If you're thinking of renovating your kitchen soon, changing the color of the cabinets is probably the first improvement you've considered. Especially if your budget is limited, repainting the cabinet doors in your kitchen is the simplest, most economical, and impactful intervention you can make. While white was a timeless color for kitchens, in 2024, it will be replaced by softer and more welcoming hues.

What will be the trending colors for kitchen furnishings in 2024? Designers seem to have a clear ideas about this: what is certain is that colors will lean more towards more neutral and warmer, enveloping shades.

So, what will be the trendy colors for kitchens in 2024? Let's find out:

White may no longer be as popular, but if you want to maintain a neutral tone for your kitchen, consider using a subtle beige.

This choice aligns with Jenn Todryk (theramblingredhead on Instagram) on her HGTV program, No Demo Reno. Beige is a color that, like white, brings light to the environment, making it appear more spacious. However, it also has a warmer and more enveloping impact when compared to the colder sterility of white.

Beige is capable of adapting to any style of decor, from the most classic and rustic to the ultra-modern, seamlessly integrating with other color choices and with any materials you use for furniture and decorations.

A kitchen with natural wood in light shades will convey warmth and hospitality, resulting in a pleasant atmosphere that will feel like being in a natural environment.

Other soothing colors from nature will join beige to become the new "features" in our kitchens. Darker shades of green, for example, will have a relaxing effect, bringing the beauty of the forests into our kitchens. These colors will prompt our well-being and encourage us to follow a sustainable lifestyle.

Blue will also be one of the major trends in 2024, with its darker shades adding depth to the kitchen, inducing a pleasant feeling of relaxation. Choose contrasting colors such as white or metal for the fittings, shelves, and walls to finish this look perfectly.

And finally, if you're looking for a truly original, elegant color that suits any style and materials (but are tired of light colors), be bold with black!
