For most rooms in the home, neutral decor gets a bad rap for being “boring.” While I definitely believe neutral design can be anything but boring, the kitchen is one area where neutral decor is more widely appreciated.
Neutral kitchens have an innate sense of elegance about them that is timeless. They don’t get caught up as easily in trends and serve as a beautiful backdrop for colorful accents you can move in and out at will, such as bouquets of flowers. A neutral kitchen also looks great throughout any season, so holiday decor is easy to incorporate for entertaining.
There are so many creative and stylish ways to interpret a neutral kitchen, especially with the myriad of textures and patterns available in this space. Wood, stone and metallic surfaces are just a few of my favorites to work with. You can capture any style in a neutral kitchen with some imagination.
Here are 10 gorgeous neutral kitchen ideas that show the versatility and style possible with this palette.
