20 Beautiful Paint Colors for Kitchen Cabinets {2021 Trends}

Don't be afraid of bringing color to your kitchen! Especially since it is the center of the home. Cabinets don't always have to be white or some other neutral color.

Painting your cabinets can truly make them stand out while adding a burst of energy to the space. I know it can be hard to imagine the finished product, so today I'm sharingpictures of painted kitchen cabinet ideasto help you visualize it!

Best Kitchen Cabinet Color Combinations

With all these color ideas for painting kitchen cabinets, I've included a full list for you with plenty of photos to show you what it will look like. Kitchen cabinet color trends have come a long way from being very monochromatic. People are embracing bolder colors that make a statement. So which color trend will you go with? Let's take a look at some of the front runners.

Sage green has been on the horizon for the last couple of years as a trending paint color. This is due to the popularity of the Boho design style and the mid-century modern look. Both have design elements pulled from nature and a more modern flare. It feels serene and still fresh and fun.

Sage Green and White

This kitchen used sage green as the main color cabinet and mixed in white cabinets for the island. The white quartz countertops and gold hardware give a little glam to this kitchen. The traditional rug has vibrant colors like blue to add some dimension.

This kitchen went through an amazing transformation, from country brown cabinets to bright yellow on the lower cabinets and open shelving on top!

9. Powder Blue

I have to admit this might just be my favorite one so far. Powder blue kitchen cabinets are designer choices these days for people who want a more designer look but are not bold enough to go with a darker shade. I love the chalkboard wall in this one for a farmhouse touch.

13. Purple

 The light purple color on the cabinets play along beautifully with the stained glass window over to the right. It is almost as if this color could be considered neutral.

A huge island in a bright and open kitchen can definitely be this shade of purple. The dining table has a dark purple base that plays with this perfectly.
