Cabinets are essential in the kitchen. They ensure you have plenty of room to store food, dinnerware, and cooking utensils, and they serve as a primary focal point of the room. If you're planning a kitchen remodeling project, choosing the right colors for the cabinets will enhance the look and feel of the entire space. Below, discover three popular cabinet color trends.

A Guide to Trending Cabinet Colors

1. Creamy Off-Whites

Off-whites are timeless in beauty and appeal. They work well in any design scheme and on any style of cabinetry, adding a clean, streamlined look. They are especially well suited to smaller kitchen spaces because they give a sense of expansion and openness, making the whole room feel larger and airier.

They also pair well with virtually every other color, so if you're going to paint walls or accents in another shade as part of your kitchen remodeling, off-white cabinets will be a perfect complement.

2. Two-Tone Colors

Two-tone cabinets have grown in popularity in recent years and are ideal for homeowners who want some pops of color in their kitchens. Upper cabinets are painted one color and lower cabinets another.

Be sure to select two colors that go well together and don't clash. Put the darker shade on the bottom, as this will anchor the room and provide a solid sense of balance and flow.

3. Colors of Nature

There's no rule that says a kitchen must be painted in staid or neutral colors, so don't be afraid to choose vibrant shades. And look no further than Mother Nature for inspiration. As you prepare for your kitchen remodeling, consider bringing indoors the colors of the outside.

Consider choosing blues that evoke the calming energy of the sea, greens that suggest leaves and grasses, or yellows that blaze like the sun. If you have a lot of windows in the kitchen, get a few different paint swatches and place them in the windows to see how the colors change throughout the course of the day; this will help you find the perfect shade.
