Modern kitchen showcasing 2025 cabinet color trends

As we move into 2025, kitchen design is taking a bold yet balanced turn. Homeowners and contractors alike are embracing a mix of timeless tones and modern hues to create kitchens that feel both fresh and functional. Whether you're planning a full renovation or just updating your cabinetry, staying on top of current color trends can help your space feel ahead of the curve.

Here’s a look at the top kitchen cabinet color trends sweeping across the USA in 2025.

1. Warm Whites Are Back—But Better

Forget stark white. In 2025, we’re seeing a shift toward warm, creamy whites that add softness and depth. These hues pair beautifully with wood accents, gold hardware, and natural stone countertops, creating a cozy yet elevated feel.

One standout in this category is JSI’s Trenton Ivory—a soft, warm white that blends classic appeal with modern charm. It’s perfect for creating a welcoming, airy kitchen without feeling sterile.

Best for: Transitional kitchens, farmhouse styles, and open-concept spaces.

2. Earthy Greens and Nature-Inspired Tones

Muted sage, olive, and forest green tones are dominating Pinterest boards and designer showrooms alike. These earthy hues reflect a growing desire to bring the outdoors in—and they play beautifully with wood flooring and brass accents.

Two of our most popular options are JSI’s Augusta and JSI’s Sage, offering elegant variations on this green trend. Augusta brings richness and depth, while Sage leans more muted and organic.

Style Tip: Use green cabinets as an island feature or base cabinet pop against neutral uppers.

3. Deep Charcoal and Soft Black

Dark, dramatic kitchens aren’t going anywhere. In fact, charcoal gray and soft black cabinets are getting more love in 2025. These moody hues offer sophistication and a modern edge without feeling too heavy—especially when balanced with light countertops or backsplashes.

Looking for a bold yet refined option? JSI’s Charcoal finish offers that deep, rich tone that anchors a space while keeping it sleek and contemporary.

Perfect Pairings: Matte black fixtures, marble-look quartz, and minimalist hardware.

4. Warm Taupes and Mushroom Grays

If you’re not quite ready for bold color but want something beyond white or gray, mushroom tones are the sweet spot. These taupe-gray blends are versatile, timeless, and ideal for both contemporary and classic kitchens.

We love JSI’s Essex Truffle—a beautiful, warm neutral that works with a wide range of styles and finishes. It’s subtle yet distinctive, making it a go-to for a timeless look.

Why we love it: They’re neutral enough to match anything but still feel current and intentional.

5. Two-Tone Cabinetry Is Evolving

2025’s take on two-tone is less contrast-heavy and more about tone-on-tone layering. Think creamy uppers with soft beige lowers, or dark green bases with pale sage uppers. It’s a sophisticated way to add interest without overwhelming your space.

Experiment with pairings like Trenton Ivory and Sage, or Charcoal and Essex Truffle for a designer look that’s still totally livable.

Bonus Trend: Natural Wood Accents

While painted cabinets dominate, natural wood is making a comeback—often as a feature piece like an island, open shelving, or range hood surround. It adds warmth, texture, and that lived-in luxury feel.
