As 2020 approaches, take stock of your kitchen design. Are there a few places you want to change the color scheme? The new year is an ideal time to upgrade your kitchen’s look as new color trends debut that could transform the space. Here are a few painting ideas to keep in mind.

Paint Trends to Bring Your Kitchen Into 2020

1. Classic Blue

The Pantone® Color of the Year for 2020 is Classic Blue. It’s a rich, mysterious shade that evokes the depth of a dusky sky. It’s vivid and dramatic—a color that channels the unknown, yet feels calm and inviting. You can work this into your kitchen scheme in several ways. In smaller spaces, use it as an accent so as not to overwhelm the room. Try painting a single wall, for example. In a larger kitchen with a light scheme, detailing the cabinet accents with this shade can change the tone of the entire room.

2. Grayish Purple

Think of grayish purple as an offbeat approach to pastel hues. It’s not quite as light and frothy, yet it offers many of the same benefits as those types of colors. There are different variations of this color—you’ll find it with hints of lilac, blush, and charcoal, all of which can change its intensity. A lighter version is a great option for your walls, as it will add a splash of color without stealing too much attention away from the cabinets and appliances. In a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, painting the backsplash grayish purple provides the right level of eye-catching contrast. Best of all, it fits nicely into both traditional and contemporary settings.

3. Earth Tones

Never underestimate the power of natural hues. The earth tones are emblematic of warm woods, deep sunsets, and crisp foliage. These shades exude a certain autumnal quality, yet are neutral enough to work well at any time of the year. Again, take the size of your kitchen into consideration when selecting a color. A dark paint, like red pepper or rust, will bring the eye immediately to a focal point. You could use it to paint the cabinets on your island if it would be too overwhelming throughout the entire space, or paint the backsplash instead. In a classic kitchen, mustard tones look lovely with mocha or taupe on the walls.
