Decorating trends for 2026 are reflecting warm neutrals and calm luxury. Cold greys and bright whites are being replaced by rich creams, earthy tones, and warm neutrals. Soft whites like Benjamin Moore’s “Cloud White” have always been a design staple, but now “Swiss Coffee” and “Edgecomb Gray” are leading the way for our painted custom kitchen colours.
For wood kitchens, rift-cut white oak is now centre stage in flat-panel door styles, creating a more sophisticated Scandinavian vibe. Warmer stains, such as our “Latte” on red oak, have a warm pinkish undertone, perfect for islands with painted kitchen perimeters and Shaker-style doors.
Decorative hardware and faucets have trended away from cold brushed nickel and black to warm champagne gold and brass. Appliances like the GE “Café” line have handles that can match the colour scheme, creating the feeling we at Kitchen Design Plus like to call “Affordable Luxury.”
