The kitchen is a central space in the home, where everyone gathers for everything from dinner parties and game nights to homework hours and midnight snacks. Kitchens do it all, and people are spending more time in the room, transforming it into something beyond just an area for cooking.

Over the past few years, kitchen designs have begun to reflect their new level of importance in our daily lives. There is an increased desire to redecorate kitchens in a way that showcases personality while retaining functionality. The easiest way to add more style and substance is through a fresh coat of paint.

This year, bold hues are dictating the color trend for 2024. While we have certainly not seen the last of the all-white kitchen—neutrals will always remain a design staple—darker shades are rising to the forefront and becoming more popular than ever. Here are the top five kitchen paint colors for 2024.

Earthy Green

The green color family continues to be a favorite among homeowners. People are gravitating toward it for its fresh and rejuvenating essence. Depending on the desired look of the room, there are a variety of beautiful shades to choose from, ranging from soft, muted hues to deep, saturated tones.

Either way, an earthy green helps create a sense of calm and harmony, which can help with staying grounded. It also has the ability to connect you with nature. The calming shade looks smart with white marble counters or wood ones.

Deep Blue

If you’re not one to play it safe, swath your walls or cabinets in this deep, dark shade. For those seeking more adventure in their kitchens, deep blue will allow color to blossom where there was once a blank white slate.

A blue kitchen inspired by the sea gives your space a coastal vibe. It’s a go-to choice for a look that feels classic but is still current. Pairing gold against deep blue can help highlight accessories and fixtures throughout your kitchen.

Warm Sand

In 2024, natural clay tones are making a major play. Warm sand is more neutral than the other colors on this list, and it’s perfect for those who are iffy about moving away from white.

Like white, it’s a timeless style that has longevity, but it also contains a certain warmth and brightness that white fails to bring. It’s also easy to personalize with pops of color as trends come and go. If you want to make your kitchen feel larger and more spacious, warm sand will do the trick.

Muddy Brown

This year’s kitchen color trends are all about transitioning from cold and sterile to warm and welcoming. So, get on board with muddy chocolate browns! They look almost black but offer a much cozier feel.

Dark brown is a great way to make a statement and add a sense of depth. It goes well with splashes of green, which helps to keep things not too moody. Exposed beams, tile backsplashes, and light oak cabinetry have their place when it comes to the darker end of the color spectrum.

Stone Gray

Cool gray may be getting kicked to the curb, but warm stone gray that’s rich in green and brown undertones is here to stay. The hue is versatile and will provide a clean look in the kitchen.

Stone gray is a wonderful choice for those who want to incorporate color and depth instead of leaving their kitchen completely neutral. It has the potential to work as a lovely accent since it pairs delightfully with warm whites.
