It’s safe to say that coloured kitchen cabinets aren’t going anywhere. And why would you want them to? For the hub of your home to evoke a feeling and tell a story, you’d be wise to avoid going down the all-white route in favour of embracing the joy and rapture that colour can bring.
In this post we’ll explore just that by taking a look inside four kitchen cabinet colour ideas from kaboodle. These new looks banish the boring, showcasing six new door and cabinet colours that are impactful and yet totally appropriate for everyday living.
Created in conjunction with designer Jono Fleming, these four kitchen colour trends are inspired by stories of travel, a renewed sense of adventure and a yearning for nostalgia. And they’re all available through Bunnings stores nationwide.
When it comes to design, fortune favours the brave! So let’s explore the kitchen cabinet colour ideas below and get you pumped to create one of these looks at your place.
This post is produced in partnership with kaboodle.
Kitchen Cabinet Colour Idea 1: Embrace
The earthier of the four looks (and possibly my fave of the bunch) is the Embrace Trend. It’s designed to support calm and self-care, with its use of soothing green and grounded brown tones throughout. I’m sold!
kaboodle Cabinet Colours Used in this Trend:
- Edamame: a soothing, earthy green that evokes tranquility
- Walnut: a textural, warm wood grain that grounds a space
- Available in a modern cabinet profile
- Here’s an idea: elevate the vibe by introducing a concrete-look benchtop like Yamaroo.
It’s A Kitchen Trend That Brings the Outdoors In
Trends inspired by nature have been on the rise post-Covid. And it’s easy to understand why. Having spent so much time indoors, it made sense we wanted to bring the outdoors in. The philosophy has stuck, leaving us yearning for a colour palette at home that nurtures and helps us unwind.
Natural elements are essential when it comes to styling around the edamame and walnut cabinet profiles in this kitchen trend. You want a sense of the organic to be present. Think tactile timber, concrete and stone that feels beautiful to-the-touch with a sense of imperfection.
The kitchen cabinet colour ideas in this trend really are about making the zone a sanctuary to come home to after a long day. No more hustle culture in this space; it’s all about rest and rejuvenation.
Kitchen Cabinet Colour Idea 2: Connect
You know as well as I do just how popular warm tones have become in the world of interiors. It’s little wonder kitchen cabinet colour ideas followed suit. And what a concept the Connect Trend is. If your home could do with a memorable design moment, consider creating this one.
kaboodle Cabinet Colours Used in this Trend:
- Tagine: a warm and earthy terracotta tone
- Available in a modern cabinet profile
- Here’s an idea: ground the tagine cabinets by pairing them with a hazelnut laminate across other cabinetry moments in the room
It’s A Kitchen Trend That Encourages Conversation
This is a kitchen trend that’s striking, there’s no doubt about it. It’s as if you’ve been transported to Marrakech. It’s a look that certainly packs a punch, but one that you’re in complete control of.
You might choose to introduce the tagine into a lower run of cabinets, or save it for a set of pantry doors that connect stylistically to another warm terracotta moment in the space (or an adjoining one). If you’re an adventurous soul, go all out and rock it like you see it executed here.
It’s an engaging kitchen aesthetic that encourages (as the name suggests) connection with friends and family. The tagine pairs well with gunmetal accents, warm timbers and lighter stones on benchtops. There’s an artisanal sensibility here too, so handmade ceramics and original artworks would shine here on the style-front.
Kitchen Cabinet Colour Idea 3: Indulge
Repeat after me: elegance is in! The Indulge Trend is a true celebration of opulence and charm. Featuring bold shades and a sense of whimsy, it’s a kitchen cabinet colour idea that feels nostalgic; a bit of a visual wonderland that’s truly joyous to spend time in.
kaboodle Cabinet Colours Used in this Trend:
- Paprika: a rich burgundy hue that evokes opulence
- Candy Floss: a soft pink tone with a sense of whimsy
- Available in modern, alpine, country and heritage cabinet profiles
- Here’s an idea: level-up the luxe by rocking these cabinets with a anti-fingerprint biancoccino benchtop
It’s A Kitchen Trend That Sparks Joy
It’s hard not to smile when you look at the Indulge Trend. It’s full of personality and invites you to be bold. There’s a sense of European adventure here too, like you’ve landed in Paris for coffee and cake.
The rich Paprika tone is a show-stopper, but it’s the Candy Floss that’s captured my attention. It’s pink, sure, but not an in-your-face hue. It’s instead quite subtle and almost reads as an off-white. It marries beautifully with bold blue, aged brass and crisp white marble.
Because it leans into a nostalgic vibe, the Indulge Trend bodes well for traditional elements in cabinet handles, wall and ceiling lights, and tapware profiles. Who doesn’t love a classic?
Kitchen Cabinet Colour Idea 4: Celebrate
Why can’t kitchens be fun? kaboodle’s Celebrate Trend declares they can be! Of the four kitchen cabinet colour ideas presented here, this is by far the most vibrant. If that’s a word you’d use to describe your personality, it’s time to adopt this look at your place.
kaboodle Cabinet Colours Used in this Trend:
- Mostaza: a lively mustard yellow shade
- Available in a modern cabinet profile
- Here’s an idea: include a hazelnut benchtop in your scheme to provide some visual rest
It’s A Kitchen Trend That’s Consumed with Colour
This kitchen trend is all about celebrating life; gathering around with loved ones to enjoy food and festivity. It’s a sunny, optimistic scheme that while bright, can easily be toned down through the use of hazelnut timbers and splashes of calcutta gloss benchtops.
Black accents in appliances work well amongst the matte yellow cabinets, allowing them to be the star of the show. You’d be wise to allow the Mostaza to be the hero of the kitchen; the other elements should support it.
In smaller decorative elements, let the colour run wild. The Celebrate Trend really is a sensory overload, so don’t be afraid to bring in warm reds and bold blues in things like vases and artworks. More is more.
The kaboodle trends range is available across their doors and panels. You can use them on their own or mix ‘n’ match them with other colours in our existing range.
