Kitchen Cabinet Color Trends for Your Bay Area Home

If you follow our project blogs, or other home improvement resources like Houzz.com, you know that painted kitchen cabinets are hugely popular. And, unlike more fickle trends that come and go in a flash, this one just isn’t going anywhere.

Painting your cabinets opens the doors to endless options, possibilities, and combinations that can be tailored to your specific home. Working with your professional painting company is a fun opportunity to add real value and style in a cost-effective way, while radically transforming this central space.

And, it all starts with just a bit of inspiration.

What Are the Most Popular Kitchen Cabinet Colors?

White and grey are leading the pack.

Why?

While they might not be the most visually exciting all on their own, they offer a timeless neutrality. And, with this neutrality comes the ability to mix in other colors and textures without making the space busy.

Above and below are examples of recent projects we’ve completed that showcase exactly how much style a clean, white finish can deliver.

If white and grey aren’t cutting it for you on their own, here are a few more stylish ideas to consider:

  • Make your island a statement piece - If your cabinets are neutral, your island could be your ticket to introducing vibrant color in a limited way.

  • Different colors for your upper and lower cabinets - Typically a darker color is chosen for the lower sections and a light option for the upper cabinets. This is an attractive way to mix up the palette a bit.

  • Add something natural - Natural wood shelving, stools, or even a section of butcher block countertop (perhaps on your island) adds a nice touch. This is very stylish, and it also can work well with a variety of surrounding colors.

Talk To Your Local Painting Company

As we touched on above, the very best decision you can make is to find and partner with a quality local painting company. There’s no margin for error or grace for amateur work when it comes to your cabinets; they can be tough surfaces to smoothly transform in a truly lasting way.

Customer Reviews

“MB Jessee painters are stellar! As a designer I've worked with numerous companies over the years, and MB Jessee is a top-notch firm. From the first phone call to the final clean up, every person is courteous, professional, and hard working. The owner, Matt, is a charitable leader who has instilled his team with integrity and honesty providing the customer with a first class experience at a fair price with a paint job that is guaranteed to last. I highly recommend MB Jessee. Thank you Matt and your STAR crew-Daniel, Rigoberto, Vicente, Edy, Pedro, and Mario, for a job well executed! Cynthia Brian, ASID, Starstyle® Productions, llc”

“The finish on my kitchen cabinets had failed, becoming tacky and grimy around the handles. M B Jessee gave me a reasonable quote, far below some others, and did an outstanding job, striping the original varnish and refinishing with a new lacquer finish. The cabinets look like new. Work was done 1 day faster than estimated. The crew was extremely hard-working, considerate, and neat. Highly recommend M B Jessee.”

“Just wanted to let you know that the crew was great to have around the house for the past two weeks. All three of them were professional, courteous, and attentive to my thoughts/concerns and were extremely knowledgeable. They paid great attention to the detail and it shows.”

— Mark & Roberta Gross

“My entire experience with MB Jesse was very professional. The crew were very friendly and super accommodating of my ridiculous schedule and geriatric pets in the house. The finished product, which was pretty much my entire house, far exceeds my expectations. Would definitely work with them again!”

— Heather Jordan

“Awesome work by highly experienced, professional painters. They were: Conscious about the amount of time it would take. Ours had a lot of pre-work and took 3 weeks. Accommodating when we added a few last-minute changes Understanding when a heatwave hit and we remove some of the plastic sheeting over windows, which they had to put back up the next day. Accessible, especially the on-site crew (Hi Jose & Victor!) -- always answering questions and checking in. The end result is a perfect paint job that makes our 94-year-old house look brand new. I would definitely hire MBJ again”

“I just wanted to send you an email to say that John did such a great job over here today. He is truly a hard worker. He has the perfect balance of friendliness, honesty, and professionalism. I trust him. He takes the time to do the job to the best of his ability and that is what sets him (and your company) apart from the competition. He didn't make me feel rushed. He really made me feel like our job was the most important thing in the world. Thanks again!”

“Julie,Just to let you know I am very appreciative of your crew catching the plumbing/mold problem. It was very astute of them. I wanted to let you know that again your crew has done excellent work here, please pass this along to Mr. Jessee. There are some bumps in the road here, but the painting and your crew has not been one of them. Their work is the only thing going right currently, and this crew is very nice and respectful. It is much appreciated. Thank you again.”
