Mid-Year Home Refresh: Top Cabinet Color Trends for Summer 2025

Top Cabinet Paint Colors for Summer 2025

1. Sage Green

Recommended Shade: Sherwin-Williams Clary Sage
Soft and timeless, sage green has become a go-to for homeowners who want a soothing and organic palette. It pairs beautifully with brass or matte black hardware, butcher block countertops, and white tile. Great for both kitchens and bathrooms.

2. Warm Taupe

Recommended Shade: Benjamin Moore Smokey Taupe
Earthy, cozy, and modern all at once, this versatile neutral brings instant warmth to a space. Use it on lower cabinets with cream uppers for a balanced two-tone look, or go full monochrome with luxe touches like gold hardware and marble backsplashes.

3. Charcoal Gray

Recommended Shade: Fine Paints of Europe Anthracite
Looking for drama? Charcoal gray delivers bold elegance without going full black. It’s sophisticated, especially when paired with white quartz countertops, metallic accents, or moody lighting. A popular pick for modern kitchens and statement bathroom vanities.

Why Refinish Instead of Replace?

A full cabinet replacement can be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive. Cabinet refinishing offers a smarter solution that saves money while still delivering a stunning result.

  • Save thousands over the cost of new cabinetry

  • Eco-friendly choice—less waste, less disruption

  • Quick turnaround—often done in days, not weeks

  • Fully customizable color and finish options

Our Refinishing Process

We treat your cabinets with the same care and precision we would our own. Our factory-grade refinishing process ensures long-lasting, professional results:

  1. Deep Clean + Degloss
    We remove built-up grease, grime, and residue to prep your cabinets for optimal paint adhesion.

  2. Sand + Prime
    Sanding ensures a smooth base, and our high-performance primer blocks stains and seals the surface.

  3. Spray Finish
    Unlike brush painting, our spray application gives your cabinets a flawless, factory-like finish that’s durable and beautiful.

Design Tip: Mix & Match

Don’t be afraid to experiment with two-tone cabinets—use a bold color on the lower cabinets and a soft neutral above to create visual interest. Add updated hardware, lighting, or open shelving for a full-on refresh without major construction.
