Tangerine Surprise
Designed by Bridgett Mazer, this contemporary kitchen's color palette was inspired by the array of colors you would see in the water and the sky, such as cobalt blue and tangerine.
A Splash of Color
Strong accents give definition to this open-concept dining area, kitchen and living room, like the black strips of the barstools' frames and the kelly green dining chairs.
Rich Eggplant
The fun, young family who live in this home wanted an open kitchen with a lot of light and space where they could gather together and entertain. For a colorful surprise, the designers created an island with a rich eggplant finish accented with brass details.
Just the Right Amount of Color
Striking blue-gray cabinetry steals the show in this transitional space. The calming-yet-bold blue pairs seamlessly with the clean white walls and trendy marble countertops.
Lovely Lilac
Chic lilac cabinets, reclaimed wood shelving, brass finishes and postmodern pops make this space completely unique. It's a fun space that's meant to be fresh, inviting and playful without sacrificing any amenity.
Shades of Green
Green is aplenty in this white country kitchen that features white Shaker-style cabinets, shiplap walls and a bold kelly green eat-in island surrounded by comfy, patterned chairs.
Pretty in Pink
Punk rock princesses will feel totally at home in this edgy black-and-pink kitchen. With its black countertops, gold hardware and midcentury light fixture, the space is the perfect mix of bold and glamorous.
Neutral Yet Bold
Opposites attract in this gourmet kitchen that features perimeter cabinets in white with black countertops and a kitchen island with black cabinets and white countertops.
It's All in the Details
Subway tiles in teal line the back wall in this high-ceilinged kitchen, adding a splash of inviting warmth against the white cabinets. For additional color, burgundy barstools sit at the counter.
Oh So Chic
This Victorian home features a fully updated kitchen sprinkled with both modern and classic touches. The large island, painted a periwinkle blue, anchors the mostly white room while also serving as a focal point.
Stylish Color
This open kitchen combines modern style with an Old World feel and features soft white custom cabinets, a rich emerald backsplash and stylish furnishings.
A Play on Pastel
Color doesn't have to be bold and in your face. Here, a soft mint green coats the cabinets for a refreshing-yet-subtle addition, while wooden fixtures add just enough warmth while still keeping the inviting feel of the space.
Eye-Catching Color
Step into a tropical retreat each time you enter the kitchen with this mermaid-esque, handmade backsplash. Organic, playful and sophisticated come together perfectly in this bold kitchen design.
Unexpected Color Combo
Talk about a statement piece! The massive brown kitchen island gets a friendly dose of color thanks to five pink barstools and chic gold hardware.
Blue-tiful Island
The kitchen opens easily to the rest of the house with an island (in fun blue and white) as a subtle boundary between spaces. Lots of natural light and a simple, airy approach make the room an appealing one to hang out in.
Warm Meets Cool
For a play on warm and cool tones, the cabinets were covered with a rich red paint that contrasts with the cool shade of blue-gray on the surrounding walls. When pairing reds, whites and blues, choose unexpected tones to prevent a thematic look.
Green With Envy
The color green is known for being relaxing to the eyes. This white country kitchen features the earthy hue front and center in the kitchen island.
Retro Feels
Two inspired pendants and a fun-colored rug are the stars in this pale pink, open-plan kitchen. Open shelving over the sink gets a neutral backdrop, all the better for showing off a fun collection of houseplants and ceramics.
Grounded With Blue
The color blue is commonly known to symbolize many feelings associated with peace, relaxation and calmness, making it the perfect shade for a high-traffic room such as the kitchen. A rich hue of indigo coats the lower cabinets in this dreamy, magazine-worthy kitchen.
Relaxed, Organic Style
This open-concept kitchen incorporates modern details with timeless style in a soothing, neutral color palette with splashes of green. The mixture of handsome details and natural textures results in a calm and casual kitchen perfect for cooking and entertaining.

