Time to check out some more trends of 2013. Some of the hottest trends right now are getting cooked up in our kitchens, where color is a big deal. In some cases, it’s the absence of color, with gray cabinetry and walls moving to the forefront of kitchen design. In other cases, kitchens are taking on a rainbow of hues with bright pops of color. Colorful cabinetry is becoming more and more common, but most of us are starting small and painting our islands. And one of the most amazing color trends I discovered? Painted refrigerators. We don’t want to be limited by manufacture’s boring color choices of black, white, and stainless steel, so creative DIYers are pulling out the paint and getting their appliances in shades of their choice.

So, what do you think? Are you more of a fan of color-less kitchens (gray and white) or color-ful kitchens (bright pops of color)? If you could pick one, which of these trends would you be willing to try in your own kitchen?

I’m ready to redo my oak cabinets and beige kitchen/living room in white and grey. I just haven’t decided if I want white cabinets or grey cabinets. I’m kind of leaning toward grey since I’ve got two young kids.
Hi, Heather. I too have oak cabinets. I picked gray and painted them. Now I’m working on all new white trim and new hardwood. I’m also painting all the doors white. I’m on a gray and white kick too. Good luck. Send me some pics if you redo anything. I’d love to see them.
