Kitchen Color Trend: Dark Gray
Rich gray cabinets, like in this kitchen by @londonpiercedesign, deliver a high-impact look as a timeless neutral you won’t tire of quickly. Many shades of gray have been popular in home decor for some time and remain popular. Skip the light, cool grays and go for a rich, warm gray for a more updated look.

Kitchen Color Trend: Muted Blue
A blue kitchen looks fresh and welcoming. This space by @chadesslingerdesign features a shade of blue with gray undertones, giving it a sophisticated look that’s not too bright. Notice the rest of the finishes are classic black, white and wood tones. It’s a good idea to stick to one pop of color (in this case, the cabinets) to allow the rest of the kitchen to breathe.

Kitchen Color Trend: Black and White
Black and white kitchens have been around for decades. For a fresh twist on a classic, mix in different shades of ivory and beige, as shown here in this kitchen by @kms.home. The variation of whites and creams in the tiled backsplash help to elevate the space, while also delivering a timeless look. P.S. These are the best tile options for your kitchen backsplash.

Kitchen Color Trend: Warm Neutrals
Move over bright white kitchens! Warm grays, creamy whites, natural woods and leather accents are taking over. A kitchen designed with warm neutrals, like this example from @terranelsonhome, adds a dose of coziness while still feeling clean and airy. If you want to achieve a similar look, take note that the cabinets are painted Pashmina by Benjamin Moore. Still can’t decide? If you want some more inspiration you should check out this curated list of kitchen decor ideas.

Kitchen Color Trend: Dark Wood Tone
For a long time everywhere you looked, homeowners covered up their wood cabinets with paint. But guess what? Wood is back! We’re seeing a big resurgence of wood cabinets in all different tones. The dark walnut cabinets chosen here by @intheozarks add rich texture and dimension, while the rest of the white and gold finishes keep the overall style bright and modern.

Kitchen Color Trend: Teal
If you don’t want to commit to color on your walls or all your cabinets, try limiting the color to one section, such as a coffee bar or pantry cabinet. This white kitchen by @rebeccarhey benefits from the pop of teal cabinets next to the breakfast nook. The unexpected but refreshing color energizes the whole kitchen.

Kitchen Color Trend: Light Wood Tone
The light wood tones used in this kitchen by @joelleelainedesign feel warm yet modern. The shaker style cabinets are clean and streamlined, but the natural wood adds a note of tradition. Wood also helps your kitchen cabinets feel more like furniture, turning the whole space into a cozy and inviting gathering spot.

Kitchen Color Trend: Muddy Green
If there’s one color we’re seeing pop up absolutely everywhere, including the kitchen, it’s green! To avoid a too-bright green that looks more like it belongs in a kid’s room, turn to muddy, muted greens that have plenty of gray undertones. These greens are classic, sophisticated and look stunning in a kitchen, as shown here in this calm kitchen by @fairhaven.home.

Kitchen Color Trend: Blue and White
If you love black and white kitchens, you’ll probably also love blue and white kitchens! Still classic, but with a playful twist. Try using blue on the lower cabinets and white on the uppers, like in this kitchen from @rebeccarhey. You get a dash of bold color without fully committing to allover blue.

Kitchen Color Trend: Pop of Pink
White subway tile was once king in the kitchen, but now we’re seeing tile in all sorts of shapes, patterns and colors. And we love it! The pink cement tile on the peninsula of this modern kitchen by @copelandandco is the star of the show. Look for unexpected places in your kitchen to add colorful tile in your favorite color.

Kitchen Color Trend: Sunshine Yellow
If you’re really ready to go bold in your kitchen, why not bring in the sunshine? These yellow cabinets from @gettingstuffdoneinheels manage to look happy and unexpected, but also chic. The trick is to choose the perfect shade of yellow. Not too bright, but not pastel. Aim for a more grounded, golden yellow like Behr Dandelion Wish or Sherwin-Williams Nugget.

