The question for many homeowners is what colors they should be using to paint or stain their kitchens in 2022. With so many choices out there, it can be difficult to decide which one to pick!

Choosing Kitchen Cabinet Colors

Contents

When you are choosing kitchen cabinet colors you want to consider the style of your home and the other colors in your kitchen. Is your home traditional? You may want to go with a darker stain or a creamy white. If your home is more modern you may want a pop of color.

Think about the color of your walls and trim and whether you want to pick a color that will stand out or blend in. You also need to take into consideration that darker cabinets can make a small space feel smaller, while lighter ones will make it feel bigger.

One of the easiest ways to decide when choosing kitchen cabinet colors is by looking in magazines or online for inspiration. Head to your local Barnes and Noble and grab a stack of home design magazines and a coffee and start browsing.

Or hop on Pinterest and search for kitchen cabinet colors according to the style of your home. Create a board to save your favorites to refer back to later. You should start to see a pattern for what you’re drawn to when it comes to colors or stains.

Timeless Kitchen Cabinet Colors

Now that we’ve covered the latest trends in kitchen cabinet colors and stains let’s talk colors that stand the test of time.

While all of the colors I’ve mentioned are trendy this year, there are also some timeless kitchen cabinet colors that will never go out of style.

Classic White Kitchen Cabinets

Classic white cabinets are always a safe choice and will never go out of style regardless of what anyone says. They’re perfect for any kitchen and can be paired with almost any color scheme.

The downside of having white cabinets is that they can show dirt and stains. If you want white cabinets, you may want to choose white uppers and go with a darker color on the lowers, which we’ll talk more about later.

Timeless Black Kitchen Cabinets

Black cabinets, while currently trendy, are also another timeless classic that can give your kitchen an updated look. Whether your home is traditional, farmhouse or more modern, black cabinets can make a beautiful statement.

They can also be paired with a wide variety of wall colors making it a versatile color.

But you’ll want to take into consideration the size and lighting in your kitchen. If you have a smaller kitchen that doesn’t get a ton of natural light, black cabinets may make it feel small. Choose a light wall color like white to contrast the darker cabinets.

Versatile Gray Kitchen Cabinets

Gray is another color that will always be in style. Versatile and timeless, it can be used in any kitchen no matter the style. Try a color like Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter paired with creamy white walls for a classic look.

Mixing Kitchen Cabinet Colors

Mixing kitchen cabinet colors is still a popular trend in 2022. By using different colors and stains on your cabinets, you can add visual interest to your kitchen and make it stand out from the rest.

DANA GALLAGHER

While the all-white kitchen will probably never go out of style, there are lots of new design trends for 2022 that will make you equally happy. Think: natural elements with some pops of color as well as a visit to the dark side with colors you might never expect. We know, we know. You've already carefully chosen every appliance, picked out each piece of hardware, and planned your kitchen design to a T, but there are ways to dip your toes into the world of color without messing up your rustic farmhouse kitchen aesthetic.

If you've been wanting to layer in more natural elements, look for "sustainable" and "eco-friendly" items to fill the kitchen. Check out cabinets with the Environmental Stewardship Program seal from dealers like Lowes and Home Depot. You can also think about bringing in handmade tiles in materials like terra-cotta and cement—a great solution for adding a little more soul to your space, regardless of whether or not you opt to completely switch over to a farmhouse style vibe.

Don't overlook small changes with a big impact. Get outside of your comfort zone and embrace a fun ceiling color, like Haint Blue or use removable wallpaper on your white appliances. There are even new trends for accessorizing your countertops, like vintage plate racks made to display your grandmother’s china. We're claiming 2022 as the Year of the Kitchen, so roll up your sleeves and get ready to makeover a kitchen worthy of our best Country Living recipes!

fashion ideas and trends, 50 photos

Choosing a kitchen that matches the latest fashion trends is easy. In 2022, the trend is simplicity and practicality. Screaming colors and pretentiousness were replaced in designer tops by a strict style and muted shades of furniture. As decor, eco-friendly accents and geometric patterns have come into fashion. With a variety of trendy styles, colors and materials, you can choose from a wide range of stylish and trendy kitchens to match the latest trends.

