11 Ways to Add Color to Your Kitchen

Colorful Cabinets

Give a kitchen appeal with a signature color. This bright and cheery California bungalow is awash in Sherwin-Williams's Convivial Yellow. Glass cabinet fronts and white Viking appliances lighten up the space.

Cozy and Cheerful

A mix of old and new warms this Sag Harbor cottage's country kitchen, with mahogany countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and the dusty blue cabinets. Creamy beadboard walls and open shelves keep the room light.

Earth Tones

Most folks opt for white in the kitchen, but this Montana farmhouse's kitchen is bathed in moodier hues. The custom cabinets are painted in Benjamin Moore's Mohegan Sage while the fir beadboard is a golden brown—giving the 75-square-foot spot a jewel box feel. An ivory apron-front sink by Shaws offers a burst of brightness.

Beachy Brights

Faux-bois tiles from 14Ora Italiana create a functional focal point in the kitchen of this seaside New York bungalow, while a cheery red mixer, mugs, and vintage stools pop against the ocean-inspired backdrop. The kitchen cabinets are painted Oasis Blue by Benjamin Moore, and the walls are coated in Benjamin Moore's Spring Mint.

Go Dark

Don't play it safe—Ikea's white farmhouse sink pops against the high-gloss peacock blue paint (Varsity Blues by Benjamin Moore) that covers the walls, cabinets, and trim in this upstate New York home's kitchen.

Go Green

In this Massachusetts beach house kitchen, Wood-Mode cabinetry is painted a color similar to Green Crystal from Olympic. Cape Cod artist Tim Dibble custom-carved the kitchen's slate apron-front sink to incorporate local icons: a windmill, whale, lighthouse, and the word riptide.

Two-Tone Style

The kitchen gets its warmth from cherry counters, an antique island, and light and bright hues of yellow and sage green paint. Free up cabinet space, and create a clever spot for collectibles, with above-window shelving.

A Colorful Mix

A retro table and chairs set the mood and tone for this funky kitchen housed inside a Minnesota Victorian. Lots of white cabinetry unifies the areas of intense palette—green on the walls, the red enamel stove, turquoise canisters and other collectibles, and cafe curtains and a braided rug that combine all these colors.

Unique Paint Colors

For a sense of fun and whimsy, consider unique colors for walls, cabinets, and window trim. In this New Hampshire farmhouse, the owner used nine brilliant shades of paint. In the kitchen, the walls are painted Golden Straw and the cabinets are painted Sherwood Green, both by Benjamin Moore. The window frames are painted Tangelo by Benjamin Moore.

Bright Accents

Add color and texture to a kitchen by choosing interesting accents. Orange mohair revives a vintage maple stool in the kitchen of this California cottage, where Carrara marble upgrades Ikea cabinets. The homeowner framed a 1960s supermarket ad as a cheeky homage to Andy Warhol's soup can. The walls are painted Coventry Gray by Benjamin Moore.

Antique Shop Finds

This kitchen showcases the owner's collections of antiques-shop finds and makes liberal use of her favorite color, green. The result: a bright, relaxed, vintage-style kitchen that's a joy to spend time in.
