"People are starting to miss colors in their decor, swiftly departing from the neutral tones that make every single kitchen look the same. Even the so-called maximalism is making a return, with some viewing minimalist spaces as too sterile, preferring a home that shows clear signs of being lived in. If you can relate to this shift in collective preference for decor, you might have already started flirting with the idea of boldly colored kitchen cabinets."
"Before you settle on any particular shade, think about the general energy you're expecting from your kitchen space. If the goal is to create something vibrant and lively, pick daring hues like electric blue or cherry red. Another option is to fully color-drench your kitchen, matching the walls (and nearly everything else) to the cabinet colors. On the other hand, if you have a preference for a bit more toned-down energy, pastel tones like mint green or baby blue will be your perfect match."
Neutral gray kitchen cabinets have become overdone, prompting a return to colorful decor and a move away from uniform, minimalist kitchens. Homeowners prefer spaces that show signs of being lived in, and colorful cabinets can add clear character. Choose cabinet hues based on desired kitchen energy: daring shades like electric blue or cherry red for vibrancy, or pastels such as mint green or baby blue for toned-down warmth. Full color-drenching—matching walls and many surfaces to cabinet color—creates immersive impact. Turquoise green offers a glossy, aquatic statement that pairs well with metallic hardware and tiled backsplashes. Eggplant purple provides deeper, more dramatic cabinetry than softer lavenders.
