Teal
According to Griege Design, Improovy, and Pinteresters, teal is still having its moment in the limelight. The dark jewel tone “makes a smaller room look large” and creates a stunning “focal point for any contemporary kitchen,” according to Improovy CEO, Andre Kazimierski.
To get the most out of the dramatic hue, he suggests using it on shaker-style cabinets to emphasize the woodwork and pairing it with brass fixtures.

Barely Green
There’s no doubt green has been trending in interiors for years now, with olive, sage and hunter all gaining popularity. In a twist on the trend, Thomas says she’s gotten several requests for Benjamin Moore’s April Showers or November Rain.
“These colors have just a hint of green, but are otherwise pretty neutral and warm,” she says.
And, like white oak, it mixes well with all finishes. That gives homeowners lots of options to create a polished kitchen look they love, especially if they’re feeling nervous about committing to a bolder shade of green.

Blush
Pink as an interior color has grown and shifted over the last few years, from Millennial pink walls or textiles to something softer and perhaps more livable for some.
Thomas says she’s seen the popularity growing with blush-toned cabinets online, although she hasn’t reeled in her own client yet. Cabinetmakers like deVol have been showing pink on their social media channels to hugely positive responses, and Instagrammers have also started in.
