Palette Pleasers

Neutrals are, well, neutral—they blend in with everything. But some design enthusiasts prefer to stand out. “Our clients’ appetite for color has increased in the last year as they look to embrace their personal inspiration and preferences versus planning for resale,” says designer Emilie Munroe of Studio Munroe. Striking and chic, colorful cabinetry can do the heavy lifting in a renovation, setting a tone and making the space look carefully considered and beautifully finished. Play up the mood by matching cabinets to the window trim, island, and appliances. And remember, a colorful kitchen is vivid and versatile. Should you decide to switch up your space, all you need is a fresh coat of paint