Fashion styles

At the peak of trends in 2022, styles that combine external simplicity and ergonomics: practical modern, strict neoclassical, discreet Scandinavian. Graceful simplicity, straight lines and pastel colors are back in fashion. It is not difficult to choose a comfortable and stylish kitchen in such a variety at the same time.

Contemporary

Modern style kitchen - a combination of laconic design and practicality of use. In large areas, the addition of a bar counter or an island becomes a fashionable solution, which can become both a dining area and a work surface with additional storage space. A separate level of chic will be the transfer of a sink or hob to the island and the installation of a hinged hood above it. This decision makes this part of the kitchen the logical center of the room and is considered one of the trends of 2022, although it may not be implemented in every home.

The area of ​​​​the window sill in modern-style kitchens can be used both for placing accents and decor items, and for expanding the working area. The storage systems in these headsets are made as intuitive and modern as possible to access and use every centimeter of space.

Scandinavian

Scandinavian style is one of the trends of 2022. A light, unobtrusive color scheme with predominant white, complemented by wooden elements, and accents of dirty, muted tones. One of the features of the Scandinavian style is the seeming slight negligence, “imperfection”. In the interior of the kitchen, this is very practical, because even a small mess created during cooking does not stand out from the interior.

The geometric pattern that can be traced throughout the interior is also a feature of the Scandinavian style. A repeating element can move from a kitchen set to a table, chairs or other pieces of furniture, and can be played up in decor. The Scandinavian style is based on simplicity and does not involve expensive decorations, while remaining concise and elegant at the same time.

Minimalist

The severity of the lines in the absence of unnecessary details is also in fashion in 2022. The task of minimalism is to create comfort in use with a minimum of elements in the design. Straight facades without relief, often devoid of handles, and the maximum amount of free space by saving space on the decor.

One of the important features of the layout of a fashionable minimalist kitchen is the right lighting, which visually expands the space even more. The installation of separate lighting fixtures for different areas of the kitchen is welcome, making work easier. As accents in a minimalist design, you can use an apron or one of the walls painted in a color that differs from the general range. Often darker built-in furniture is used to create contrast.

Neoclassic

The combination of classic design with modern details and bright elements makes the kitchen look fresh and stylish. Supporting the 2022 fashion for practicality, neoclassical combines straight facades and characteristic relief of the classical style with modern and functional solutions: thoughtful storage systems, high-tech appliances.

Neoclassicism in 2022 is characterized by a single color scheme without bright knock-out details, materials that imitate natural, high-quality lighting that fills the space with a feeling of lightness and airiness. Accents of novelty in neoclassicism are usually functional: glass hobs, modern chrome faucets, appliances.

Trend colors

In 2022, muted colors have become the main trend in the design of the kitchen. Bright catchy shades went out of fashion, giving way to pastel colors in the interior. Designer trends are headed by gray, white, beige kitchens with light unobtrusive accents.

Gray

Shades of gray are one of the most popular options for stylish kitchen design in 2022. They go well with almost any of the trendy styles: restrained minimalism, strict neoclassicism, and functional modern style look noble in gray tones. A light gray kitchen feels comfortable to most people, regardless of taste, and the color itself pairs well with just about any trendy hue this year. Darker gray options give the kitchen an atmosphere of austerity and solidity, but are more suitable for spacious rooms.

Beige

One of the trendy kitchen colors in 2022 is neutral beige, fading into gray. It is easily combined with pastel shades of other colors, making the kitchen lighter and lighter. Since beige goes well with any style except hi-tech, its use will be justified in any trendy kitchen in 2022.

The advantage of a beige kitchen is the comfortable and cozy atmosphere created by this color. In combination with diffused light, such a room evokes a feeling of peace and is well suited not only for cooking, but also for pleasant family gatherings at dinner.

