During a kitchen renovation or new build, homeowners tend to invest a lot of time in deciding the cabinet finishing. While white, greys and browns are among the more popular options, graceful pastels, gorgeous reds and deep blues are being adopted more and more these days. Although colourful kitchen cabinetry has been around a long time, the vast choice of colours available now is like nothing before. If you are seeking some trending cabinetry colour inspiration, these 18 kitchens will surely give you the right push.

Colour blocking allows the deep blue to pop on the cabinets here. This space rightly shows how effective colour can be in lifting an otherwise neutral space.

This contemporary kitchen goes all-in with pastel blue. The accompaniment of plain white and cement grey adds to the calm and crisp vibe.

   I love the introduction of bold red island cabinets amidst gunmetal-grey and wooden finishes in this open kitchen here. The red gives a sudden, bold thrust to the transitional design without overdoing it.

   Soft beige, which lines the bottom cabinets here, adds subtle warmth to this modular kitchen. The overhead cabinets are done in white to keep the visual weight light.

   Designer: Alex Fulton Design

I cannot stop admiring how the unexpected shades of orange, peach and pink come together in this eclectic kitchen here. It is not easy on the eye, yet makes it hard to look away.

   Here is another fine example of colour blocking done right. Deep blue on the Shaker-style cabinets adds style and substance to the contrasting all-white kitchen.

   This narrow contemporary kitchen sports a bright yellow on the cabinetry. The hue carries through delightfully to the patterned backsplash tiles to unify the whole design.

This is another kitchen that features pastel-blue cabinets and island counter, this time paired with similarly coloured bar stools and dusky pink walls.

Tones of the earth and nature – brown and dark green – sets a mature, grounded mood in this contemporary galley kitchen. The mix of matte and glossy textures draws the eye throughout the room.

   This Mediterranean space has an interesting blend of white and blue, and patterns and solids. The dark-teal cabinets offer a strong, timeless personality to this open kitchen, as well as supplement the other touches of blue across the home.

   Just the right amount of dark pine green on the cabinets and island shapes an elegant and cosy appeal in this Mediterranean kitchen here. The white on the walls and ceiling, and the brown of the wooden floor neutralise the palette and save the design from going dramatic.

This one is a beautiful single-colour, pared-back setup. A soothing olive green on the cabinets anchors the overall decor of this transitional kitchen.

In this contemporary kitchen, I like how blue is used in a modest, wholesome fashion on the cabinets.
