Blue Kitchen Cabinets

I am so excited that popular kitchen colors 2019 are so playful and vibrant! In years past, simplistic white kitchens with dark wood floors and marble countertops have been what absolutely everybody wanted in their homes. But this year, it is very on trend to bring in bright pops of color to liven up these high traffic rooms. Don't worry, you don't have to rip out your existing cabinets and run to the local store to pick out new ones in a bolder hue (although you certainly could). It is so easy to incorporate this trend using painted kitchen cabinet ideas that utilize your existing units in a new a fun way.  The kitchen you see here used to be a deep brown stain (like you see on the island and range hood).

I have always loved the idea of adding blue kitchen cabinets to our home, but was afraid to commit to such a trendy color palette. The main thing that I liked about the look, was that it is something so much different than your average white or cherry cabinets.  After a lot of browsing around I did find a lot of classic yet non-traditional kitchen cabinet ideas that incorporate unique color palettes and elegant yet trendy items. This home was actually my favorite design because it has a chic French country theme but with a contemporary twist from the cool grey kitchen cabinets and contrasting ebony island.

A large kitchen island has been on my wishlist for years now.  Something about a large center unit really ties together the room to me, especially if it is an open concept space that incorporates several different "zones" for various activities.  A large island provides a central focal point and gathering area that is both functional and decorative. When we were planning out how to put one in our home, I wanted to think a bit outside of the box and use some funky kitchen cabinet paint colors that were a little bit unexpected. I was too chicken to fill my entire space with blue kitchen cabinets but I do love the trendy look they bring, so I thought that an island would be the perfect place to showcase this bright hue.

Switching out kitchen paint colors is an easy way to completely revamp the way your room looks without spending a ton of money on brand new cabinets or countertops.  Before we started the makeover in this small home, the cabinetry was painted a nice white color that look good but lacked much personality or pizazz. Our client loves bright colors so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to experiment with trendy blue kitchen cabinets. Since we were just going to sand and paint the cabinet doors and boxes rather than spending a ton on completely new units, we thought it would be a safe choice to play around with this unconventional color.

In my recent home remodel, my main focus was to create a modern kitchen that would be a classy addition to my home décor. However, I needed to remodel on a budget, and the most important thing I had to consider was the cost of kitchen cabinets. I had to identify the most I could pay, which would leave room for replacing my appliances, and still leave me with the most perfect cabinets. The second most important thing for me was the kitchen cabinet colors. I needed a color that would attract the eye of all my guests at every dinner party, and complement my décor, without taking all the attention. Based on the white and gray décor of my home, I decided on blue kitchen cabinets.

I absolutely love the idea of blue kitchen cabinets but I was afraid that it would be too much in a small space like we have at our house. Those thoughts all changed when I saw this awesome design.   The way that they combined the white kitchen cabinets along the top and then brought in the bright indigo shade for the remaining units and the island was a brilliant way to use the blue without it overpowering the small space. I have hear that lighter shades like white and grey are the best kitchen colors if you have a small space. So their use of the white subway tile walls, upper cabinets and remaining wall space really opens up the space.
