While neutral kitchens have their appeal, there’s something exciting about a kitchen filled with color. Whether it’s bold cabinetry, a vibrant backsplash, or unexpected pops of bright hues, adding color can make the space feel more lively and personal.
To showcase different ways to bring color into the kitchen, I used AI tools like Ideogram and Midjourney to generate 15 colorful kitchen designs.
In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.
Each image comes with the exact prompt used, so you can see how these ideas were created and use them for your own inspiration. If you’re ready to move beyond white and gray, these designs prove that a little color can go a long way.