Kitchen Color Trend: Dark and Moody
Would you ever go all black in your kitchen? Black might just be the new white. In favor of one black element, like cabinets or counter tops, you can really make a statement by choosing black for everything. This kitchen by @spacehavenhome features black cabinets, countertops and wall paint that work together in perfect, deliberate harmony.

Designer Karen Swanson limited the number of cabinet uppers she installed in this English countryside-inspired kitchen, explaining that, "so many people want to blanket the wall in cabinets, but that can make a kitchen feel heavy and claustrophobic.

how to choose? Design rules, design options
What shades to choose for the kitchen interior
Beige kitchen - most people associate this delicate shade with calmness, warmth and comfort. It is often used to create classic interiors. One of the advantages of this color is the ability to successfully combine with a variety of shades. The beige tone itself exists in numerous variants, so each person can choose the most suitable one. nine0006
Such gentle tones are popular: sand, cream, wheat, caramel, powder. All of them are ideal for creating strict interiors in European and Scandinavian style, as well as in more delicate shabby chic and Provence styles.
White kitchen - you can confidently call it a classic of the genre. White kitchens are always popular, regardless of any fashion trends. Kitchen in white tones is always elegant and concise. Plus, using white is a great way to visually open up a cramped space. nine0006
The use of shades of white is appropriate when creating all popular interior styles without exception. To prevent such a kitchen from looking lifeless and sterile, designers advise adding some contrasting shades.
The light gray palette is a good option for decorating the kitchen. The variety of shades of gray is amazing, they can look cold, warm, modern, restrained and noble, especially when combined with other tones. nine0006
So that the gray kitchen does not seem too boring to the inhabitants of the home, materials such as light gray natural or synthetic stone, deep gray porcelain stoneware, metallic silver should be used.
Light shades of gray can be successfully combined and combined with white, black, red, blue and yellow.
Light yellow kitchen - this sunny interior design option is ideal for sociable and open people, real optimists and sanguine people. Light yellow tones can invigorate and uplift, they also activate mental activity, increase appetite and promote good digestion. nine0006
However, it should be remembered that the abundance of yellow in any room can quickly get bored, so it is recommended to combine it with other shades - for example, with pale blue, white, gray, green.
Sunny hues can be used well in a small kitchen with windows facing the cold north side. All the walls in the room should not be made yellow, but you can paint only one of them in this cheerful color. nine0006
Light pink kitchen is perhaps the most glamorous interior design option, especially in combination with black glossy surfaces. However, a delicate and soft pink, almost powdery color, is ideal when it comes to such "doll" styles as shabby chic and Provence.
You should definitely combine it with cool white shades, and rich fuchsia tones will help to brighten up the design.
Light green kitchen is a good choice if you need to refresh the interior, breathe life into it, make it more optimistic and bright.
Walls may well be light green, it is worth choosing green textiles for them, you can also use shades of grassy green when arranging ceramic mosaics.
Naturally, light green tones are recommended to be combined with other shades.
Its combination with rich yellow, classic beige, light gray, blue will be ideal. The green color should not be too intense, it is best to use it as an additional, rather than the main tone. Red color - a symbol of love and good luck It is believed that this color is capable of exerting the strongest influence on a person. But in addition to relieving depression and the ability to warm, its excess in the interior can lead to irritation and even rage. nine0006
It's best to add a few bright accents - like a painting, or pillows on a sofa, spice them up with small accessories, like a vase or figurine. All this will give you a surge of new strength and increased mental performance.
The kitchen apron is an equally important functional component of the kitchen space, so you can also decorate it in red. You can make an apron from ceramic tiles, bricks or glass. All options look pretty nice and interesting. nine0006
Brilliant metal will add a wealth and luxury to
sophisticated and elegant kitchen design loft
In a modern way to decorate the interior of the kitchen is to make a glass apron