Woody

Another trend this year is woody colors and wood imitation in kitchen furniture. Such elements are especially relevant for Scandinavian-style kitchens, where they are considered a standard addition to the interior. No less stylish details of the wood-colored facade look in strict minimalism, including as dominant colors.

Wood and its imitation in the interior of the kitchen supports the long-standing trend for natural materials and motifs in the manufacture of furniture. Therefore, adding such a countertop or part of the facade will not be superfluous when designing a fashionable modern kitchen. Eco-friendly decor, such as live plants, will help to beat it even more.

White and black

Black and white facades are a timeless solution. Such furniture looks spectacular in any interior and in any style, from minimalism to modern. By changing the ratios of these two colors, you can get completely different cuisines. With an increase in the number of white elements, the room becomes more spacious and light, and with an increase in the dark part of the facade, it becomes more strict and solid. Even a combination of white and black in equal proportions allows you to develop an original kitchen, including creating the desired space zoning.

Pastels

The choice of kitchen colors in 2022 is not limited to gray and beige: fashionable furniture may well turn green, blue or pink. It is only important to choose muted pastel shades of these colors - they are at the peak of modern trends. Such furniture goes well with light walls, without overloading the space and visually leaving the kitchen spacious.

Headsets in pastel colors look good under both natural and artificial lighting. Well emphasizes their appearance diffused white light and additional LED lighting of individual areas.

Materials and textures

The choice of kitchen materials in 2022 is practically unlimited. Matte facade surfaces will look more preferable in a fashionable interior, so acrylic temporarily fades into the background. When choosing a material for a neoclassical kitchen, you will also have to abandon MDF, pasted over with plastic, in favor of other embossed ones characteristic of the neoclassical style. Among the trendy textures for facades in 2022, there are imitations of wood with straight fibers, both in natural colors and painted in non-standard shades.

When choosing a fashionable apron in 2022, you should pay attention to plain tiles without patterns. This kitchen detail can either emphasize the overall color scheme or become a bright contrasting accent that sets off the overall style. In addition, a stylish addition to countertops made of artificial and natural stone will be an apron made of the same material, which harmoniously complements the overall design and gives the kitchen an expensive, solid appearance. The uniformity of the backsplash and countertop is one of the trends that are gaining popularity in 2022.

Decor and details

As a decor, transparent glass inserts illuminated from the inside will be a stylish solution. Large stained-glass surfaces can become a bright accent. Also in the trends of 2022 are matte gold fittings, which can be replaced with standard chrome to give the kitchen a special style.

As additional accents, you can use live indoor plants that will look appropriate in both modern or Scandinavian, and neoclassical styles. Chlorophytum will look interesting in modern interiors. In addition to a stylish appearance that complements the interior, the plant is distinguished by its unpretentiousness and the ability to purify the air, which is useful in a room with a gas stove. A bright accent can be a decorative pepper, especially during the fruiting period, or sansevieria, which fit perfectly into the Scandinavian style.

When choosing a lighting option for the kitchen, it is worth considering that the trend in 2022 is its dispersal. The lonely central chandelier is a thing of the past, and additional spotlights, LED lighting for individual surfaces, decorative and functional lighting in storage areas have come into fashion. At the same time, it is very important that the central lighting is slightly diffused, but at the same time sufficient. Otherwise, in the evening, the kitchen will look dull and uncomfortable. The appearance of lighting fixtures is chosen depending on the overall style of the kitchen. Among the popular options are bar lamps and strict geometric shapes.

When choosing curtains, you should give preference to monochrome options that are close in color to the overall composition. For minimalistic designs, roll-on or roman pastel shades are suitable. It is better to refuse heavy dark canvases, with the exception of large rooms with bright artificial lighting.

In 2022, calm interiors with strict lines and low-key muted colors have gained popularity among designers. The trends include modern and Scandinavian styles, complemented by natural and artificial wood. It can be quite difficult to develop an actual design of kitchen furniture, taking into account the peculiarities of manufacturing, materials and fittings, so it is better to seek advice from professionals. Experts will help not only to choose fashionable solutions, but also help with their implementation in practice.
