What Are the Best Colors for Kitchen Cabinets?

In the modern home, the kitchen takes center stage and has an outsized influence on interior design and décor. And, within your kitchen, nothing has a bigger impact on the design than the cabinetry. So, if you’re upgrading your cabinets, it’s important to carefully consider your color choices. What are the best colors for kitchen cabinets? There’s no right answer. And, with countless color combinations available, making a choice can feel overwhelming. To be confident about your color selection, you should think about:

The Style of Your Kitchen

Does your design style skew traditional or modern? Often, traditional kitchen designs look best with soft, classic colors, such as creams and warm wood tones, whereas bright, bold colors often find their place in modern kitchens. However, there is a wide spectrum of kitchen design options. For example, transitional styles that blend traditional and modern designs can allow much more room for you to be creative.

Your Color Scheme

The cabinetry draws the eyes more than any other design element in the kitchen, so ideally you’ll build your color scheme around the cabinets. However, this may not always be possible. If, for example, you’re planning to update your cabinetry but not your wall color or flooring, be sure to choose a complementary cabinet color. Also, consider the mood you’re trying to create. Do you want to be soothed by soft colors or warm tones? Excited by bright shades and lots of contrast?

Kitchen Design Trends

Trends come and go, so it’s important to build your kitchen around your unique preferences and not the latest style. However, certain trends have introduced design elements that have stood the test of time. For example, white and off-white cabinets are a great choice, as their simplicity allows for maximum design flexibility. Different tones of gray also offer flexibility and have become more popular among homeowners who want to create a chic look. Other popular options include cool, relaxing blue colors, natural tones, and dark colors to create depth. And, of course, natural wood cabinetry never goes out of style.

Reselling Your Home

If you’re planning to sell your home—even in the distant future—you should take this into account when updating your kitchen cabinets. Choosing a color that reflects your specific preferences and also has mass appeal may make it easier to sell your home when the time comes.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
