Last year we predicted the design revamp of the color green in this post, New Colors of 2017: Green in the Kitchen. Once considered formal and dated, we hoped we see more of it used as a modern, sophisticated edge in homes. This year, we’ve seen beautiful new kitchens that embrace the trend! From deep forest green to pretty blue-green, the rich paint color works as a bold accent in a fresh white space. If you are wanting a new vibe for your kitchen, green is a look to love.
I love white kitchens, but lately I’ve been designing and drawing inspiration from spaces with beautiful colored cabinetry. For example, a couple weeks ago I showed progress photos of a home I’m working on with black cabinetry. I’ve also highlighted several non-white kitchens and laundry rooms with gorgeous colorful cabinetry in previous posts. One of the hardest parts of designing spaces with color is choosing the perfect paint. Since, I’ve been working with several colors lately, I thought it would be fun to put together a resource for you to use as you are choosing paint for your projects. You can see my cabinetry paint guide below, but first let’s take a look back at some beautiful examples…
The blue cabinetry in this kitchen is stunning. It creates warmth and richness at the same time. Such a beautiful combination of rustic and modern elements. See more details and the before and after pictures of this kitchen here.
Remember this black, white and warm kitchen. I love the amazing mix of colors and textures in this space. You can read more about this kitchen here.
This picture is from my affordable white kitchen remodel post. It’s an example of using a white paint with no pigment to achieve a fresh, crisp, updated look.
I love the mint color in this laundry room. It’s unique and creates a lot of personality in a small space. See more about this laundry room here and here.
Choosing paint can be a big undertaking, but my cabinetry paint guide will make the process a lot easier. I’ve picked several options in blues, grays, greens, whites and blacks for you to pick from. This should simplify the task and hopefully the decision process will be fun. To see more of my designs and favorite inspirations for colored cabinetry you can visit here. I hope you have a great Monday!

You may remember my post from June about Non-White Kitchens. In it you can find specific paint colors for black, blue and gray kitchens. As a follow up, today, I’m sharing some of my favorite cabinet hardware selections for kitchens and bathrooms categorized by paint color. Hardware is an important element that polishes off these spaces. It’s the opportunity to make the cabinetry pop and tie in other metal accents, completing the overall design. Below are some inspiring examples of kitchens and bathrooms that are perfect parings of painted cabinetry and beautiful hardware. Have fun browsing. Happy Monday!
