1. GO FOR SUBTLE PINK INSTEAD OF HARSH RED
Red is a strong and bold color for the kitchen – the workhorse of the home – but lately we've been witnessing a color shift to a softer, subtle hue – enter pink.
2. REPLACE GRAY WITH BEIGE AND TAUPE
Once a tried-and-trusted neutral, gray has since fallen out of favor when it comes to kitchen cabinet colors. Instead, more designers and decorators are reaching for beige – the new neutral in interior design.
3. SWITCH OUT WHITE FOR A MOOD-BOOSTING YELLOW
Another former favorite, white kitchens are no longer the desirable kitchen trend they once were. These days, designers and clients are reaching for mood-boosting hues to add a touch of joie de vivre to their kitchens. Unsurprisingly, yellow is shining a spotlight on our kitchen color schemes for 2024. As one of the most uplifting colors, it is not surprising that it is having a renaissance.
4. SWAP A DATED NAVY BLUE FOR COBALT, LAPIS AND CERULEAN
Navy blue will always be popular, but lately, designers have been considering softer, subtler, serene variations in the modern kitchen. A shade that's always been popular in the world of interiors, ocean blue is set to be 2024's kitchen paint color du jour.
5. CHOOSE PASTELS IN FAVOR OF DARK, UNFORGIVING COLORS
Dark kitchen cabinet colors were once considered the best paint palettes for kitchens. They were bold, strong and hid a multitude of decorating sins. However, we've gone full circle, like most trends, and are now welcoming back the pastel hues that previously graced 1950s kitchens up and down the country.