, Red kitchens , they are used by large popularity. And it's not easy. This color adds respectability and gloss to kitchen furniture, and also contributes to a cheerful mood in the morning. Often, the facades of kitchen sets are made in shades of red. Against their background, chrome or glossy surfaces look more modern and stylish. The undoubted advantage is the fact that the red color is considered non-staining, practical and even masking pollution. This kitchen will be appreciated by every housewife. nine0006
It is almost impossible to meet a kitchen made in one color, red is no exception. It harmonizes perfectly with many other colors, such as white, gray or brown. In tandem with other shades, red is able to reveal its full potential, which allows you to give the interior a new impetus, as well as add expressiveness and dynamism.
Sleek and spacious kitchen in contemporary style
Decorative brickwork above the work area blends seamlessly into any kitchen décor
The red shade of the facades can convey a positive mood and cause a storm of positive emotions
There is an opinion that red increases appetite, so its presence in the kitchen is desirable, at least in a minimal amount. In parallel, it should be borne in mind that red and all its shades have a slight irritating effect, so it is unlikely to suit lovers of calm colors.
Orange - source of energy and heat
Orange color will charge you with good mood and positive energy for the whole day. This color is considered the most healing of all, affecting both the physical state of a person and the psychological one. Positive in energy, it will appeal to cheerful, expressive people.
Once in the kitchen, made in orange tones, you will get only positive emotions. This positive and sunny color can strengthen the nervous system and increase mental productivity, as well as relieve stress and bring joy to life. nine0006
Moreover, it almost does not bother and does not hurt the eyes, which makes it possible to use a large palette of the same color in the room. With the help of orange, you can create a cozy interior of the kitchen area, complementing it with black, gray, brown, peach and pistachio shades.
Calm and cozy kitchen interior in light and orange colors
Warm shades of orange create a calm and cozy atmosphere in the kitchen interior
A play of shades of white and orange, creating the effect of extra space
You shouldn't flood the whole room with one orange, but you shouldn't be afraid of this color either. The main thing is to correctly arrange its combination with other shades. Feel free to hang bright curtains in the kitchen or put a comfortable sofa of this shade in it. This will give the room a complete and cohesive look.
The light color of the kitchen is not only cold white. In fact, the choice of shades is very large: delicate pink, discreet beige, ivory, warm vanilla, refreshing pastel blue and green, strict gray, feminine violet, eccentric metallic and others. nine0006
Even white color has a huge palette of shades, just people who are far from design do not always think about it. But, by combining them correctly, you can give the kitchen additional facets, textures, which will make it unique and interesting.
Light shades have a lot of advantages:
- have a positive effect on the psycho-emotional state of a person;
- at the right time tuning to the working mood; nine0009
- visually make the room spacious, fill it with light;
- can be easily combined with other shades;
- are suitable for rooms made in different styles.
Light kitchens also have disadvantages, but there are only three main ones:
- soiled;
- dullness and routine;
- with the wrong combination of shades - coldness.
Tip! Completely white kitchens are important to beat with bright accents, otherwise they will resemble an operating room. Add a drop of black, red, orange or other catchy color to the interior, and then the white room will be transformed beyond recognition. Even pleasant little things on the tables, napkins, an apron, appliances can become accents. nine0006
The main hints 9000 notice. In nature, beige is found in the form of sand, stones, shells, light woods, faded plants, in the color of animals ... and even the color of our skin is one of the shades of beige, so it is combined with almost all colors of the rainbow. nine0006
But in order to create the desired mood and style in your kitchen, you need to choose the right companion colors.
Beige has over 1000 variations, from light brown to cream. It can have a neutral, warm and cold temperature, and this must be taken into account when drawing up the range of the interior.
1. Consider which side the windows face
If beige is chosen as the main color, then walls are most often decorated with it.
- When choosing wallpaper or wall paint shade , be guided by which side of the world the kitchen windows face. For "southern", kitchens well lit by natural light, cold gray-beige tones are more suitable, for "northern" and dark ones - light and warm sand, cream, straw, olive-beige shades.
