There's nothing like an all-white kitchen, but in 2020, interior designers are open to a range of other impactful hues, especially for cabinets. But finding the right hue for your kitchen cabinets can be a frustrating process. Everything from the style of your cabinets to the amount of natural light your kitchen receives are key factors to consider when choosing a color. Plus, there's an abundance of shades within the same color, making the decision process even more overwhelming.

If you're in need of some direction, we have you covered. We invited a selection of designers to share the top kitchen cabinet paint colors for 2020.

MIXED WOOD TONES

"A current trend we love is mixing natural wood and painted cabinets. It’s been popular in years past to paint lower and upper cabinet’s different shades, and we’re now doing something similar with lower wood cabinets and upper cabinets painted in a complementary color. Allowing the wood-grain to shine in some of the cabinets brings texture and depth to a space, while painted cabinets are an opportunity to introduce warmth and interest with the addition of color." — Andrea Goldman of Andrea Goldman Design

BLACK

"We’re going to see lots of black this year, especially in kitchens. Edgy but so classic, black cabinet’s pair perfectly with anything from warm wood shelves to crisp white backsplashes. I love pitch black, but if you want a toned-down version, try Off-Black by Farrow & Ball for some drama no matter your style of kitchen." — Briana Nix of Decorist

OLD WORLD-INSPIRED HUES

"We’re seeing a return to wood finishes as well as warm colors on kitchen cabinetry; colors with an old-world charm, but that are used in a contemporary way." — Young Huh of Young Huh Interior Design

SEA GREEN

"I am obsessed with this light sea green in my kitchen. It is so versatile and goes with everything—black, white, beige, and so many other colors. It is serene and creates a tranquil feeling." — Melanie Fowler of Clos-ette

WOOD FINISHES

"I'm really happy to see that wood cabinets are making a comeback and designers are exploring options beyond a painted finish. The choice of wood species and stain are still very important, as a honey-toned maple is drastically different in look and feel to a white oak cabinet. There's a movement toward returning to the extra texture that wood grain cabinets bring to what could be a sterile, cold space." — Liz Foster of Decorist

DARING HUES

"There will be a tendency to include intense color accents in 2020 kitchen designs. Rather than to choose just one color for the kitchen cabinets, the trend in 2020 is to choose one or several elements, like the kitchen island, kitchen wall cabinets, or base cabinets in daring colors, like dark red, bright yellow, green, or navy blue. In 2020, there is no limitation in terms of which color to choose for your kitchen, as long as it is being combined with classic kitchen cabinet finishes and materials, like oak wood, trendy black Fenix laminate, classic white glass, or a neutral glass cabinet finish. For this island, we used Benjamin Moore's Summer Nights 777." — Meghan DeMaria of Moss Design

MUTED SHADES

"We're finally moving beyond the all-white or light gray kitchen and more and more designers and homeowners are embracing kitchens in muted colors like navy, deep greens, warm ivories, and even charcoal. People are really gravitating toward the look and feel of English country kitchens and we're seeing it most obviously in these unique color choices." — Liz Foster of Decorist
