitchen.
