When it comes to designing a kitchen that really stands out, sometimes it’s all about adding the right splash of color. While classic neutral cabinets such as wood, white, gray, and even black will always have a place, there’s something exciting about exploring other options. Today, we’re sharing three house plans with beautiful kitchen designs that break away from the norm with cabinets in unique shades of green and blue. These colors aren’t overly vibrant, but they bring just the right amount of personality to each space. And just for fun, we’ve even included a kitchen featuring the Sherwin-Williams 2024 Color of the Year, along with other shades that we believe will give you a little inspiration to start your own home planning.
3 Kitchen Designs to Inspire Your Color Choice
25429TF – Modern Ranch Barndominium Plan
This Modern Barndominium-style house plan makes the most of every square inch of its generous 2,600+ square feet. The kitchen is one of our favorite features, both open and functional, and positioned right at the heart of the home. It’s connected to the dining room and offers great views into the living room, making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. With large windows letting in plenty of natural light, the space feels bright and airy.
For a touch of inspiration, consider using Sherwin-Williams 2024 Color of the Year, SW 6239 Upward. Sherwin Williams describes this color as a soft denim blue with subtle gray undertones creates a serene atmosphere that feels both soothing and sophisticated.

For a touch of color, the cabinets are painted in a shade inspired by Sherwin-Williams 6206 Oyster Bay.

It’s a soothing choice that adds a calming touch to the space, creating a serene and inviting place for the family to connect.

The kitchen island is perfectly positioned to face the dining room and great room, allowing the host to easily connect with guests while cooking.
What really makes this kitchen shine is the combination of classic white and wood cabinets, accented by a striking earthy green in the serving bar. This mix of finishes creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The earthy green is reminiscent of Sherwin-Williams 2851 Sage Green Light, a soft herbal green that introduces a refreshing, natural touch.
