When you dig into the most popular kitchen colour trends of 2019, you’ll notice one thing – a lack of bright white. This year, designers are exploring the colour wheel in the kitchen with fervent curiosity … and the results are delicious.
In the Navy Now
The rich hue of navy blue has the versatility to adapt to either a modern or traditional kitchen setting, making it a top choice for those who are adventurous in the kitchen (and with their colours).

Check Matte
Matte black has become a favourite for kitchen fixtures and hardware accents, but this year it’s moving onto the walls and cabinets. It’s easy on the eye, making the space feel calm and cool.
Green With Envy
Since olive green is a favourite of fashion houses this year, it won’t be long before it find its way into our homes.
Pastel Pastries
Fondant blue, pink icing and cream custard are all popping up as popular hues for 2019. Their buttery pastel tints add just a hint of colour to the kitchen without overwhelming it.
Two to Tango
Using two tones from the same colour family allows you to play with perspective in the kitchen. The dark paint creates depth, while the lighter one becomes a highlighter.
Charcoal Artist
Elegant and dramatic, charcoal grey is showing up on cabinets and walls this year. While it brings a moody element to the kitchen, it also pairs nicely with one of the aforementioned sugary pastels.
Earth Goddess
Earthy terra cotta and honey hues bring an elevated energy to a cooking space, creating a vibe that’s both inviting and positive. Isn’t that what we all want to feel in a kitchen?
Peace Doves
A warm grey works as an easy foundational colour for a kitchen, giving you a blank canvas to play with black, metallics and pattern in the cabinetry, hardware and backsplash.
Into the Woods
Pulling their inspiration from nature – think silver bark, rock lichen and wild mushrooms – these soft, woodsy taupe and grey shades bring the outdoors inside and act as an enticing neutral in the kitchen.
Cream Tea
Now, 2019 isn’t saying goodbye to white kitchens altogether – but it’s looking across the Atlantic for its inspiration, opting for the creamy whites found in idyllic farmhouses of the English countryside.
