The bright white kitchen that has remained the popular choice for many years is being refreshed this year, with homeowners gravitating towards warmer, creamy neutral paint shades, bringing a softness to a kitchen without losing brightness, according to Floor & Decor’s 2026 Design Trends Report. Paint & Decorating Retailer recommends these four toasted neutral white shades for a trendy kitchen.

Benjamin Moore’s Creamy White is a warm white that brings a relaxed and welcoming feel. The shade pairs well with dark greens and muted grey shades.

Frosting Cream from Dunn-Edwards Paints is a bright, warm white that accents well with the neutral brown-greys, like the company’s Limestone. 

Alabaster from Sherwin-Williams is a soft white that offers a warm coziness. The shade pairs with tan and light brown shades and is complemented by black accents in a kitchen.

Behr’s Swiss Coffee is a warm white mimicking a creamy cup of coffee. Complemented by muted light blues and pinks, this color serves as an effective base in a kitchen.
