Are light blue kitchen cabinets going to be like gray kitchens in a few years?

[Anonymous]

I'm seeing lots of light blue kitchens in my instagram and pinterest these days. I love them, but do you think they are getting so popular that they'll be akin the gray kitchens in a few years?

yes, trends die down then come back eventually.

Moral of the story: do what you want.

Like everything else, I think what matters most is the rest of the house.

In a sweet cottage? I think they’ll look great for decades. Incongruous blue shaker cabinets in a 70’s split level? No.

What DOES go with a 70s split level? I have pretty traditional style and it feels like every cabinet style is either modern (plain front) or a variation of shaker.

It'll be dated, but personally I think a lot of the grey colors were a little depressing, so maybe at least the blue won't have that issue.

Same here. I just can't get into a white cabinet, grey is too trendy... is a medium wood color still acceptable these days?

Modern, stained wood. To match the wood paneling.

I think matching the inside with the outside is foolish. You rarely get to see both inside and outside at the same time, and you shouldn't have to live with a certain style inside your house just because of when it was built.

Imo flat fronts. That’s one style of house where I think it’s hard to go against the architecture with the decor.

To each their own, I guess.

Seriously, just go with what you like and what looks good in your kitchen.

Has Harvest Gold ever come back?

There's a blogger with a 70s split who went 100% mid-century modern inside. It looks like a set. It's one thing if you actually like that, but it's not like you live in Colonial Williamsburg and HAVE to have furniture and decor that matches your house.

Be careful...there was an Architectural Digest article from August called "Designers Can’t Get Enough of Yellow Interiors Right Now."

I agree that flat fronts are best here, but white or bright colors or wood could all work. Metal sink, not farmhouse. Lots of hardware, backsplash, and countertop options but I would avoid something very country or French Colonial or otherwise really out of step with the architecture...unless you LOVE it and plan to be in the house a long time.
