32 Blue Kitchen Cabinet Ideas to Inspire a Refresh

Play up the drama by pairing deep blue cabinetry with a blue-and-white patterned backsplash, just as Caren Rideau, founder of The Kitchen Design Group, does here.

Next to classic gray veined marble countertops and backsplash, these smoky blue cabinets look chic and clean. To maintain the aesthetic, House of One chooses a crisp white paint color for the upper walls.

Craft a cozy kitchen with a deep, saturated blue. For a bolder statement, Kelsey McGregor of Kelsey Leigh Design Co. uses the same dark shade for cabinets, walls and trim.

Create contrast and depth by using dark colors on lower cabinets and bright shades up top, just as Unique Kitchens & Baths does here.

Here, designer Lindye Galloway balances bright blues with natural wood tones, then layers in gold accents for an elevated look.

From the marble countertops with gray veining and light gray upper cabinets to the sleek chrome hardware on medium blue cabinets, designer Meredith Owen maintains a cool color palette.

Navy cabinets have become a timeless choice in kitchen design, considering they pair with nearly any home style — from modern to farmhouse or coastal.

Introduce a pop of color by painting just the kitchen island in a vibrant blue shade. To maintain a modern look, MBC Interior Design keeps the rest of the space bright and white.

On top of the pale blue paint color, we're loving how REFORM skips the hardware for a modern Scandinavian look.

Make slate blue cabinets feel sleek with matte black hardware and a geometric backsplash, as ATX Interior Design does in this well-designed setup.

Don't fear bright colors in a small space. This galley kitchen from Shelby Girard, VP, Creative & Design, at Havenly, has an eclectic, but modern look, with aqua cabinets, gold hardware and a patterned runner rug.

Subway tiles are timeless and all, but these black-and-white tiles make a stylish statement (and work well with any shade of blue cabinetry).

Go for the unexpected by layering teal-painted kitchen cabinets with a slab of marble-style backsplash (or better yet, peel-and-stick wallpaper that looks like the real deal).

Since you don't want to overwhelm a small kitchen, keep it dark on the bottom (dark teal, for example) and stark white on top. Dot the shelves with plates, bowls and glassware in complementary blue shades.

Add color to an otherwise all-white kitchen by painting the lower cabinets in a striking sky blue shade. Throw a patterned rug on the floor to tie everything together.

Opt for dark gray-blue kitchen cabinets, if you want a more understated look. Keep the rest of the space light and bright with marble countertops, white shelving and soft gray walls.

Dark colors, like navy, can make any space feel smaller. To trick the eye, pair navy cabinets with a white island, accented with pendant lights and open shelves in the same crisp color.

Lower cabinets in a deep blue offset the bright white cabinetry lining the kitchen. Wicker stools add to the room's cool and airy feel.