- If you already have a beige kitchen interior, you can update it with cold or warm accents. nine0009
2. Create optical illusions by playing with shades
If medium and small kitchens need a visual increase in space, then large ones need to create intimacy and a feeling of comfort. Simple color rules help a lot in this:
- Warm colors tend to visually slightly bring closer and lighten, and cold colors (even in dark color) slightly move away and make objects and objects heavier.
- In addition, do not forget about the well-known principle: light colors increase the space and make it lighter, and dark colors reduce and absorb light.
It is clear that according to these points, for small kitchens, light colors and light "companions" or a combination of dark and light tones are more profitable, but you can go even further and create winning optical illusions.
Suppose you want to decorate a small kitchen in a classic style in beige and brown, then you can do the following: paint the walls (or wallpaper) with light beige paint, choose a white set and dilute this white and beige idyll with an apron, countertop and a brown floor with a cool undertone. In such a combination, dark brown, which is difficult to do without in a traditional interior, will not “eat up” the space, but rather expand it, creating an effect of depth. nine0006
Here's a great idea to beat the niche. The walls here are decorated in warm beige, the suite is in ecru, and the backsplash in the niche is in light gray-beige. Due to the play of cold and warm shades, an optical illusion of the distance of the wall was created.
In spacious kitchens, warm shades of beige will help to create a cozy atmosphere, which actively fill the space and create a sense of harmony. However, you should not overdo it with warmth in the atmosphere either, because a few cold shades will make it fresher and more interesting, as, for example, in the interior of this kitchen-dining room in the photo below, where beige curtains, furniture upholstery, wallpaper, a wooden set are “cooled” by white and gray-brown "companion flowers". nine0006
3. Use the color wheel and the principles of color combination
Whether you are planning a design for your future kitchen or want to slightly update the current situation, choose a harmonious combination of colors and shades that will simulate the atmosphere and style of your kitchen, the color wheel and tested schemes.
Space rules
The bright kitchen set is an indispensable part of the interior. The perfect choice of shades for her: pale gray, classic beige, sky blue, medium brown, light natural wood color, pale green. Such headsets made of natural wood and stylized antique look especially impressive. nine0006
It is important to remember that the walls of the kitchen should be about 1-2 shades lighter. A set of light colors also looks great in any ultra-modern interior, it can be made of synthetic materials, its forms should be simple and strict. The current glossy shine of the facades will complete the desired image.
Light tabletop - solid wood, MDF, chipboard, plastic can be used for its manufacture. But a countertop made of light stone (synthetic or natural) will look spectacular. nine0006
It goes particularly well with a dark backsplash and contrasting cabinet fronts. It is recommended to choose the most durable and wear-resistant material for a light countertop, as it will be subjected to regular stress.
Light apron - for its arrangement you can use mosaics, ceramic tiles, tempered glass. Such an element helps to visually expand the room. A light apron can be present in interiors decorated in a variety of styles. It goes well with both light and dark (contrasting) countertops. nine0006
Light curtains - strong synthetic materials that are most suitable for the kitchen are resistant to dirt, water and steam. Long light curtains can be used in a spacious room with large panoramic windows - for example, in the kitchen-living room. If the kitchen is small and cramped, it is better to replace the curtains with short light curtains. Lightweight blinds can also be used instead.
Light table and chairs - this option can be used, regardless of the style of the interior. However, it is most harmonious when it comes to Provence and shebe-chic style. It is important that this furniture is made of solid solid wood. Legs can be bent or straight. In a spacious room, you can safely put a round or oval table; folding rectangular structures are more suitable for a small kitchen.
Light walls is a win-win option for arranging any kitchen, regardless of the style of the interior. Against the backdrop of light walls, both modern and classic furniture look great. In addition, light colors visually expand the room and fill it with light. So that the walls in the kitchen do not get dirty and retain their original appearance for a long time, it is necessary to use washable wallpaper or a special resistant paint.
