There may be tons of kitchen design trends to consider for 2022, but when it comes to choosing the right color palette for your cooking space, it’s best to go with what you love. Whether you’re all about no-fail neutral tones (of course, white cabinets are here to stay) or prefer to take a risk with arresting hues, there’s no shortage of stylish kitchen paint colors to try.
From gorgeous shades of green and blue to lasting combinations like black and white, it’s worth taking your time to pick the right color scheme to express your style and make your kitchen shine. Any paint color you pick should make your kitchen feel welcoming, whether you’re preparing meals with family or entertaining guests during the holidays. And if you live with kids, maybe there’s even room for a pop of color like sunny yellow. Think about how your wall and cabinet colors work with the rest of the space. They should complement everything from your island and flooring to your lighting and seating (if you happen to have an eat-in kitchen). The options are truly endless when it comes to kitchen paint colors, which means pacing yourself to find the perfect shade is key.
To give you some inspiration, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite kitchens featuring a slew of beautiful paint colors. You won’t be disappointed.
