White and Gray in the Kitchen

We promised you kitchen color schemes that are easy to try out and trendy as well and we start with a perpetual winner that just does not seem to go away. Gray is the hottest neutral right now and that has been the case for several years now. Yes, its power seems to be waning just a bit. But it still beats every other neutral hue by a mile and combining darker shades of gray with white is the best color scheme in the modern, contemporary kitchen at the moment. Try out bluish-gray for the kitchen cabinets or use the color to create a cool accent wall or backsplash.

Neutral Backdrop with a Hint of Color

If you have a neutral backdrop in the kitchen, then an easy way to bring freshness to that space is by adding accent colors that are seasonal. This can come in the form of fresh flowers on the kitchen counter, kitchenware or even the backsplash, if you are in the mood for a bolder and more extensive makeover. Painting the kitchen cabinets allows you to give a bit more color to the kitchen while appliances in matching hues can also bring a dash of color to a kitchen that is otherwise monochromatic.

The wood and white kitchen is undoubtedly the most popular in 2019 in terms of color schemes and embracing it is all too easy. If you have an overload of white in the kitchen, balance it by adding a bit more wood using the cabinets or a backsplash. Everything from window frames to ceiling beams in wood can be a part of the overall narrative in here. Serene, adaptive and welcoming, this is a color scheme that you will absolutely love!
