What do sage green, baby blue, and mustard yellow all have in common? They’ve been the trendiest kitchen cabinet shades for the past couple of years.
But not everyone is a fan. After surveying 1,000 renovators, MoneyWise found that nearly half of them, 41 percent to be exact, regret painting their cupboards a colorful hue or refinishing their original boxes. However, we can’t get enough of making a statement in the kitchen, whether it’s swathing standard IKEA frames in a poppy coat of fuchsia or mixing plywood and pastels. Ahead, we spotlight a few ideas that will change your mind about this so-called mistake.
Add Metallic Accents

From the lowest drawers all the way up to the skylight, a deep teal swaths everything in sight. The trick with an allover shade like this is to avoid distracting hardware and go with sleek integrated pulls.
