Kitchen Paint Trends for 2024: Earthy greens bring calm indoors, sea blues make a bold statement, "hot chocolate" browns evoke cozy vibes.

In general, warm neutrals, lighter woods, and earth tones are growing in popularity, while stark white kitchens, gray cabinets, over-the-range microwaves, and trash compactors are on their way out.

“Natural, warmer colors are making a major play in 2024. For accents or even entire kitchens, earthy colors like natural wood tones, greige, and greens are calming and welcoming,” says Killion.

“A variety of terracotta tones and soft sage greens seem to be the preferred color choice,” says Bustamante, noting, for example, that cabinetry manufacturer Nobilia has these hues in their offering for 2024.

Expect to see vintage-inspired hues, deep reds, dark greens, and two-toned cabinets this year.
