The all-white or mostly white kitchen has been the star of the interior design show for nearly the last decade. Trends come and go, but while white is nice many designers agree that 2023 is bringing all the color. "It may not be the popular opinion but I think all-white kitchens will be phasing out more and more," says Lindye Galloway, founder and chief creative officer at Lindye Galloway Design Studio + Shopin Orange County, CA.
She's not alone. According to a recent report by Houzz, a renewed interest in bright and bold color is one of the most-reported trends from design and remodeling professionals. The shift is attributed to the gloomy years of the pandemic. "These days, homeowners seem more adventurous and willing to take a chance on creating brighter, more vibrant spaces," the report says.
Regardless of trend, when designing your home, you want to show your true colors. That is, it should make you feel at home and happy. Whether that's bringing in layers of warm and soft tones or going all out with rich hues or super brights, your design should capture your aesthetic and personality. Here, we rounded up all the ways you can incorporate color into your kitchen. From cabinets to appliances to tile and wallpaper, there are so many ways to dream up your dream kitchen. Now let's get cooking.
PMQ for Two remodeled her kitchen and we are drooling all over it. The perfect mix of color, pattern, and comfort makes this kitchen so fun and inviting.

Natan Bueno | Arquiteto on Instagram: ""Cozinha é lugar de alegria!! tem que ter vida".. essas foram as palavras do cliente! 👨🏻🍳🔥 Nessa proposta eu pude quebrar todos os meus conceitos de combinação de cor e elevá-los a um outro patamar... tem verde, azul, amarelo, laranja, rosa, branco e todas as possibilidades de cor que um espaço pra receber a família e os amigos merece!! A premissa para esse projeto é de que ele partisse da farm sink ali atrás do balcão. Partindo disso e da ciência de que os metais seriam cobres, optei por esse tom alaranjado no armário e por esse padrão da linha charm da florense que dá toda uma bossa a cozinha, deixando ela com esse estilo que eu amo. a partir disso, eu precisava de um pano de fundo, a opção foi o tijolo cimentício rosa da colormix na vertical, parando na altura da esquadria. Como o pé direito (altura do teto) é muito alto, optei por fazer esse rodateto em tinta da mesma cor do forro, em amarelo, para dar um efeito de rebaixo.. e pra amarrar tudo isso joguei verde e azul no piso mandacaru da decortiles e nas prateleiras. O destaque fica para as banquetas assinadas pelo gustavo bittencourt e pelos pendentes do jader almeida, Quem quer ser masterchef aqui? 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️ Projeto em parceria com o @emiliocaliman e render do @_gusrodrigues #cozinha #colorfulkitchen #projetocolorido #projetodecasa #cozinhagrande #cozinhacomilha #ilha #cozinhadecorada #cozinhacolorida #projetodecozinha #kitcheninterior #cozinhacomcor #masterchefbrasio #cozinharosa #cozinhaamarela #farmsink""I like a neutral, calm, and textural room," says Gideon Mendelson, founder and creative director of Mendelson Group. "However, when an entire home is designed that way, it feels a little soul-less and boring to me. I want to see designers adding more color and pattern to these sculptural spaces to make them feel more personal, and interesting and provoke more thought."
Agreed! Creating a palette of colors that complement each other in tone feels fresh and modern.

Brownstone Boys on Instagram: "The perfect shade of green for kitchen cabinets! 💚💚 Why not go bold in a kitchen cabinet color!? This carefully selected green paint for the DIY @semihandmade fronts is the star of the show. 😍 Hidden Storage was key at #thegateshouse since the homeowners have two newborn lil twins. 👩👩👦👦There’s lots of it if you look closely, like an extra row of cabinets tucked in behind the island. The reeded glass front top row brings in some character and breaks up the green but still obscures the storage. The girls fell in love with the stunning Walker Zanger marble slab that was the perfect stone to balance the green cabinetry, magnolia color @fireclaytile backsplash, the creamy white colored walls, and white oak hardwood floors. We had to remove a wall to open up the small galley kitchen that was there to the rest of the parlor floor. This allows all the natural light to flow from the huge back windows and provides for easy access to the new deck. We can’t get enough of it! Let us know if you would go this bold with a cabinet color?! #brownstoneboys Cabinets: @semihandmade Appliances: @fisherpaykel @ajmadison Stone: Walker Zanger Island Pendant: @globallighting Cabinet Paint: Calke Green @farrowandball Backsplash: Magnolia @fireclaytile Cabinet Painter: @houndstoothpainting 📸: @nickglimenakis | Style Ass’t: @killerem #kitchendesign #greencabinets #brownstone #brownstonekitchen #kitchenremodel #mydomaine #howwedwell #storageideas #lonnyliving #colorfulhome #green #cabinetmaking"Photography by Jared Kuzia
