But with so many options, it can be tricky to pick the right hue that will have a long-lasting impact on your kitchen’s beauty and style. To help guide you, Cabinets City compiled the 9 most popular cabinet colors for 2024 to inspire your upcoming kitchen remodel.
1. Blissful Blue
Blue cabinetry brings a calming yet vibrant ambiance to kitchens. From airy sky blue to bolder navy, blue offers both lightness and depth. Cool blue is transcending from tranquil bedrooms into lively cooking spaces in 2024.
Soft green-blue cabinet colors feel almost minty. The pale teal hue pairs beautifully with breezy white counters and cheerful yellow accents. Moroccan fish scale tile in metallic blues and greens makes a dynamic backsplash.
Deeper ocean blues bring a cozy, enveloping feel to kitchens. Dark blue cabinetry blends beautifully with warm wood counters and shelving for contrast. Add a backsplash in breezy blue and white ceramic tile and brass hardware for a nautical New England vibe. Blue is the hue of serenity – ideal for busy kitchens.
2. Classic White
Crisp clean white cabinetry immediately brightens up any kitchen with its airy elegance. White kitchen cabinets give off a light, spacious impression and create a blank canvas to layer on pops of color. Durable white cabinets also suit any style profile from modern to farmhouse.
For a true bright white, try J&K Cabinetry’s White Shaker line of cabinets for a smart, minimalist look. Pair with marble counters and a simple white subway tile backsplash to let the cabinets shine. Choose sleek modern hardware like matte black knobs and pulls for subtle contrast.
Antiqued white cabinet finishes provide a warmer alternative. The subtly weathered white finish and visible wood grain add organic depth. Pair antique white cabinets with butcher block counters and nickel hardware for a farmhouse cottage vibe.
3. Neutral Two-Tone
Two-tone kitchen cabinets continue gaining popularity for their ability to add stylish contrast while maintaining a calming neutral palette. Typically two-tone cabinets pair soft white, gray, cream, or tan on upper cabinets with deeper navy, charcoal, cocoa, or black bases.
Mantra Cabinet’s brown lower cabinets coupled with Oak Gray uppers invitingly blend neutral wood tones. Add marble herringbone backsplash and chrome hardware for contemporary flair. Or try Fabuwood’s Galaxy Dove painted tops with their rich Espresso stained bases for an organic pairing.
Mixing real wood uppers with painted lowers works wonderfully as well. Walnut uppers above painted lowers meld natural and manmade textures. Two-tone cabinetry creates depth and interest while still keeping kitchens feeling light and spacious.
4. Earthy Vibe
Natural wood cabinetry adds beautiful organic texture and warmth to kitchen spaces. The natural grain variations, knots, and swirling patterns feel distinctly unique. Oak, walnut, cherry, and maple finishes allow the wood’s natural beauty to shine.
Deep espresso stains, like Fabuwood’s offering, saturate maple cabinets for dramatic contrast. The nearly black finish highlights maple’s natural blondeness in an eye-catching way. Pair espresso cabinets with gray-washed wood floors, black granite counters, and chrome hardware for an ultra-modern yet organic look.
Lighter natural maple cabinets work equally beautifully for a farmhouse kitchen aesthetic. Run grooved maple cabinets from ceiling to floor for rustic allure. Use white marble counters to accentuate the wood grain. Add an apron front sink, antique brass hardware, and a subway tile backsplash to complete the vintage home style.
5. Soothing Green
Vibrant green cabinetry brings a taste of the outdoors inside to kitchen spaces. Nature-inspired green adds a grounding, refreshing vibe perfect for busy cooking environments. Both light sage greens and deeper hunter greens feel current and inviting.
Unique green wood stains evoke windswept prairies with organic striations in soft celery tones. Combining green cabinets with butcher block counters and a brick backsplash creates a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow. Aged brass hardware suits the earthy green beautifully.
On the darker end, Forest green paint envelops maple cabinets in rich conifer green. Pair with marble counters for an elegant contrast. Use brass pendants above the kitchen island to illuminate and complement the fearless green cabinets. White subway backsplash prevents darker green cabinets from feeling too heavy.
6. Ivory Cream
Warm ivory cream cabinetry brings quintessential cottage charm to kitchens. Off-white cream evokes freshly churned butter and artisanal craftsmanship. The welcoming creamy shade effortlessly spans traditional to modern sensibilities.
J&K Cabinetry’s Creme Glazed painted cabinets look as if brushstroked by hand in fluid ivory tones. The soft hue pairs beautifully with butcher block countertops in a herringbone pattern. Add an apron front sink and antique brass hardware for time-honored farmhouse allure.
For a more contemporary cottage look, install cream cabinets in a clean-lined shaker style. White quartz waterfall counters offset the subtle beige warmth. Add a stone tile backsplash and black metal pendants for contrasting textures. Creamy cabinets charm across all kitchen aesthetics.
7. Elegant Gray
Gray kitchen cabinets strike the perfect balance between trendy and timeless. Gray evokes weathered stone and driftwood, feeling elemental yet elegantly refined. Cool pale grays to warmer timber ash gray tones suit transitional kitchen designs beautifully.
J&K Cabinetry’s shaker-style cabinets in soft warm gray foster a relaxed yet put-together look. Pair with crisp white quartz counters and a mirrored subway tile backsplash to illuminate and enhance the sophisticated gray hue.
Charcoal gray starts approaching nearly black for a bold modern statement. Forevermark’s Midtown gray cabinets saturated in rich mineral tones make a daring style choice. Marrying charcoal gray with bright white counters and stainless appliances creates a striking, upscale contrast. Avoid going too heavy-handed with dark grays.
8. Statement Black
Inky black cabinets make a bold, sophisticated style statement. Coal-dark black feels crisp, contemporary, and luxuriously dramatic. Keeping walls, counters, and backsplashes bright prevents black cabinets from feeling too somber.
Fabuwood’s Pitch black-painted cabinets saturate maple in gorgeously uniform dark tones. Pair midnight black with snow-white marble counters and a glass & chrome backsplash for light-infusing contrast. The unlikely pairing feels unexpectedly harmonious.
Soften overly harsh black cabinets by adding glass fronts and lighting. Smooth black glass-front uppers filled with ambient lighting above their matte black lower cabinets add alluring dimension. Backpainted glass backsplash in dazzling metallic silver and gold reflects and amplifies surrounding light beautifully.
9. Vivid Navy Blue
Deep navy blue kitchen cabinets make an undeniably bold style statement yet still feel refined and inviting. Navy evokes the majestic sea at midnight, feeling sophisticated and special. Crisp white counters balance the dramatic blue beautifully.
Smooth Navy cabinets in high-gloss lacquer feel sumptuous in their saturated midnight blue tones. Soft powder blue glass cabinet fronts above add a calming contrast. Pair with a marble herringbone backsplash and vintage brass hardware for a decidedly upscale look.
For a more beachy navy kitchen, try Fabuwood’s indigo paint over light oak. The dynamic blue finish over natural wood grain pairs wonderfully with sea glass tile and antique nickel hardware. Open whitewashed wood shelves showcase nautical accents for a casual coastal aesthetic.