Handsome Hues
This handsome kitchen looks fit for a king with its regal black-and-gold island, barstools and range hood. Pale gray cabinetry acts as a foil to those bolder elements.
Bright and Happy
A colorful rug lifts the palette of this simple kitchen to rainbow levels, paired with its sky-blue lower cabinets and cloud-like upper cabinets and backsplash.
Midmod Color Blocking
Color is a vibrant part of this redesigned kitchen, thanks to color-blocked cabinet fronts that take turns with mahogany ones. Open shelving shows off pretty ceramic dishware, a nice visual tie-in with the ceramic pendant lights.
A Fun Twist
Benjamin Moore's 'Blue Suede Shoes' paint adds a fun twist to the cool coastal vibe in this beach house's kitchen. A white tiled backsplash balances out the weight of the blue to keep the space feeling open and airy.
Playful Patterns
Roman shades feature a playful and colorful pattern in this stylish, modern kitchen. A pale blue backsplash and navy island complement the hues of the shades' pattern.
Into the Woods
This contemporary kitchen features sleek forest green cabinets that add a lush hue to the space. To add a splash of more color, two teal leather stools with gold metal legs are positioned at the black marble kitchen island.
Mix of Colors
Pull up a chair — or barstool — and take in the stunning details of this modern, geometric kitchen. The small space features grand designs, as seen from the countertop-to-ceiling patterned tile backsplash to the mix of gray, dark blue and white cabinetry.
Regal Touches
This open kitchen is full of saturated, rich hues, from the bronze wall cabinets and navy lower cabinets to the plush barstools in a regal palette of gold and eggplant purple.
Instant Luxe
The gorgeous blue range seen here must have been love at first sight. And now, five-course meals are suddenly so much more fun to whip up! The color is especially charming paired with the homeowner's copper collection.
Green Goodness
These gorgeous green cabinets are just as functional as they are stylish, offering storage and keeping the counters clutter-free. Between them sits a sleek oven and range hood, which add to the kitchen's functionality.
Easy on the Eyes
Say hello to your new favorite color combo: slate blue and soft pink. The hues join harmoniously in this chic, contemporary kitchen.
Navy Blue Royale
When choosing a color for kitchen design, go all out and embrace the shade. A handsome navy blue is seen in the cabinets and subway tile backsplash, while light wood floating shelves and accents add eye-catching contrast. This kitchen definitely proves there’s no such thing as too much blue.
Green Light
According to feng shui principles, you can’t go wrong with green, the color of balance and renewal. The cabinets in this remodeled kitchen were given new life, thanks to a coat of stylish green paint.

A Versatile Shade
A huge plus to choosing a rich shade like blue, besides the versatility, is that the color allows for hardware and accents to really pop. Here, deep blue cabinets provide a beautiful backdrop for gorgeous gold hardware and glam barstools to shine.
Copper Chic
The dynamic pattern of the chic backsplash creates subtle plays of color and texture, accented by copper oven doors and hood.
Pink Pizzazz
All clean lines and open sightlines and a few bubble pendants floating up above: This beautiful kitchen is a happy place to hang out in. Bonus: pink barstools hiding under the countertop.
Beachy Blues
This kitchen space would fit right in at any seaside abode with its beachy-blue backsplash and surprising pops of cobalt throughout.
Cavern Clay
Sherwin-Williams' 2019 Color of the Year, Cavern Clay (SW 7701), steals the show in this kitchen space. The warm, rich tone perfectly pairs with the white accents in the contemporary area.
Contemporary Color
Because the rest of her home is full of pattern, owner and designer Sarah Wittenbraker kept the kitchen clean, white and fairly minimalistic. Black countertops and a navy blue island create just the right amount of contrast, though.
Modern Hues
The look of this kitchen is modern and clean-lined; texture gives it interest via the tile backsplash, metal barstools and concrete floor.

Happy Accents
A peek into this kitchen reveals a chic, white space with pops of color found in the barstools and accessories. The graphic gray-and-white backsplash visually draws your eye into the space.
Striking Contrast
This lovely kitchen is full of visual interest. The warm tones of the brown suede and leather barstools contrast the cool blue-gray of the kitchen island, while a mosaic backsplash in gray tones is topped by a copper range hood.
A Riot of Color
With its bright green-and-blue pattern, the backsplash brings the fun to this open-plan kitchen. On the ceiling, reclaimed wood is an ideal foil to the cheerful colors.
Punch of Purple
Give an eye-catching twist to a neutral kitchen by accenting the space with gorgeous, rich color, like the showstopping eggplant purple island seen here.
Hues of Blues
In this glamorous kitchen, the blue of the cabinetry is brightened by brass accents: in the range hood, pendant lights and faucets. Hand-painted ceramic tiles mark out a bold, dynamic pattern while sticking to the blue theme.
Classic Charm
Rich green cabinets, a custom Italian range and built-in bench seating make this kitchen irresistibly charming. A classic white backsplash helps to simplify the look of the space while also bringing in modern elegance.
Wow With Wallpaper
Wallpaper is an ideal way to bring striking color and fun pattern to your space. Here, a bright orange oven complements the playful wallpaper beyond.

Vivid Splash
Four red, high-back chairs sit beneath the modern, panda white slab kitchen island in this modern kitchen. The black-and-white pattern continues in the backsplash, with modern floating storage shelves and cabinetry.

A Pop of Blue
This kitchen space got a midcentury modern renovation, complete with a blue island and stools that are reminiscent of the '50s.

Bold Appliances
Bring playful energy into your kitchen space with out-of-the-box, colorful appliances. There’s something so fun about waking up to orange appliances that just pop when you go to make your morning coffee.

The standout green piece complements the blue floral wallpaper, the Murano glass chandeliers, white cabinetry and Carrara marble backsplash.
Orange Barstools
Bring a much-needed splash of color into any space with fun accent furniture. Here, tangerine orange barstools liven up this gray-and-white kitchen area.
Burst of Sunshine
A vibrant yellow island is the eye-catching focal point in this kitchen. A trio of metal barstools line up with the countertop to provide an eat-in space.
