Cabinet Color Trends

Refined Neutrals and Earth Tones

As more homeowners decide to stay in one place longer, many of them are choosing neutral cabinet colors that work well with a variety of design elements. These new earthy, neutral color palettes provide visual warmth while seamlessly blending with the rest of the house. Mineral tones evoking ore, graphite and slate bring a deep-in-the-earth sense of stability to a space.

Cues from Mother Nature

She never makes mistakes with color, and today's cabinet colors trends reflect her enduring sense of style. Kitchen and bath color palettes are reflecting Mother Nature's best, from the colors of golden wheat fields to variations of fresh foliage green. Atmospheric cabinet colors and finishes evoking clouds, fog or mist also bring a natural calmness to interiors.

Color Blocking

Graphic color blocks in combinations of luxurious classic colors will add a vision of luxury to our lives. Lustrous black and icy white; creamy camel and stand-out red; timeless navy and deep chesterfield green. Color blocking through the use of contrasting cabinetry colors is one way to achieve this look.

Depth of Color

Color goes to magical new depths, laying a firm foundation for a wide range of palettes for kitchens and baths. Classic grays get more intense. Blues get deeper with inky-black and indigo influences. Browns get bolder with rich chestnut undertones. Dark monochrome designs emerge in baths with shiny black surfaces and kitchen cabinets with deep, dark finishes.

Simply Gorgeous Grays

The trend for gray cabinets has risen dramatically, bringing a chic sophistication to kitchens and baths. Gray is a versatile neutral that highlights the trend for sleek and simple cabinet door styles without stealing too much attention from the rest of the room. Deep, mineral-tone gray cabinets used alongside lighter gray cabinets add cool contrast.

Whites and Off-Whites

White cabinets show the desire for simplicity in the home environment while creating design flexibility that will endure over time. Homeowners are using off-white or white cabinets to provide an optimistic contrast to the deeper neutrals used in today's homes.

Cool, Comfortable Blues

Blues are an especially soothing option for today's bathrooms, and they work well with the neutral palette. Pale, spa blues and muted colors of the sky and water provide a beautiful complement to cabinets that have a raw wood finish, creating a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.

Berry Delicious

Pink bursts into bloom with deeper versions of edible berry colors from nature’s garden. Delicious plum and beet colors invite us to sink ourselves into a refined palette of purples. These tones add appeal when used to accent the neutral colors used in many kitchens and baths.

Growth of Green

Lime overtakes yellow as the bright newcomer. Other vibrant greens come in a wide range of shades to suit a variety of tastes. Baths take on the look of a tropical oasis with verdant colors that evoke lush green landscapes. Cabinetry with dramatic wood swirls or frosted glass inserts adds to this refreshing look.
