For years, we’ve seen white kitchens rule the design world. White kitchens are crisp, clean and timeless. But just like fashion evolves, so do our homes. Today’s kitchen color trends are bold, soulful, and utterly personal. Interior designers and homeowners are saying the same thing: there’s a vibrant world beyond white.
If you’re considering a kitchen renovation, now is the moment to explore color with confidence. Here are four of the current color trends:
Greens
Green is trending right now, and not just mint or sage. We’re seeing deep forest, olive, and moss, too. These colors echo nature and bring calm energy indoors, they set the mood. Green walls or cabinets pair beautifully with natural stone and wood. It is especially striking when contrasted with a lighter-toned countertop such as Taj Mahal Quartzite, to balance the richness of the green with the brighter tone of the stone. Or, go for a stunning green granite or quartzite countertop as the centerpiece of your kitchen and pair it with natural wood or creamy neutrals.
Warm Neutrals
Neutral doesn’t mean boring. Today’s neutrals have warmth and depth. Shades like taupe, greige (a tone that combines grey and beige), clay and warm latte are nice alternatives if you like the clean, classic elegance of white. Monte Bianco marble or Silver Cloud granite are just two of the many options for kitchen countertops to define your kitchen. These warm neutrals feel cozy and modern, anchoring your kitchen without dominating it.
Blues
Dark blues and moody, inky shades are making waves. A sophisticated look has blues on lower cabinets or island units contrasted with wood for the upper cabinets and a white marble or light-veined soapstone. Or reverse the look and choose a blue stone such as Jeriba Blue quartzite for your countertop, making the blue pop against a more neutral background. Blues add refinement and drama without feeling heavy.
Black
Black kitchens are no longer niche. Sleek, matte black cabinetry paired with striking countertops brings an ultra-modern aesthetic. Paired with a creamy marble or soapstone or a light-colored quartzite with rich veining, the stone countertops will pop against the black backdrop. It’s a chic, modern look that’s here to stay.