Light floor - can be used with laminate, wooden boards, tiles and porcelain stoneware. The color of the floor should not be exactly white, it is worth choosing more suitable shades, for example, light gray, light brown, beige. The light floor will be appropriate in any interior. nine0006
Choose the color of the set
Kitchen furniture facades can radically change or adjust the overall style. They are of great importance in the color filling of the room. If the kitchen is connected to the living room, when choosing facades, its color scheme must also be taken into account.
Usually pastel shades are used. Designers often resort to the effect of contrast - the headset and walls in this version radically differ in gamut and effectively contrast with each other. Do not forget that in this case, the rest of the kitchen space should be made in neutral colors, otherwise, instead of a bright style reception, you will get an incongruous, clumsy and noisy interior. nine0006
It is not uncommon for facades to combine two colors, such as beige and brown, black and white, purple and grey, yellow and blue.
White
White color is always relevant. Therefore, such a headset will always be modern, fashionable and stylish. In addition, it is extremely tolerant and goes well with any color. Moreover, the color scheme of the kitchen can be changed as many times as you like - white will fit into any, it will refresh the room and levels even the most ambiguous color schemes. nine0006
This kitchen will look neat and fresh. White will visually expand the space, so even a small kitchen will visually appear more spacious. However, do not forget about the soiling of the white surface. Any smudges, stains and other contaminants that even the most accurate housewife cannot avoid in the kitchen will be very noticeable on it.
Beige
Neutral and very noble color, ideal for kitchens of any size and style. It is very popular with housewives. Thanks to the warm shade, such facades create a calm atmosphere in the room. Best of all, beige is suitable for a classic-style kitchen. nine0006
In order not to make the interior look boring, designers often use spot accents. The most popular colors for revitalizing a beige headset are burgundy, chocolate and red. Beige facades are ideal for an interior that already has one or more bright colors. They will help bring color harmony into such a space.
Violet
An extravagant and interesting solution. However, bright and dark shades are suitable only for owners of spacious rooms. If the kitchen is small, and the desire to make a set in purple is great, you should take a closer look at light shades. Purple color always looks spectacular against a metallic background. This should be taken into account when choosing fittings and kitchen appliances. nine0006
Green headset
Quite a popular option. This is a natural color that has a large number of interesting shades. It has a positive effect on the nervous system and goes well with many colors.
Green tint will suit almost any style. But do not forget about the rules of compatibility and correctly select the color combination.
In addition, the green shades themselves must be used correctly. For example, light green tones are suitable for decorating facades, moreover, they will give the room freshness and increase it visually. nine0006
Dark ones do not look very impressive in the form of point accents, but they reveal themselves perfectly on wide surfaces. Bright ones, on the contrary, are designed to accentuate, but when decorating a whole facade, they will look tedious.
Brown
Noble and effective design option for the kitchen set. Unfortunately, the owners of small rooms cannot afford chic chocolate-colored facades - they will visually make the kitchen even smaller. This color is natural, it carries peace and tranquility, gives a sense of security and a feeling of comfort. nine0006
Brown shades are quite versatile. They are suitable for different styles and are able to solve many problems.
Floors
The floors in this kitchen can be either light or dark. Contrasting colors are often combined with each other - here a lot depends on the style in which the room itself is decorated.
The materials for the floor of a bright kitchen are varied and do not differ in anything, except for color, from coatings in kitchens of other shades. Ceramic and granite tiles, linoleum, laminate, parquet, vinyl tiles, self-leveling floors look different in different rooms. nine0006
For example, for a high-tech style, white ceramic tiles would be ideal. For a classic kitchen, the best way to design a floor is parquet, laminate or linoleum in the color of a tree.
Floors made of tiles in two colors look advantageous: for example, to form a “chess” of black and white (for modern kitchens) or beige and brown (for classic) tiles. Of course, with regard to classical cuisine, the rule again applies here: the more “natural” the floors are, the better it will look. nine0006
