If we had to guess the color of your kitchen, we’d be safe assuming it’s white — or something close. White is the top color for cabinets, walls, backsplashes and counters, according to Houzz, with nearly half of all homeowners choosing white cabinets. (Plain wood is a distant second, at 25%.) Most of us love white because it looks clean, light and airy, but kitchen design is trending in the direction of big, bold colors. If you’re ready to add color to your own space, check out how we turned a basic white kitchen into a lively cookspace. Then, scroll to shop for more eye-popping picks.
