Kitchen Trends: Hottest Color Combos

Gray and Brown

While brown has been the favorite go-to shade during the past few years, its fellow neutral gray is starting to take center stage. Designer Lori Dennis combines both shades in this modern kitchen for a stunning yet subtle look.

Green and Silver

Green may have taken over the nation in its eco-friendly form, but the color green is still going strong. For this kitchen, designer Beth Haley pairs a green glass tile backsplash and cabinetry with stainless-steel appliances and hardware.

Red and White

Know as the color to stimulate appetite, red remains one of the top shades for the kitchen. Designer Andreas Charalambous uses a bold red wall color to contrast with the stark white cabinets in this Asian kitchen design.

Blue and Black

Blue is one of the most soothing shades, so if you tend to get stressed in the kitchen, blue might be the perfect choice for your kitchen. For this country kitchen, designer Candice Olson pairs slate-blue cabinetry with black countertops.

Jewel Tones

Jewel tones, like the ones in designer Ammie Kim's backsplash, really pop when paired with dark cabinetry. She also uses straight lines in her cabinets and furniture to futher enhance the colors and give this kitchen a clean atmosphere.

Black and White

Black and white will always remain a favorite pairing. For this kitchen, designer Marie Flanigan highlights cabinets that were a mix of wood and back painted glass. Black granite was added to the countertops, backsplash and range hood. This creates a sleek, streamlined design for the heart of this sophisticated home.
