What could be more appropriate for 2024 than a pale cream or beige color scheme? At a time when our well-being and health seem more important than ever, we want to symbolize serenity, tranquility, and tranquility. It's only natural that you want to surround yourself with the colors you want.
Interior designers and decorators have also noticed this, recognizing the power of decorating with neutrals and introducing it into their kitchen color ideas in a variety of smart and sophisticated ways.
In actress Olivia Munn's neutral kitchen, a subtle cream kitchen cabinet color scheme takes center stage in this modern space. Classic, calming and synonymous with nature, cream is a peace-keeping shade.
The power of a beige color palette to add warmth and elegance to your kitchen should not be underestimated. Decorating in neutral colors allows you to create a seamless sense of tranquility in your home.
But finding the ideal neutral isn't as easy as it sounds. Pure white can be too bright, but if you try to warm it up, it can stay in a gray area. Olivia Munn's Magnolia color scheme is a beautiful neutral.
“For a quiet, understated look, stick to pale hues like soft sandstone and chalky off-whites when designing your kitchen,” says Crown color consultant Judy Smith.
Interior designer James Thurstan Waterworth agrees. “I'm drawn to natural palettes and materials because, for me, they can bring a kind of timelessness and durability to a design.”

Follow Olivia Munn's style and pair neutral cabinets with dark tones at the base. Cocoon's amazingly versatile brown is becoming especially popular, and looks great when combined with magnolia and sand tones. Offering a myriad of warm shades that blend harmoniously together, this calming color palette is beloved by designers for its ability to create relaxing, stable spaces with lasting appeal.
“For me, neutral colors like cream, beige, and sand are the base colors for cabinets,” says Henriette von Stockhausen, creative director at VSP Interiors. “It's important to remember that sometimes classic interiors are just the ticket: muted colors, gentle color schemes, traditional furniture. No clashing patterns or big pops of color, just comfortable and relaxing.” It's a quiet space.”
