When it comes to kitchens, the cabinet color indicates the sound. After all, cupboards are often the star of the whole room! Neutral cabinet tones such as white, TAN and Navy have been popular for years because they are easy to design – but a bold cabinet color that is in their tracks can also have a greater design power.

As these 10 kitchen conversions prove, sometimes a brave kitchen cupboard color really pays off. There is an entire rainbow of possibilities that are waiting to make your kitchen unforgettable, and these are some of the most memorable for me.

1. A boring brown kitchen gets a quirky repetition – and a surprising new cabinet color

Andrea Granger (@hunt.and.scavenge), an artist and interior designer, brought her chocolate brown kitchen cabinets to the next level with a brave step: painting in Sherwin-Williams' Pflaumen Dandy, a striking shadow of the purple. “The purple was such a daring choice, but I suggested it to the home owners and they were surprisingly very excited,” said Andrea previously apartment therapy. This kitchen can almost not be recognized from traditional brown to light, brave purple.

2. A brave painting transforms this boring kitchen into a “statement” room

Inspired by the color palette of the modernist interior of the 1950s and 60s, the interior design decided, Sam Sakalai (@livingspace_to), to give his kitchen, which he shared with his partner Phil, a big upgrade. He chose a deep, dramatic blue (Benjamin Moores Patriot Blue) for the cupboards and the back splash. To tie everything together, he ordered suitable door knobs from Etsy. The transformation costs about 6,000 US dollars.

3. A outdated kitchen receives a dramatic, purple-tinted repetition for $ 3,125

The interior designer Katherine Thewlis (@hausmatter) and her husband Andy were ready to bring her kitchen to the next level. They endeavored to move away from their original brown and white space and try out something more daring. To do this, they took a brave step by painting their cupboards into a striking Burgundy purple. They started removing some of the upper cupboards near the wash basin and painting the remaining cupboards and the kitchen island in Sherwin-Williams' Rookwood Dark Red, which adds depth and drama.

5. The Ikea cabinet revision of the 100-year-old cuisine adds a serious drama

These rich red-capable cupboards radiate boldness, self-confidence and “I am the main character energy”. Although she is tenants, DIY Pro and Content Creator Imani Keal (@imaniathome), it was worth investing to give her kitchen a renovation, and she painted her kitchen cupboards with Valspars Royal Granat.

6. A outdated “very 80s” kitchen gets a striking no-demo-makeover

Instead of completely removing the historical bones of their kitchen from the 1980s, homeowners Heath and Samantha Mitchell (@Rainbowhomereno) gave their new life with fresh color. It is the webster park of British Paint, a deep blue -green one that is beautifully complemented by the colored glass.

7. A $ 4,800 transformation makes a “very tight” kitchen “twice as big”, which feels twice as big “

The designer Megan Lusher (@kalemdesignhouse) called the selection of the somewhat risky kitchen cupboard color in this revision a “terrible choice”, but loves the way the color (Benjamin Moores Hearth Red) came out – especially paired with everything else. “The more we were layered there, the more it felt like a real kitchen than just a small room with a fridge and oven,” Megan previously told apartment therapy.

8. $ 1,000 later, a “tired” kitchen is now colorful and cheesy for the maximum

It was the year for butter yellow, and Marina Porter and her husband Alexander Arseneau were ahead of the trend to add yellow to their home. Before hugging the living color, there was oak cabinets dated in your kitchen. By painting them in Behr's yellow anniversary, they gave them a completely new, happy look. Marina says to paint the cupboards, “really brightens the room”.

9. A fresh cabinet color gives this kitchen a large energy boost

Diyer Stacey-Ann Blake (@designaddictmom) converted her once dark cuisine into a light, lively space. “Color is in my DNA. After examining a series of green colors, I found one that works great in the room,” she says. The color she decided to lighten things? A refreshing Limey Mint color: Benjamin Moores Sherwood Green. Stacey's painting advice is to invest in quality color, as this makes a difference in the finished look.

10. Helle, colorful cupboards have taken this brown kitchen from Bla to breathtaking

Hilary Crawfords (@hilaryscoloFORFULHOME) 128 square meters of large cuisine has long been overdue for a revision. The original room contained dark wooden cupboards that darken the natural light of the room and created a dark atmosphere. Before she started with the process, she wanted to make sure that the room felt brighter and brighter and flowed with the rest of the living house. The goal for the task was to keep the “costs to an absolute minimum”, and this brave paintwork with Little Green Mid Azure Green is proof that you can update your kitchen with a small budget.
