3 Popular Kitchen Cabinet Colors

Painted cabinets are a popular choice when it comes to kitchen cabinet colors. They provide multiple options to add a pop of color to the space, such as a kitchen island. It’s also a great way to break up the wood tones especially if the flooring is hardwood. With such a variety of colors, one might think there would be lots of pictures showcasing the different pallets chosen yet there are three colors that maintain the top spots. White, gray, and blue continue to be upfront on the selection chart. Let’s talk about them and what it is that makes them popular.

White Kitchen Cabinet Colors

This is a true minimalist color and one that will go with any color combination or highlight. It also adds extra light to a space especially when natural light is allowed inside. It can also make the space feel larger as well. White can immediately brighten up a space and is a great choice when you have an area that has few windows. It is also a color that goes with any style whether it is farmhouse or contemporary since it is timeless and elegant. It is a versatile color that can easily be decorated with simplicity or ornately depending on the owner’s tastes. It is also the perfect color to create a beautiful contrast with, such as dark countertops or backsplash. There are a couple of cons when it comes to having all white cabinets with the first being a little harder to keep clean and left without a few accents it can look too crisp and cold. When done right, white is a great color of choice and will be sure to last. Look at this project that paired white cabinets with reclaimed heartwood pine.

Gray Kitchen Cabinet Colors

Named among the most popular paint colors in 2020 by Sherwin Williams, there are many shades of gray that range from a cool palette to a warm one. Described as the perfect neutral, it is often a go to choice for designers and homeowners alike. It remains a popular color due to the elegance and relaxing atmosphere it provides. Since it is calmer than the white but still brighter than some wood tones it is a happy medium. This color also works well with certain combinations such as wood and white making it a great choice for two-toned kitchens. This is a color that perfectly integrates with numerous elements in the home including tile, countertops, lighting, and accent pieces.
