Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton might be in the business of going fast, but his kitchen design is as slow and intentional as they come. Namely, his black-and-white color palette is utterly timeless. Hamilton's kitchen features polished black floors and crisp white walls, ceilings, and cabinetry.
Gorgeous brass pendant lights hang from the ceiling, echoed by the brass edging snaking around the cabinets. An entire wall of windows floods the space with natural light, and Hamilton's choice of glossy white paint bounces it throughout. The overall effect is to create an inviting but opulent mood.
'Lewis Hamilton's is the epitome of modern luxury,' says Jennifer Ebert, interior design expert and digital editor at .
