Colour Trends in Building Renovation and Cabinetry

October 25, 2022

As we move into the 2020s, there are a few new colour trends emerging in the world of building renovation and cabinetry. If you’re thinking about updating your home this year, you may want to consider incorporating one or more of these trendy colours into your design. Here’s a quick overview of what’s hot right now.

Neutrals with a Pop of Colour


If you’re not ready to commit to a fully colourful space, consider painting your walls and cabinets in neutral shades like white, grey, or beige, then adding a pop of colour with accents like rugs, towels, or dishes. This trend is perfect for those who want to update their space without going too far outside their comfort zone.


Bold and Bright


For those who are feeling bolder, bright colours are having a moment right now. Think yellow, orange, pink, and even green. These colours can be used on walls, cabinets, or even appliances for a truly unique look. Just be sure not to go too overboard – too much brightness can be overwhelming.


Mixed Metals


Gone are the days when all your hardware had to match. Nowadays, it’s trendy to mix different metals throughout your space for a more interesting look. For example, you might pair brass cabinet knobs with stainless steel light fixtures. Or try mixing chrome and bronze for an unexpected twist.


Conclusion


Whether you’re planning a minor update or a complete renovation, consider incorporating one or more of these trendy colours into your design. Neutrals with a pop of colour are perfect for those who want an updated look without going too far outside their comfort zone. If you’re feeling bolder, bright colours are having a moment right now. And don’t be afraid to mix different metals throughout your space – it’s actually trendy! Whatever route you choose, have fun and enjoy making your house into a home that reflects your unique style.
