Kitchen Cabinet Color Trends for 2021

The end of a historical, stress-inducing 2020 year is finally coming to a close. If thoughts of the new year have spurred your kitchen remodeling hopes and dreams, you’ve come to the right place. While design trends are quick to come and go, there are a few timeless elements that can help you keep up with the ever-changing kitchen trends without skipping a beat. In this article, we’re highlighting one of those enduring kitchen remodels: the cabinets!

Kitchen cabinets are by far the most prominent feature of the room, taking up a majority of the wall space. That said, a great way to keep your kitchen “on-trend” is to focus all remodeling strategies on these elements. And one of the best ways to do that is by following color trends.

Here are our trend forecasts for kitchen cabinet colors in 2021:

Sage Green

Earthy tones are timeless paint colors. However, green is often a hue that homeowners shy away from in the kitchen—but not anymore! Sage and muted mint green kitchen cabinets are predicted to trend this new year. Stick to lighter green with a gray undertone and sliver hardware or dark forest green with gold cabinet hardware.

Greige

Yep, you read that right! Gray + Beige = greige. This blend is trending so quickly that it has a new name. Instead of traditional gray kitchen cabinets with bluish undertones, greige warms up the cabinetry with a yellow or warmer beige undertone.

Muted Blue With Gray Undertones

Navy blue was a popular kitchen cabinet trend in 2020. This year, the color is cooling down. Muted, light blue cabinets with gray undertones are a neutral staple that still offers a unique pop of color in the kitchen. If you’re unsure of the blue hue, stick to a cool gray!

Natural Wood

Reclaimed wood is quickly becoming a popular option for contemporary kitchen designs. It adds a rustic touch to the modern space without taking away from the streamlined design. Warm woods are also making a comeback in the kitchen! These palettes embrace a cottage-like feel in the kitchen, creating a cozy space that screams, “it’s time to bake!”

White & Black Are Here to Stay

Some color trends will never fade, including white and black. To 2021-ify it, we suggest sticking to one tone or the other. The solid color choice creates something close to magic in a kitchen; it’s elegant, timeless, and contemporary all at once. For example, paint all cabinets and lighting black, but keep the back wall white and accessories white.
