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

The kitchen trend I am over is different colored lower and upper cabinets and/or islands in a different color/with a different countertop than the rest of the kitchen. Just looks like someone replaced half the cabinets or island and didn't bother with the rest.

Painting cabinets is much more of a pain than painting walls though. It's either very expensive or a big DIY project

IDK, but I love my green cabinets. Don't care if it's dated. I love color. I hate the gray/white phase. I miss my spanish colonial with a colorful kitchen out west so much.

I really love the second one, and I don't even like green that much.

On the light blue question - are there that many light blue kitchens out there? I see navy or a deeper blue for an accent like an island, but would never do all the cabinets in light blue.

I have both of these things, which were part of a full renovation. In retrospect, I’m not sure I’d do the different color tops/bottoms again—although it’s fine, and I’m not sure what single color would have worked—but I chose countertop materials for functionality, so I’ll always be happy with that decision.

We were very focused overall on functionality and materials, which means we compromised some on aesthetics. The new kitchen does everything we wanted it to, and we love cooking in and spending time in it. If you’re not an Instagram influencer or a house flipper, don’t compromise function for form.

I actually think that if done well this is a really good design style.
