Cabinet Color Trends of 2017

  • White and Grey - These win just about every popularity contest. Not only do they help a kitchen space feel bright, clean, and fresh, but they also pair well with almost any other color or texture you’d like to introduce. Their power is in their neutrality.
  • Include a Natural Touch - While this isn’t technically a cabinet color, it is a popular item to pair with painted cabinets. Natural wood in the form of open shelving, an island countertop (butcher block), or even wood stools/seating all pair beautifully with white and grey cabinets.
  • Different Upper and Lower Cabinet Colors - Typically reserving the lower cabinets for a darker color and upper cabinets for a lighter option, this is a stylish way to mix up your colors a bit.
  • Island Accent - If you like the idea of lighter/neutral cabinets but still are craving some color, why not turn your island into an accent? A brighter, bolder paint can look beautiful in this more localized form.
