The White Kitchen
A white kitchen has made a serious dent in the cabinetry world. It's classic look can lend itself to traditional, contemporary and even modern. This is why it is the "safe" option when homeowners are concerned with resale of their home. Consider a warm white like Benjamine Moore's CC-40 Cloud White, or a greyish white like CC-50 White Down.

The Mix and Match Kitchen
If you are a little more adventurous and want to steer away from all white kitchen, mix and matching may be the style for you! Kitchens have moved away from everything matching. It's not a new trend but is still holding strong in the industry. Having the island a different colour or material, switching up counter top colours and adding in coloured accents are still ways to keep the your kitchen unique and different.

Two Toned Kitchen
People are still warming up to this trend, the two toned kitchen. Instead of mixing up the island or counter top colours, try using a different, bold colour on the base cabinetry, and a lighter colour on the uppers. This is what I have done to my kitchen, but the reveal has yet to come. (You can, however, see my colour palette here).
