Simple Kitchen Design Ideas For Small Spaces

Committing to a cabinet color can feel daunting. Here’s the thing: The kitchen is likely the hub of your home, a hardworking backdrop to (virtual) dinner parties, homework help, and more. Such a front-and-center space needs to look—or, more important, feel—like a true reflection of you. And few design decisions are as personal and impactful as the palette.

Standard white fronts might be a classic choice, but there’s a whole spectrum of possibilities to consider: mellow yellow to emanate warmth, cornflower blue to create a sense of serenity, or zippy mint for an unexpected pop. We rounded up nine kitchen cabinet color ideas to get you inspired, from safe bets to statement shades. Go on, take a risk—it’ll be worth it.
