Jenny Marrs loves to use color in her designs, but she also fully embraces a classic white kitchen. The HGTV star shared some of her tips for incorporating design elements that elevate a kitchen beyond bland and boring.
Jenny Marrs Gives Advice on Designing a White Kitchen
On March 6, Dave and Jenny Marrs’ Instagram account featured a post called “Jenny’s Guide to White Kitchens.”
Jenny included photos to illustrate her design advice, showing the impact that even small details can have on the final look — from incorporating wood and texture, to adding brass hardware.
“Welcome back to Friday Q+A! This week we’re talking about how to warm up a white kitchen,” the caption noted.
The HGTV stars shared, “One of the easiest ways to add warmth is by incorporating natural wood tones. Whether it’s wood shelving, a butcher block accent, or wood flooring, these elements add depth and create a foundation that balances bright cabinetry.”
“Another detail we love is warm metals,” Jenny wrote. “Brass hardware and faucets bring in contrast and help soften an all-white palette while still feeling classic.”
As for lighting, she shared, “Woven or fabric light fixtures paired with warm lighting can instantly make a kitchen feel more inviting and layered.”
Texture can come from small elements, but have a big impact. “From handmade or textured tile to simple styling elements like cutting boards, linens, and greenery, these small details help a white kitchen feel warm, lived in, and balanced,” Jenny explained.
She also included the paint color — “Benjamin Moore White Dove,” calling it “a beautiful white with warm undertones.”
“White kitchens will always feel classic — it’s the layers of warmth and texture that make them feel special,” the “Fixer to Fabulous” star added.

“Jenny, as always an amazing kitchen,” another fan wrote.
“What paint sheen do you like to use for cabinets?” another fan asked. Jenny responded, “I use a low sheen on cabinetry and trim!”
Others noted, “Love this look” and “I love everything you do.”
In response to a fan who asked about the pendant light fixture, she noted, “It is from West Elm. The link is available on our website.”
One of the HGTV star’s followers asked a question for the next Q&A installment. “Who pays for the furniture when you stage the houses? Is it included in their budget? Or is it just staged and then the clients bring in their own stuff?”