Basic colors suitable for flooring in bright kitchens:
- grey;
- white;
- beige;
- brown;
- dark and light wood;
- stone;
- black - exclusively for modern kitchens.
Tip: If you chose a very light or white floor color, then choose glossy materials without texture - it will be easier to keep the cleanliness of such a coating. nine0006
Costolics
Conshews for classical light cakes. Sometimes black or wenge work surfaces look very advantageous - this is especially true for completely beige or white kitchen sets. nine0006
The best option is to use natural shades and natural materials: light wood, stone.
, cream, red.
Color aprons should ideally be combined with the tabletop, as if complementing it. Although sometimes you can play in contrast: for example, a black countertop and a white or red apron. In a modern kitchen, this detail can be decorated with drawings, ornaments.
It is good if the backsplash contrasts or, conversely, matches the color of the floor in the room or has the same shade as the upper part of the set (in the case of using furniture with a dark bottom and a light top). nine0006
Sometimes an apron can become that bright accent that enlivens the room. This technique is used in modern style kitchens. In this case, the apron can be of any bright shade: green, black, red, orange, yellow, and so on.
Optimal color combinations for backsplash and worktop for bright kitchens:
- black and white;
- beige and wood;
- wood and white;
- black or white stone and white gloss; nine0009
- white and red.
Curtains
Curtains in bright kitchens often become the very "enlivening" accent that will give the room a cozy look. Typically, textiles in such rooms are used in a darker shade than furniture.
In classic kitchens, both colorful patterned curtains and plain ones look good. In addition to dark colors, in a light kitchen, you can pick up curtains and light shades, but with a bright and contrasting ornament.
If the furniture in the kitchen is glossy, then curtains made of textured fabric will add coziness and warmth to the room. nine0006
When choosing curtains for kitchen windows, be guided not only by their appearance, but also by practicality: they should not interfere with the cooking process and simply must be easy to wash, and the fabric should not absorb odors.
Variety of kitchen curtains:
- tulle curtains;
- Roman;
- roll;
- bamboo;
- Austrian;
- kisei;
- curtains.
Each of them has its pros and cons. For example, roller blinds and Roman blinds are simple in appearance, but very functional, as they can be raised and lowered to the desired height. nine0787 But the curtains look very elegant and rich. Light tulle curtains will make the room feel delicate, but they do not shade the kitchen if necessary.
Recently, filament muslin curtains have been gaining popularity, which can be left freely falling or tied with a beautiful bow. Compared to tulle curtains, they are convenient in that they make it easier to access the window.
Curtains with lambrequins, tulle curtains or Austrian curtains are best suited for classic cuisine. For a modern kitchen, choose roller blinds or Roman blinds. nine0006
Wallpaper
In a bright kitchen, there should be light wallpaper. The main rule when choosing them is that the shade of the wall covering should differ from the color of the headset.
Usually in bright kitchens the furniture is selected a few shades darker than the wallpaper itself. Although sometimes (most often in completely white kitchens) the suite and wall covering can be the same color. In this case, it is especially important to add bright accents to the interior.
Often the walls in bright kitchens are finished with decorative plaster, painted or pasted over with waterproof vinyl wallpaper. nine0006
Liquid, non-woven, acrylic or glass wall papers can also be used in the kitchen. The main criteria when choosing a wall covering for a kitchen should be its moisture resistance, low ability to absorb odors, and easy cleaning.
Depending on the chosen style, the wallpaper can be either smooth or textured, with embossing. In some cases, different types of wall covering can be combined with each other.
The color palette is wide: wallpaper in a bright kitchen can be soft pink, light olive, blue, beige, milky and other colors. nine0006
A light-colored kitchen is a win-win option for both spacious rooms and modest-sized "cells".
And if you keep it spotlessly clean, it always looks great - sometimes maintaining perfect order in a bright kitchen is much more difficult than designing it yourself.

Lighting is also an important element for bright kitchens. There must be a lot of it. In addition to the main lighting, they use additional, for example, floor lamps, sconces, lighting for the kitchen set.
