Fall into Style: Kitchen Cabinet Color Trends for 2025
As the heat of the North Florida summer begins to wane, our thoughts turn to cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice, and, for us at Viva la Brush, the rich, inviting colors that will define kitchen design for Fall 2025. This season is all about bringing depth, warmth, and a touch of sophistication to the heart of your home. We're moving away from the all-white kitchen and embracing a more personal, curated palette. Here’s a look at the colors from Sherwin-Williams that we expect to be a big hit, what hardware to pair them with, and how to make them work in your home.
The New Neutrals: Warmth with a Modern Edge
Cool grays and stark whites are taking a back seat to warmer, more complex neutrals. These colors create a calming and welcoming atmosphere that feels both modern and timeless.
Sherwin-Williams Mushroom (SW 9587): This is a fantastic, versatile color that bridges the gap between beige and gray. It's grounded and organic, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional gray.

Hardware Pairing: For a sleek, contemporary look, pair Mushroom with matte black pulls. To add a touch of warmth and elegance, opt for brushed gold or antique bronze hardware.
How to Use in Your Home:
With a Cool Palette: Mushroom is perfect for introducing a hint of warmth into a cool-toned home. The gray undertones will still feel harmonious with cool wall colors and countertops, while the subtle brown will add a layer of comforting depth.
With a Warm Palette: This color will blend seamlessly with existing warm tones, creating a cohesive and inviting look. It's a great base for a warm-toned kitchen, allowing you to layer in different textures and materials.
Sherwin-Williams Tony Taupe (SW 7038): Deeper than a light gray but not quite brown, this hue is a versatile foundation for any kitchen. It brings a refined and polished feel, perfect for creating a luxurious space.

Hardware Pairing: Polished nickel or chrome hardware can provide a crisp, modern contrast. For a softer, more classic look, go with simple brass knobs and cup pulls.
How to Use in Your Home:
With a Cool Palette: Tony Taupe can serve as a beautiful anchor in a cool-toned space. Its warmth is subtle enough that it won't clash with cool grays or blues, but it will add a rich, calming feel.
With a Warm Palette: This color will elevate an already warm home by adding depth and complexity. It works beautifully with natural wood tones and earthy countertops.
Rich Statement Hues: Bold Yet Beautiful
For those looking to make a statement, Fall 2025 is bringing back bold colors, but with a focus on shades that are both eye-catching and easy to live with.
Sherwin-Williams Mauve Finery (SW 6282): A beautiful and trendy alternative to traditional bolder colors, Mauve Finery is a sophisticated and soft shade that blends pink and purple tones with gray undertones. It offers an elegant and refined look that is both bold and inherently pretty.

Hardware Pairing: Satin gold, brushed brass, or antique brass hardware will beautifully complement the warm and sophisticated nature of Mauve Finery. For a more modern and clean aesthetic, consider polished nickel.
How to Use in Your Home:
With a Cool Palette: Mauve Finery can introduce a touch of sophisticated warmth and a unique pop of color to a cool-toned kitchen. Pair it with cool gray or white countertops and silver or even black accents for a balanced and stylish look.
With a Warm Palette: This color will add a layer of rich complexity to warm tones without being overwhelming. It pairs wonderfully with warm neutral countertops and brass or gold accents for a luxurious and inviting space.
Sherwin-Williams Chinchilla (SW 0078): An unexpected but elegant color that offers a unique alternative to classic blues or greens. This color is rich and complex, with an air of refined sophistication.

Hardware Pairing: Brushed brass hardware will bring out the warmer undertones of the plum, creating a rich and luxurious feel. For a more subtle look, matte black hardware will provide a sophisticated contrast.
How to Use in Your Home:
