The Best Kitchen Paint Colors for 2024, According to Experts
Give your cabinets a facelift for the new year.
Housing everything from dinner parties and midnight snacks to homework hours and game nights, kitchens do it all, and their design is beginning to reflect it. Rather than being strictly utilitarian, kitchen design has blended style and substance over the past few years, especially when it comes to color. From the mahogany brown of the early aughts to the sage green craze of 2020, kitchen paint colors have defined design eras as much as furniture forms or lighting styles.
Sure, white, black, and even navy—the neutrals of kitchen walls and cabinet fronts—are always at the forefront, but they’re considered evergreen rather than trendy. The trending kitchen paint colors for 2024 veer off this comfortable road. Think warm reds and hunter greens. The kitchen has become a space to showcase personality, sometimes even more so than a living room or punchy powder room. To walk us through the top trending paint colors for kitchens in 2024, we’ve tapped expert designers and paint specialists who know their way around these versatile spaces.
Whether you prefer farmhouse to industrial or Art Deco to midcentury modern, there’s a trending paint color for every interior design style. So grab your brushes and swath your walls, cabinets, and islands with the best kitchen paint colors that are trending for 2024.
