White cabinets with gold hardware are a popular material combination for kitchen designs, as it’s both timeless and elegant. Gold accents tend to stand out from white cabinetry in a powerful way, allowing for a unique kitchen design with a contemporary twist whether you opt for brushed gold hardware, rose gold, brushed nickel, or brass hardware.
While chrome hardware or champagne copper will add a more modern and clean touch to your cabinet doors, and wood accents will add a warm and natural tone, gold hardware adds a bit of both with its warm metallic appearance that is both elegant and sophisticated.
In the comprehensive list below, you will find my favorite white and gold kitchen design ideas. Some with an appealing vintage note, some with a more modern appearance. What they all have in common though is the way they tend to stand out against the white canvas of the bright white cabinets.
A bright white kitchen with white shaker cabinets and traditional gold hardware
The small gold pulls add a beautiful finishing touch to this classic kitchen with white shaker cabinets that cover almost the entire kitchen wall from top to bottom. The white marble on the countertop also comes back in the backsplash, adding another white element to the stylish kitchen.
The gold hardware is matched with a gold faucet and the brass details in the light fixture above the dining table introduce gold finishes in this section of the kitchen as well.

A classic white kitchen with gold accents and a vintage dining table
This is one of my personal favorite white and gold kitchen design ideas. The crisp white kitchen cabinets paired with the white marble countertops are finished off with elegant gold hardware that is matched by the antique brass faucet by the kitchen sink.
The vintage dining table and the mixture of chairs complement the hardwood floor and this combination of different textures adds a lot of character to this all-white kitchen.
On the ceiling, an impressive row of small lighting fixtures allows for functional worktop lighting, while the black wall lamp next to the minimal range hood adds an industrial touch to the mixture of different styles in this beautiful kitchen space.

A contemporary-style white kitchen with integrated gold hardware
This modern and minimal kitchen design features white cabinets and white countertops that reflect the natural light coming in through those historic windows beautifully. The cabinet hardware is integrated inside of the cabinetry, which is a gorgeous design detail highlighted by the brass inlay that also comes back in the material of the faucet.
The cabinet hardware is center-aligned on the kitchen module with the sink, yet on the cabinet doors on the kitchen island, the matte gold hardware is left aligned.

A classic kitchen with white cabinets and subtle gold cabinet hardware
This spacious classic kitchen design pairs shaker-style off-white cabinets with a white farmhouse sink, a white subway tile backsplash, and a classic stove with traditional gold details.
The brass and gold tones in the cabinet hardware and details on the stove also come back in the elegant faucet by the sink in front of the window.
White cabinets paired with open shelving and gold kitchen hardware
This beautiful white and gold kitchen features a wooden countertop for a natural effect that is finished off with gold details in the cabinet hardware and the matching faucet and soap dispenser.
The open shelf above the sink includes a peg rail underneath it that gives the white kitchen a certain farmhouse style that is complemented by the style of the range hood cover. The off-white cabinets appear to have the same color as the wall for an integrated effect.

White and gold on the bottom, paired with contrasting black glass cabinets on the top
Even though the true focal point in this kitchen is the combination of the three black glass cabinets above the unique tile backsplash, the combination of the white cabinets with the subtle gold hardware and the white marble countertop certainly adds an elegant touch to this eye-catching kitchen design.
The lighting fixtures above the sink and by the coffee machine allow for a vintage look and the combination of the different materials makes this kitchen contemporary and eclectic at the same time.

A modern and minimal white and gold kitchen with a floating shelf
My white and gold kitchen was one of my favorite features in my previous apartment here in Munich. The white cabinets came back in a single floating shelf that spread across the kitchen and the brass cabinet hardware and brass faucet finished the look off perfectly.
To match the white and gold kitchen materials, I would work with brass interior details sometimes, to make the look even more apparent, while other times I would use black accents to make the design stronger.
A shaker-style off-white and gold kitchen with small and elegant cabinet hardware
The gorgeous white kitchen cabinets in this turn-of-the-century interior are finished off with an elegant white marble countertop and the most subtle brass hardware that is small in size, yet adds a powerful effect to the kitchen design.
This kitchen could easily be finished off with rose gold hardware as well. The rose gold would bring out the warm tones in the curtains and hardwood flooring and would have a more feminine effect in the elegant space.

White and gold kitchen in traditional shaker style
This beautiful white shaker kitchen is finished off with a white countertop, a classic stove with stainless steel details, a glossy subway tile backsplash, and traditional gold hardware that finishes off this classic design perfectly.
The powerful combination of white and gold comes back in the pendant lighting above the sink and the daylight coming through that kitchen window makes the white kitchen appear even brighter.

White cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and gold accents in a transitional kitchen
The white shaker-style cabinets in this transitional kitchen stand out against the cool tones in the sage green wall color and are enhanced with a stainless steel stove, stainless steel appliances, and delicate antique brass hardware.
The upper glass cabinets keep the kitchen layout light and airy and the white and gold combination also comes back in the pairing of the white countertops with the brass faucet with a matte finish.

A minimal white kitchen with a white backsplash and brushed gold hardware
The expansive white canvas brought on by the simple and minimal white kitchen cabinets, white countertop, and white subway tile backsplash is enhanced with gold handles on the bottom cabinets and round gold cabinet hardware on the upper cabinets.
The white and gold kitchen features a glossy subway tile, which makes the matte gold hardware stand out even more.

Off-white kitchen cabinets paired with antique brass hardware
The beautiful off-white shaker cabinets in this kitchen are finished off with stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, and traditional yellow gold hardware that finishes off the look of this elegant kitchen design.
The gold of the cabinet hardware also comes back in the gold hanging rail on top of the subway tiles and I love the way the off-white color on the cabinetry stands out against the bright white kitchen countertop.

Minimal white cabinetry enhanced with brass hardware
The simplicity of the minimal white kitchen, white pendant lights, and white walls is enhanced with a brass faucet and brass hardware that transform the kitchen design.
While the brass range hood and stove add contrast on the right side of the kitchen, the antique brass hardware brings the other side of the kitchen together with a muted shine that also comes back in the pendant lighting above the sink.

White shaker kitchen cabinets paired with black countertops and gold hardware
This is one of the most traditional white and gold kitchen ideas on the list, and the gold hardware makes this design shine. While you often see white kitchen cabinets with black countertops paired with black hardware, the bright whites and deep blacks in this laundry room kitchen are paired with elegant touches of gold to add visual interest.
The larger pulls on the top drawers add a farmhouse effect, while the small cabinet pulls on the bottom cabinets underneath the farmhouse sink are more subtle. The hardware is complemented by two brass faucets and wall shelf brackets in the same shade.
