Kitchen Advice
Whether you’re planning a full kitchen remodel or you’re looking for ways to make small yet impactful changes that will transform your space, the colours you choose to incorporate can make or break your design. So, let’s take a look at some of the most popular colour choices for kitchen unit doors right now.
Top Colour Trends for Kitchen Unit Doors in 2025
Muted tones
Soft, muted tones are a beautiful way to subtly incorporate colour into your kitchen. While bold tones can overwhelm smaller spaces and rooms that perhaps don’t have a lot of natural light, muted colours can give your kitchen a sense of warmth and vitality whilst contributing to a feeling of lightness and brightness every time you step inside.
Light muted colours are extremely versatile and can be easily paired with everything from medium or dark toned woods to marble countertops and polished brass hardware. So, whether you want to embrace natural materials in an earthy and grounded design or explore classic mid-century modern style, muted kitchen unit doors can be an ideal choice.
Pro Tip: Muted pinks, blues, greens, yellows and purples can all look stunning in a kitchen space, so take some time to think about which hues bring you joy and uplift you when you look at them.
Moody graphites
If you want your kitchen to make a real statement in your home but you aren’t drawn to bold black kitchen unit doors, a moody graphite finish is a great option. While softer than black, graphite still has an intensity that packs a punch and will give your kitchen a stylish and sophisticated moodiness that feels luxurious and characterful.
Our Bella Richmond shaker style kitchen unit doors look striking in a graphite finish, as it's a style and colour combination that finds the fine line between modern with a traditional twist.
Pro Tip: We love pairing rich graphite doors with brass handles and door knobs.
Warm browns
If you’re looking for a colour with a richness and decadence about it, warm brown is a beautiful choice that works really well in a kitchen space. Pair warm brown kitchen cabinet doors with light cream coloured walls, toffee coloured ceramic tiles and flashes of warm gold accents for a tonal look that really celebrates warmth and luxury.
Alternatively, pair warm brown cabinets with earthy tones, including sage green, terracotta and flashes of sky blue in a space that's filled with herbs and house plants to create a grounded kitchen that is inherently connected with the outside world.
Calming cashmeres
Soft and calming, cashmere tones offer a little more warmth than a crisp white and are a touch gentler than many grey tones, which can really elevate the sense of comfort you feel when spending time in your kitchen. Cashmere is a wonderfully versatile colour, so it’s an excellent option regardless of whether you prefer more traditional or contemporary style kitchen unit doors.
Our Jayline Handleless doors have a beautifully sleek look that will suit even the most contemporary kitchens and are available in two cashmere finishes. Choosing our supergloss finish will really amplify the modernity of your kitchen and expertly bounce light around your space, or you could opt for our supermatt finish for a more subtle look.
Pro Tip: Order colour swatch samples directly from our website to compare different finishes and find your perfect match.
Rich creams
If you’re looking for a colour with similar properties to cashmere that has a slightly more traditional feel, opt for kitchen unit doors in a rich cream tone. You can really lean into the heritage look by choosing doors featuring elegant tongue and groove style detailing, such as our Bella Westbury collection, which has a charming country cottage aesthetic.
