Every home is unique and the most intimately and extensively used part of it is the kitchen. The kitchen design, its spatial arrangement, and the usage of patterns and colors say a lot about the users and their aesthetic aspirations. There have been many décor trends that we have seen in the past few years, but colorful kitchen cabinets have taken center stage in kitchen design trends 2024. Be it in India or across the globe, colourful cabinets have become a trend that are gaining a lot of popularity among home owners. If you are looking for the latest ideas, especially pertaining to kitchen cabinet finishes, we are here to help you! Here is a look at some ways in which you can create beautiful and colorful kitchen cabinets:

1. A play of pretty pastels

Pastel kitchen cabinets continue to be a top choice for many homeowners and designers when it comes to choosing a color palette for their homes. Using a combination of different complimenting pastel or bright colors like chalky white and sage grey or lime or Irish cream and blue Danube is a great way to create a classy and sophisticated kitchen design that is welcoming, airy, and bright. If you do not have a lot of natural light coming in or if your kitchen is small, this is one of the best options for kitchen cabinet finishes for you. Light and bright colors give a sense of spaciousness and create a playful, yet elegant ambiance that is ideal for those who seek a perfect balance of elegance and fun in their spaces.

2. Contrast is here to stay!

Gone are the days when people used to shy away from having bold and contrasting kitchen cabinets. Today, the thought that goes into a kitchen design has equal if not more significance as people want smart, functional, and modern kitchen styles to be highlighted in their homes. Contrasting kitchen cabinets has become a massive trend when one thinks of the latest kitchen design ideas. From classic combinations like charcoal grey and white or unique combinations like dark blue and mustard yellow, we are seeing designers come up with unique color combinations that elevate the look of a kitchen, making it a star attraction in homes today. The most important criterion that one must consider when choosing contrasting colors is the nature of colors and their impact on the users. Cool colors like blue, green, grey, etc. have a more calming influence on the users, and warm colors like orange, yellow, olive green, etc. help create a more cozy and welcoming ambiance. While some designers opt for a completely warm or cool color scheme, some others prefer to mix contrasting shades from both the warm and cool color range to create a balance of both in their kitchen design. You can also pair textures of different types to achieve a beautiful look for your kitchen. The amount of natural light you have, the size of the kitchen, spatial design, etc. are some more factors that you need to keep in mind while choosing the two tones for your kitchen. Cool colors are ideal for a smaller kitchen with less natural light and warm tones are perfect for a large kitchen which has ample natural light pouring in. Merino laminate offers a wide range of colors and finishes that are a perfect choice for those who wish to incorporate stunning colors into their kitchen design.
