Top 5 Kitchen Cabinet Colors For A Beautiful, Modern Kitchen

It’s often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and I couldn’t agree more. That’s why it’s important to create a kitchen you love, but also one that reflects your personal style. In this post, I’ll share the top 5 kitchen cabinet colors for 2024 and what styles you can pair the colors with.

By changing the color of your kitchen cabinets, you can easily give your kitchen a completely new look without the need for a full renovation. The best part is that it’s also affordable. If you do it yourself—which I’m sure you can—the only cost is the paint and brushes.

Navy Blue

A navy blue kitchen will give your kitchen beautiful, expensive, and sophisticated look. I love this deep, rich color since it’s perfect for creating a bold statement while still keeping your kitchen classic and inviting.

What do you think about this color? If you love the mid century modern look, I would say this color is the perfect choice. But you can also create a very beautiful contemporary or coastal style with navy blue by pairing it with the right accents and textures. So, it’s a bold color but also a versatile color that allows for many different looks and styles. Let me know your thoughts and best styling tips of a navy blue!

Sage Green

Lately I’ve been absolutely obsessed with sage green and I think it’s because it gives your home a touch of color but in a very calm and muted way. It also brings a sense of nature indoors and why not bring this beautiful, natural and calm color into your kitchen – the heart of your home?

This color goes with almost every style, depending on how you style it. For instance, you can create a beautiful wabi-sabi home by adding touches of wood and rustic accessories. You can also achieve a sleek modern look by incorporating metallic accents and minimalist decor.

Matte Black

Make your kitchen a bold statement with a matte black color. This color is both modern and luxurious, creating a striking contrast with lighter elements and adding depth to your space.

Despite being such a bold color, it can pair beautifully with a variety of styles. For instance, you can combine matte black with warm woods for a cozy, rustic feel, or pair it with sleek white and metallic accents for a contemporary, high-end look.

As you’ve now understood, a bold black kitchen comes with a variety of choices. I am curious on how you would style a black kitchen. Would you pair it with wood or with white accents? Let me know in the comments!

Wooden Cabinets

Another favorite of mine is wooden cabinets. I have fallen in love with a mix of Japandi and wabi-sabi decor. By adding wooden kitchen cabinets, you have the perfect base for both of these beautiful styles. The earthy and warm tones of the wood create a sense of comfort and tranquility, enhancing the natural beauty of your space.

The best part is that you don’t need to make your whole kitchen in wood in order to achieve this look. You can only change the cabinets and then paint the rest of the kitchen in another color that matches your style, for instance white.

Wooden cabinets pair not only with the wabi-sabi and Japandi styles but also with mid-century style, as their clean lines and natural textures complement the retro aesthetics while adding warmth and character to the space. The options are endless!

Soft Grey

As you all may know, a neutral look has been trending lately—even in the kitchen. Therefore, the soft grey is no surprise, as it provides a calming backdrop that allows for versatility in decor and pairs beautifully with both bold and subtle accents.

A soft grey color will make your kitchen calm and inviting, creating a serene atmosphere that encourages relaxation and enjoyment while cooking or entertaining. This – for me – is a very important factor into choosing the kitchen color.

Since it is a neutral color it pairs well with almost every style. You can create a beautiful contemporary look but also a calm wabi sabi look. It all depends on how you choose to style it.

And of course, I want to know your best tips in styling a soft grey kitchen. What’s your secrets?

Conclusion

In summary, transforming your kitchen into a space you love is both achievable and affordable with the right color choices.

As you explore these beautiful trends, remember that the kitchen is not just a place for cooking—it’s the heart of your home. By selecting colors that resonate with you, you can create an inviting atmosphere that enhances your daily life.
