1. FOREST GREEN IS OUT - SAGE IS (ALWAYS) IN
For a long time, the go-to shade for a green kitchen was forest green. For the last five years we have seen countless deep green dramatic kitchens, and while they are very tempting when paired with a marble countertop and gold hardware, the look is just a bit...done.
2. BROWN IS OUT - CRISP WHITE IS IN
Wood is a color, right? We certainly think so and wooden kitchens are quickly overtaking painted cabinets in the world of kitchen trends. Kitchen colors come and go, but natural textures and colors will forever be on trend.
3. GREY IS OUT - GREIGE IS IN
Grey kitchens have reigned supreme for long enough, and although we never like to totally shun a color, we are happy to see the back of the drab, neither here nor there, mid-grey that was the go-to kitchen color for what felt like decades.
4. COOL WHITE IS OUT - WARM WHITE IS IN
Are you surprised white kitchens are on the out? White is totally classic, but what seems to be the color no designer recommends is pure white. Despite being such a popular shade, pure brilliant white very rarely works in any space, unless you get a ton of natural light and don't mind the slightly stark look. Much like grey, white will always be around and in style in some form or another, and right now that's warmer whites – far more inviting and liveable and a kitchen color that's always going to be chic.
5. NAVY BLUE IS OUT - LIGHT BLUE IS IN
The love for navy blue kitchens seemed like it was never going to end, but with a shift towards designing kitchens that feel more like living rooms – softer, gentler, more livable – these deep bold colors are quickly going out of style. And we find that they can be quite difficult spaces to style since navy blue is always going to really dominate a room, and it doesn't really lend itself to being paired with any other color.
