White remains one of the most classic and timeless colors for kitchens. However, without contrasting tones that add depth and texture, an all-white kitchen can feel monotonous and uninviting—especially during fall and winter, when natural light tends to be scarcer.

According to Homes & Gardens, one of the most effective ways to introduce color contrast in a white kitchen is through accessories and small decorative details, avoiding expensive and time-consuming renovations.
Selena Gomez herself is a great example of how to apply this idea in a simple yet sophisticated way. The actress shared a photo of her kitchen on Instagram, and fans quickly noticed the vibrant touch brought by blue-toned accessories that gave new life to the space. Among the items are turquoise knives (found on Amazon), blue glasses similar to those from Pottery Barn, and an iconic cobalt-blue Le Creuset pot available at Wayfair.
The secret behind the success of this design lies in how accessible Selena’s approach was to updating her kitchen’s color scheme. By investing in blue utensils and accessories kept in view—such as the pot on the counter and the knife block—she managed to add a touch of color and personality without losing the room’s clean and elegant look. Additionally, the glass-front cabinets allow the blue glasses to remain on display, creating a subtle yet striking contrast.
According to Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes & Gardens, “Blue and white are the perfect color combination. When it comes to adding color to a neutral kitchen, you still want that clean, bright feeling—and blue is the best choice to achieve it.” She also points out that the blue accents in Selena Gomez’s kitchen are balanced enough to maintain the neutrality of the space, while adding the boldness needed to make it interesting and inviting.
Next time you think about updating your kitchen, take a look at what you already have in your cupboards. Small changes—such as adding well-placed colorful accessories or displaying glass items in vibrant shades—can completely transform the space, and Selena Gomez’s kitchen proves how simplicity can be synonymous with elegance all year round.
