Introduction: A New Year, A New Kitchen
As we move deeper into 2025, more UK homeowners than ever are investing in refreshing their kitchens — not by ripping them out, but by professionally spraying their existing cabinets.
Why? Because spraying your kitchen cabinets gives you a completely new look at a fraction of the cost of replacement, with stunning, durable results. And when paired with the right on-trend colour, it can make your entire home feel updated, stylish, and more valuable.
At JJ Painting Services, we specialise in kitchen cabinet spraying, helping homeowners across the UK achieve a showroom-quality kitchen transformation in just days. We’ve helped hundreds of clients choose colours that perfectly suit their style, lighting, and resale goals.
Here’s your in-depth guide to the biggest kitchen cabinet colour trends of 2025, along with expert tips on making them work beautifully in your own space.
1️⃣ Why Colour Trends Matter — Even in Kitchens
The colour of your kitchen cabinets does more than just set the tone of one room. Because the kitchen is often open-plan or semi-open in modern homes, it influences the feel of your entire living area.
- On-trend colours make your home feel fresh and current.
- Certain shades can make small kitchens appear larger, or bring warmth to stark modern spaces.
- And if you’re selling, a modern kitchen palette can dramatically boost buyer interest.
Cabinet spraying allows you to embrace the latest looks without the hassle or waste of replacing perfectly good cabinetry. It’s a sustainable, affordable, and high-impact upgrade.
2️⃣ The Top Kitchen Cabinet Colours for 2025
Based on hundreds of UK projects we’ve completed recently — plus insights from interior designers, property developers, and global paint brands — here’s what’s dominating kitchen trends this year.
🕊️ 1. Warm Neutrals: The New Classic
Forget the stark, cold greys of the past decade. In 2025, homeowners are shifting toward warm taupes, mushroom greys, and sandy beiges that feel cosy and sophisticated.
These shades:
- Pair beautifully with both traditional shaker cabinets and sleek modern designs.
- Work with almost any worktop — from classic wood to marble-look quartz.
- Look stunning under both natural and artificial lighting.
They’re also incredibly buyer-friendly if you plan to sell, offering a contemporary but universally appealing look.
🌿 2. Earthy Greens: Bringing the Outside In
From sage to deep olive, greens continue to gain popularity as homeowners look to create calming, nature-inspired kitchens.
Why greens work so well:
- They blend effortlessly with natural wood accents, rattan lighting, or stone floors.
- Darker greens like forest or eucalyptus create a dramatic, boutique-hotel feel.
- Lighter tones like pistachio or sage make small kitchens feel airy yet warm.
At JJ Painting Services, we often pair these greens with brushed brass or matte black handles for a truly on-trend finish.
⚓ 3. Deep Blues & Charcoals: Moody Luxury
If you want your kitchen to feel luxurious, navy, inky blue, and charcoal grey are your go-to colours for 2025.
These shades:
- Make a bold statement, especially on lower cabinets or kitchen islands.
- Look incredible with white or light stone worktops.
- Add depth and character, turning your kitchen into a real showpiece.
To keep things balanced, many of our clients opt for a two-tone scheme: dark on the base cabinets, soft neutrals or whites up top.
🧊 4. Soft Coastal Blues: Airy & Timeless
For homes that get lots of natural light, we’re seeing a surge in powder blue, sea glass, and barely-there aquas.
These shades are perfect if you want your kitchen to feel calm, breezy, and timeless — like a summer getaway all year round.
🥛 5. Creamy, Warm Whites: Never Out of Style
Still the most requested overall, but with a 2025 twist. Instead of cool, clinical whites, homeowners are favouring warm, milky whites or slightly creamy tones that feel inviting and classic.
Perfect for:
- Making small kitchens look larger.
- Reflecting natural light in darker UK homes.
- Acting as a subtle backdrop that lets tiles, worktops, or colourful appliances shine.
3️⃣ Why Spraying is the Best Way to Embrace New Colour Trends
You might be tempted to go the DIY brush or roller route to try one of these beautiful new shades. But cabinet spraying by professionals offers massive advantages:
✅ Factory-perfect finish: No brush strokes, streaks, or roller lines — just smooth, consistent colour.
✅ Durability: We use specialist kitchen cabinet coatings that withstand cleaning, heat, and daily knocks.
✅ Quick turnaround: Most kitchens are fully transformed in 2–3 days, with minimal disruption to your home.
✅ Custom-matched shades: Want the exact paint colour from your favourite Instagram inspiration? We can replicate it precisely.
At JJ Painting Services, we handle everything — from removing and spraying doors off-site if needed, to carefully masking your kitchen, ensuring your home is left spotless.
4️⃣ How to Choose the Right Trend for Your Home
With so many beautiful options, how do you decide? Here’s what we recommend:
✅ 1. Assess Your Natural Light
- If your kitchen is north-facing or darker, lean toward warm neutrals, creamy whites, or sage greens to brighten it up.
- In a sun-filled space, you can safely try moodier hues like navy or charcoal.
✅ 2. Thnk About Existing Fixtures
- Look at your worktops, backsplash, and flooring. For example, deep blues or charcoals look amazing against white marble-look counters, while warm taupes work well with wooden floors.
✅ 3. Consider Your Long-Term Plans
- If you plan to sell soon, neutrals like warm greys, beiges, or creams generally appeal to more buyers.
- If this is your forever home, you can afford to go bold with deep greens or dramatic two-tone looks.
✅ 4. Trust the Experts
We offer free colour consultations, bringing large sample boards and helping you see how different shades perform under your kitchen’s specific lighting.
5️⃣ 2025 Bonus Trend: Two-Tone Cabinets
Homeowners in the UK are increasingly asking us for two-tone kitchens — for example:
- Deep navy on the lower cabinets, soft dove grey up top.
- Charcoal base units with warm cream wall units.
- Even sage green on an island paired with warm white perimeter cabinets.
This look adds custom, high-end appeal to any kitchen — all while keeping things balanced and bright.
