Colorful influences in kitchen and bath design

Whether you're upgrading a current home or renovating a newly purchased one to fit your long-term needs, we've assembled some current cabinet color trends for inspiration.

Tempting Yellows

Like a good, slow cup of coffee, softer tones of yellow calm you down while lifting your energy. Sunny yellows brighten a gray day and any mood. And bold, saturated yellows all but seduce you into happiness. For creating warm, welcoming kitchens and baths, yellows cannot be overlooked.

Simply Gorgeous Grays

The desire for gray cabinets has risen exponentially, bringing a chic sophistication to kitchens and baths. A versatile neutral, gray highlights the trend for sleek and elegant cabinet door styles without stealing too much attention from the surroundings. Deep, mineral-tone gray cabinets paired with lighter gray cabinets add a cool contrast to your space.

Whites and Off-Whites

White cabinets fulfill the wish for simplicity in the home environment while simultaneously creating design flexibility to stand the test of time. Homeowners are providing an optimistic contrast to the deeper neutrals in today's homes with white or off-white cabinets.

Cues From Mother Nature

Mother's always right; never failing in her enduring sense of color or style. Kitchen and bath color palettes are exuding Mother Nature's best, from the hues of golden wheat fields to variations of fresh foliage green. Cabinet colors and finishes evoking clouds, fog or mist carry an atmospheric beauty while bringing a natural calmness to interiors.

Growth of Green

Lime surpasses yellow as the bright new cabinet color trend. Other vivacious greens come in a vast range of shades to meet a variety of tastes. Baths begin to feel like a tropical oasis with vibrant colors that evoke lush green landscapes. Cabinetry with frosted glass inserts or dramatic wood swirls enhance this refreshing look.

Cool, Comfortable Blues

Working well with the neutral palette, blues are an especially soothing option for today's baths and kitchens. Pale, spa blues and muted colors of the sky and sea provide a classic complement to cabinets with a raw wood finish, creating a space fit for comfort and relaxing.

Refined Neutrals and Earth Tones

Neutral cabinet colors that offer unique designability are a popular choice as more homeowners decide to stay in one home longer. Providing visual warmth, these new earthy, neutral color palettes seamlessly blend with the rest of the home. Mineral tones highlighting ore, graphite and slate transfer a deep-in-the-earth sense of stability to a space.

Depth of Color

Color isn't limited to the surface. New trends show color going to magical new depths, laying a stable foundation for a vast range of palettes for kitchens and baths. Classic grays increase intensity. Blues reflect the deep sea with inky-black and indigo influences. Browns get bolder with heavy chestnut undertones. Dark monochrome designs unfold in kitchens with deep, dark finishes and baths with shiny black surfaces.

Color Blocking

Graphic color blocks in combinations of lavish classic colors will create a vision of luxury in our lives. Timeless navy and deep chesterfield green; creamy camel and stand-out red; lustrous black and icy white. Achieve this stunning look through the use of color blocking with contrasting cabinetry colors.

Berry Delicious

With deeper versions of edible berry colors from nature's garden, pink is bursting into bloom. Enticing plum and beet colors encourage us to sink ourselves into a refined palette of purples. When used to accent the neutral colors used in many kitchens and baths, these tones add a creative appeal to the space.
