The Best Kitchen Wall Colors for Your Next Renovation

Kitchen wall colors ebb and flow in popularity, just like many other aspects of interior design. Even for homeowners not following style trends, a change of paint color can be refreshing and inspiring. But where to begin?

If you’re stuck trying to pick a wall paint color, the latest and greatest in interior design trends can help. Here are some of the big trends in kitchen wall colors to consider for your next renovation:

Blue

Blue is known to be a calming hue, and that can make it an excellent choice for the busiest room in your home. With a simple countertop and backsplash, you can add vibrant, deep ocean blue to your walls or kitchen cabinets. To enhance the blue hue, try pairing with brass hardware and natural wood.

Peach

Peach is both a soft and exciting color, bringing summer breezes and abundance to the imagination. Try incorporating a soft peach tone into your kitchen and enjoy the instant brightness and whimsy it brings to the space.

Pastel pink

“Millennial pink” is still a trendy hue, but a much lighter pastel shade can make a splendid addition to your kitchen design. Worried about your kitchen appearing like a pastry shop? Keep the pale pink grounded with dark wood tones and black accents to create a hip yet clean aesthetic.

Neutral cream

Neutrals have always been the go-to for kitchens, and for good reason. Neutrals are easy to combine with other decorative elements and textures, and tend to please a wide variety of tastes. If you’re ready to try a new neutral in your kitchen, consider a warm cream tone.

Green-gray

On the cooler end of the neutral color spectrum, an icy green-gray is trending in a big way. The green aspect is subtle enough to please homeowners who love true neutrals, but adds a rich depth to keep the gray from feeling dreary. Accent with bright stainless-steel accents to enhance the gray undertones of this green paint.

 

While it’s hard to go wrong with white walls and white cabinets in your kitchen, adding the right color can transform the entire space. Whether you want a soothing quality, a modern twist or to enhance natural light with just a touch of something new, these paint trends are the best place to begin.

Good morning Barbara. Whole we have stuck mainly to neutral colors and wall paper, we lived in an apartment in the sky with many floor to ceiling windows and used grey on some walls as an accent to enhance some art pieces. Enjoy your day.

Hi Wayne, I have used a warm grey throughout for my listings for years. SW Windfresh White. It goes with both warm and cool colors and appeals to most everyone.

Good morning, Barbara... since I have an open floor plan, the colors in my kitchen match the breakfast area and great room. As for peach... feels like the 70's are calling! :)

Hi Nina, I agree that peach seems retro. Many homeowners choose an accent wall for added color when they have an open floor plan.

Good morning Barbara,

There are many colors to choose from and the nice thing is you have choices! I like to keep things light, airy with lots of natural sunlight. I have to agree with Nina Hollander, Broker peach... feels like the 70's are calling! :)

Hi Dorie, I would assume that peach would appeal to only a very few. As I mentioned in Nina's comment, placing a color on an accent wall works well when you have an open floor plan.

Hello Barbara - preference for color is so personal.  And depending on situation and circumstances, can often vary.  Room by room plus individual by individual.  And as soon as a painting job is finished, a mind can "see" the possibilities of yet another change.

Hi Michael, I agree that choice of color can be very personal. I tend to prefer neutrals or cool colors. Blue is my favorite.

I feel I could go for the green gray, not sure about any of the others though.

Hi Nick, The green grey on a wall would be a good choice and still somewhat neutral.

Those are interesting for sure, but I don't think I would ever choose to have pink walls in my home, haha.

Hi Brian, I am very happy to hear you would never have pink walls!! 😀 How about peach? 😜

I am not a fan of pink in the kitchen even though as you point out it is very popular right now.  I saw a picture of a pink kitchen and I wondered how long the "real owners" would last with that if anyone actually painted their kitchen pink.  Having said all that  it is fun to imagine a redo.

Lisa, There are some people who really love the color pink. I suspect for the rest of us that we may get tired of it after awhile.

When we purchased our home, the kitchen was painted red. That is something we immediately changed.

Hi Roy, I understand why you would want to change the kitchen color from red. It's not one of my favorite colors either.
