Popular Color Trends for Kitchens

According to HGTV.com, there are some current color trends that interior designers have been using in kitchens. For example, consider these hot color combos for remodeling a kitchen:

Gray and Brown

Brown has always been a popular neutral shade used in kitchens as the central theme – Especially in kitchen cabinetry. However, gray is becoming the new “it” shade for kitchens. Consider pairing the two-gray tile backsplash with brown cabinetry. It makes the kitchen look more modern by giving it a modern twist.

 

Green and Silver

Because of the move towards eco-friendly design, green has become very popular, even for kitchens. Consider pairing soft green cabinetry or a green tile backsplash with silver, stainless steel appliances. Silver cabinet hardware adds a contemporary touch. The green and silver combination creates an overall modern look, country chic.

Red and White

A crimson kitchen is an option for the more daring. You can make your kitchen look classy and elegant by having red walls or a red backsplash. Instead, choose red cabinetry and dark gray walls with stainless steel accents to add a little sparkle to the room for a more bold look.

Blue and Black

Blue has always been a soothing, relaxing shade, so it has traditionally been used in bedrooms. But now, designers are bringing blues out into the kitchen as well. Try pairing painted blue cabinets with jet-black countertops. Add silver accents by updating the hardware to stainless steel. The result will be truly spectacular.

Jewel Tones

Jewel tones, emerald green, and ruby red will pop in a kitchen when paired with dark cabinetry. Combine a jewel-toned glass backsplash with dark gray cabinets for a modern and sophisticated kitchen design. A clean, stylish appearance with silver cabinet hardware and stainless steel appliances finish the look off with a very simple and subtle countertop in a neutral white or white sparkle.

Black and White

Black and white always has and always will be a popular and sophisticated color palette for any room. It won’t look boring if done right—pair black cabinetry with a crisp, clean white countertop. Highlight the dark cabinetry with silver hardware for a sleek look. Keep the kitchen walls white to keep them light and airy. The color scheme can also work in reverse, with white cabinetry and black countertops. Just keep the silver accents.

With these hot new color trends, you’ll be able to turn any dull kitchen into a fantastic cooking paradise. With the variety of color choices, it’s easy to use one of these color combinations in any home. So here’s to a fabulous new kitchen!
