Whatever you ultimately decide on, don’t let trends or others’ opinions dissuade you from your vision Your kitchen should mirror your personality and be a natural extension of how you’ve decorated the rest of your home. The size of your kitchen plays a big role in your color decision - small kitchens, for example, can feel cramped if you paint all the cabinets in a dark, deep color, so it's better to go for something softer or only paint the kitchen island in the statement shade. Benjamin Moore Nimbus Gray is a popular choice among blue cabinet paint colors, and it looks amazing against bright whites. You can stay in a saver zone with light grays and greiges, or really up the wow factor with a striking green, blue or black. Lean in ever so slightly with a light sky blue, go bold with cobalt or make a dramatic statement with a dark gray-blue.

Similar to other kitchen-friendly colors like white and gray, this versatile hue offers endless opportunities. But since indigo, navy and azure (among other energizing kitchen paint colors) tend to overwhelm, start small with these blue kitchen cabinet idea s.

And while the cool hue won't necessarily take away the everyday stress that comes with whipping up weeknight dinners or perfecting holiday menus, the soul-soothing shade can certainly make it a more warm and inviting room to complete the task at hand (a win in our eyes). Blue ushers in a feeling of comfort and calm, which, let's face it, is exactly what you need in your kitchen.
