This is a look at the 5 top kitchen colors of 2022 –

Green is Definitely IN!

Color of the season, no matter who you talk to, different shades of green are absolutely welcome in the kitchen this year. Unlike blue and yellow, green has not always been a popular color in the kitchen. It is often relegated to more traditional styles and yet, this year is going to see the brilliant use of green even in modern and contemporary spaces. Green kitchens feel elegant and dashing with lighter tones and shades that have white, cream or gray mixed into them being the most popular. From October mist to Evergreen Fog, the choices are both trendy and endless…

Away from White and Embracing Black

Even if you are not an avid design aficionado, you would have noticed the huge popularity of white and wood in the kitchen. In fact, white and wood color scheme has taken over living rooms and bedrooms as well in homes across the globe. But 2022 is bound to see a shift away from all the overload of white and in the kitchen, it will be black backdrops and black appliances that would be the most popular. If you love black, then now is the time to try it out in the kitchen!

Eye-Catching Rich Blues

Yes, you are right to believe that there is nothing dramatically new about blue being a trendy color in the kitchen. But that does not mean it needs to be bumped off of the trends chart and deep, rich blues are set to make a big impact in kitchens this year as well. Instead of lighter and more muted shades of blue, try jewel-toned hues, deep blue, peacock blue, cobalt and lighter hues of velvet in the kitchen this time around. Even if you have a kitchen draped in neutral hues, a kitchen island in deep blue is bound to create plenty of visual impact while leaving rets of the space undisturbed.

Trendy Two-Tone kitchens

This might not be a particular color, but two-tone kitchens are a good idea to embrace as you move away from your old kitchen and think about trying something new. And you need not religiously stick to just two-tones in the kitchen alone and adding a third color is always welcome in here. Two-tone cabinets are also popular and adding them to the modern kitchen easily alters its ambiance.

Beautiful Yellow Kitchens

Finally, there is yellow – a color that is not always hugely popular and yet makes a big difference to any kitchen that it adorns. Even a hint of yellow in the modern neutral kitchen enlivens the spaces almost instantly and the color also works well with styles like Mediterranean, traditional or even farmhouse. Give yellow a shot in the kitchen if you are bored with the usual array of blues and greens.
