The Best Kitchen Cabinet Colours

As the hub of your home, your kitchen is likely to be a place where you, your family, and your guests spend a lot of time. Therefore, finding a paint colour that you are going to love for a long period could feel like a rather daunting task.

Luckily, we have plenty of advice when it comes to choosing kitchen cabinet paint colours that are long-lasting and versatile. Depending on what interior style you are trying to create, as well as the size of the space, and amount of natural light you have available, it’s well worth considering the decorative power of each colour choice before you start your project.

Here we look at a range of kitchen cabinet colour choices, as well as ideas on how to style with other shades in order to achieve your perfect kitchen vibe.

Forest green kitchen cabinets

Dark green kitchen cabinets generally form part of a stylish traditional kitchen setting, especially when teamed with gold or brass fittings and accessories. Yet here, the dark green cabinets have been framed with Dim Love painted walls and ceilings to transform the kitchen into a playful and feminine space, giving the dark green cabinets and modern and quirky edge. The natural wood surfaces and shelving blend well with the green to further highlight the shades associations with nature, and the darker shade of pink used on the door and window frame adds the perfect finishing touch to this unique space.

Sage green kitchen cabinets

Sage green kitchen cabinets have become an increasingly popular choice for modern homes of late. They inherently give a fresh, natural ambiance to your kitchen space, and work particularly well when there is plenty of reflective natural light available. Here, the sage cabinets have been paired with walls partially tiled and partially painted in Sweet Genuis, giving a soft and friendly atmosphere, which you will always be happy to come home to.

Teal green kitchen cabinets

Connecting us to nature, teal green is a comforting shade for your kitchen cabinets, especially when teamed with natural wood flooring beneath. In this kitchen, a brightly coloured range cooker offers a stark contrast to the units, helping to break up the block colour units painted in Outdoor Escape, and also giving oodles of personality and character.

Royal blue kitchen cabinets

When we think of blue kitchens, deep navy blues usually come to mind first. However, there are so many more shades on the blue kitchen cabinet colour spectrum to explore. Royal blues and ocean blues, offer a clean and relaxing atmosphere to spend time in, without appearing overpowering or formal. You can see here that the blue Blue Moon Glow cabinets work particularly well with a white quartz worktop, and plenty of greenery and natural light to complete the zen ambiance.

Mint green kitchen cabinets

When you are considering green kitchen cabinet shades, it’s worth bearing in mind that a smaller kitchen can appear larger when you go for a lighter take on the shade - especially when paired with bright, white walls and plenty of natural light flooding in. Mint green is a calming and serene choice for a kitchen and here the cabinets are painted with Tip of the Iceberg which pairs brilliantly with monochrome and other pastel shades to create an comforting and reassuring space.

Powder blue kitchen cabinets

Trendy powder blue is a fashion-forward choice for contemporary households. Not only is it relaxing to live with, but it can also be paired with a range of other shades to create unique and distinctive styles. Here, the use of chrome and black metalware in the cooking area gives a loft-style industrial feel, while the neon orange cupboard handles add a pop of vibrant colour and playfulness to the main food-prep area.

White kitchen cabinets

White painted kitchen cabinets are probably the most versatile of all colour choices because they offer so many versatile styling options for all types of kitchen. Fresh, white kitchen units can brighten up any space – regardless of whether it is super modern or classic and traditional. Long gone is the notion that a white kitchen is cold and soulless - simply add a soothing pastel wall colour, for example Roman Serenade and some cosy soft furnishings and lighting to create a romantic, cottage-inspired hub.
