What Kitchen Cabinet Colors Are Timeless?

Timeless Cabinet Colors That Will Never Go Out of Style

Our team has worked on a variety of kitchen remodeling projects. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about kitchen cabinet color trends, it’s this: 

If you’re worried about choosing a trending cabinet color that will fade in popularity, go with a neutral color (white, gray, beige, etc.).

We’ll look at neutrals that can act as a blank canvas, giving you the space to make a few simple changes over time that don’t require costly updates. Neutral colors are often found on lists of popular kitchen cabinet colors thanks to their versatility. 

We’ll also look at blue — a classic kitchen cabinet color because of the feeling of peace and calm it evokes.

1.) White or Off-White

Whether you want to create a charming contemporary kitchen or a modern one, white and off-white are more than just safe choices. White and off-white kitchen cabinets offer you limitless possibilities to show off your unique aesthetic when choosing hardware and plumbing fixture finishes.

It’s particularly easy to change out hardware, so you can alter the style of your kitchen every year if you’d like. 

If you go with an off-white, you can choose a shade like cream that has undertones matching the rest of your home.

2.) Gray

Gray is a timeless kitchen cabinet color because it comes in many shades. Choosing an almost-black gray will make your kitchen look modern and sleek, especially when it’s paired with stainless steel finishes. 

If you choose a gray with bluish undertones, it will blend beautifully with any décor that has cool undertones (like purple and blue), so these colors are perfect if you’re designing a coastal kitchen.

3.) Natural Wood

You can create a rustic, traditional kitchen with natural wood cabinets. Natural wood cabinets make a kitchen feel more authentic, regardless of the stain you pick.

You can then choose a countertop, backsplash, and hardware that further shapes the look and feel of the space with complementary stains and finishes.

4.) Beige (or Greige)

Beige or greige cabinets incorporate earthy tones in your kitchen in ways that gray and natural wood can’t always achieve.

Many homeowners who are interested in gray or natural wood kitchen cabinets for their versatility go with beige instead so they can get a natural look without wood stains.

5.) Blue

Blue is among the most popular and timeless kitchen colors because of its calming effects.

Deeper shades of blue like navy or cobalt draw focus to your cabinets, while fun shades like powder blue are more likely to survive trend changes because you can always find décor to complement them.
