Considering how much time is spent within our kitchens, the colour of the kitchen cabinets is such an important factor. Now that the end of 2025 is almost upon us, we are starting to think about which kitchen colours will trend during 2026.
Good Housekeeping’s Kitchen Cabinet Colour Recommendations
We found that neutral colours were extremely popular for kitchen sprays this year however Good Housekeeping state that “a neutral kitchen will never go out of style, but the moment is calling for more”. One particular colour that they recommend, which our teams have previously sprayed kitchens in twice, is Farrow and Ball’s India Yellow:
Farrow and Ball have so many beautiful colours and we have colour matched them and spray painted hundreds of kitchens in them. Good Housekeeping declare that “designers are noticing that the top kitchen cabinets of 2026 are much more daring than they have been in the recent past”. Some of Farrow and Ball’s more daring colours that we have sprayed over the years include:

House Beautiful have said that “homeowners want personality and character in their homes, and paint is one of the fastest, easiest, and most affordable ways to get it”. They also found that “trends are now leaning more personal and expressive” and similarly to Good Housekeeping above, they also expect mustard yellows to be popular during 2026, stating that “it’s an evolution of the current butter yellow color trend, offering a slightly deeper shade”.
House Beautiful expect many beautiful colours to trend next year, including light teals, plums, muddy greens and sky blues and here are photos of kitchens that our teams have painted in similar colours:

Ideal Home say that “design experts all agree, these are the three kitchen colours that have no place in 2026 – the shades we’re leaving behind – dark green, navy, butter yellow”. We are hoping that this prediction is wrong as we love to spray colourful shades such as these! Here are some kitchens that we have transformed in these wonderful colours:
One of our spray painting teams are going to be spraying Harley Green, as pictured above, during our first week back after our Christmas break and if you would like to keep an eye out for our after photos, we suggest that you follow our Instagram page, which we regularly update with thousands of kitchen spray before and afters.

Real Simple have stated “we’ve been saying this for years: white cabinets are slowly being phased out of kitchens”. Although white kitchens are not as popular as they once were, we find that whites do usually remain consistently popular each year. Based on the colours that our January customers have chosen so far, we expect that we will still be spraying kitchens white during 2026 and beyond.
Colours of the Year 2026
Dulux’s colour of the year is Indigo Blue and Valspar’s colour of the year is Warm Eucalyptus. Our opinion about kitchen colour trends during 2026 is that there is no knowing which colours will be the most popular! Over the years that we have been spraying kitchens, there have been a variety of trends such as blue kitchens, green kitchens and neutral kitchens however we do still always seem to end up spraying a large variety of colours regardless of which colour is currently “on trend”. If you are somebody who likes to follow the latest trend, you could have your kitchen sprayed and then resprayed in another colour when you fancy a new colour. Kitchen spray painting is an affordable service and as it is much cheaper than having a kitchen replaced, spraying may be a good option for you if you plan to update your kitchen colour more frequently.
The best thing about having a kitchen spray carried out by our company is that we can spray any colour. We have matched hundreds of colours already and to match new colours, we just require a small, dry sample of your chosen colour. Whether you want to choose a trending colour or a colour that may be out of style but that you love and want to choose anyway, we can spray it for you. We have over a thousand positive reviews and we offer a 10 year guarantee when we spray paint a kitchen, which covers peeling, cracking, fading and discolouration.
Please get in touch with us if you have any queries about colour or anything else or if you would like a free, no obligation spray estimate.
