As one of the busiest rooms in the home, the kitchen serves as a landing space for everything, from meal preparation to project crafting and hosting family and friends. Your kitchen also reflects your taste and lifestyle, so you cannot afford to compromise on its appearance. Thankfully, a new year brings new opportunities for remodelling and home improvements. One of the ways you can update your kitchen this new year is to have it spray painted.

When carried out by professional spray painters, spray painting can instantly transform the appearance of your kitchen and give it a new look or even give a new splash of colour to your radiators, so don’t overlook simple things like spraying a radiator. However, because home interior colour trends are constantly changing and there are several different paint colours to choose from, many homeowners do find themselves torn between different colour schemes. To help make things a little easier, here are some 2023 kitchen colour trends for you to consider. 

Vintage Colors

If a more vibrant and energetic cooking space is what you're going for, then incorporating age-old colours and patterns can help you achieve this one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Colours like navy blue, burgundy, and comforting browns are great choices here. 

Nature's Neutrals

Although not exactly new (as it really took off last year), the trend of kitchens painted in nature-inspired neutrals like the various hues of green is expected to continue in 2023. These paint colours (green and its hues) are influenced by the societal changes that we are experiencing today- growth and revitalisation after a period of uncertainty. Whether you use your kitchen for cooking, relaxing, or entertaining, green is a colour that just works.

Warm Earthy Tones

Although an all-white kitchen scheme complemented with nature-inspired neutrals (like blues and greens) still offers a sense of relaxation and renewal, earthy reds and browns offer a much cosier alternative to the neutrals with cool undertones. 

Blush Beige

While nature greatly influenced the colour trends in 2022, there is no reason to stick to the boring browns and tans. The blush-beige hue is a colour that is capable of transforming your kitchen into a cosy and warm space that is still quite energizing. To create a more soothing and balancing effect with this colour scheme, try pairing the blush-beige with neutrals and earthy colours.

Dusty Pink

As surprising as it sounds, soft and dusty pink colours (not bubblegum or sweet candy type) are quite trendy now. An elegant and refined soft pink, muted with dusty grey undertones, can give your kitchen's appearance a glowing warmth with a touch of softness. Pairing this colour with a gentle off-white (on your ceiling and walls) can further maintain the flow of gentility that the colour brings to your kitchen space.

Wood-Inspired Tuxedo Cabinets

Tuxedo cabinets (a light colour on the upper cabinets paired with a dark colour on the lower cabinets) have gained remarkable popularity amongst homeowners. This trend, which is a great look for all kinds of kitchen design styles (contemporary, cottage, modern), is expected to dominate in 2023, with most homeowners opting for wooden lower cabinets. 

If you want to incorporate this look but don't have the budget for all-new lower cabinets, you can easily mimic the natural wood tone with colours like poised taupe and homestead brown, as they are hues of browns with grey undertones. These colours will look great on your kitchen cabinets since they can add flair without overwhelming the entire colour scheme of your kitchen.

Conclusion

Spray painting is an excellent way to give your dated kitchen a much-needed facelift in 2023. The paint colour you choose for your kitchen greatly influences its style, mood, and how the space will be perceived, so it is important to get it right. Carefully consider the above kitchen colour trends, and don't be afraid to add your own creative touch if needed.
