A major trend in the kitchen this year is incorporating a mushroom cabinet color into the design. While it is “on trend”, mushroom-colored cabinets have been a popular color for kitchen cabinets for years.

It is a fantastic option for a timeless kitchen design with neutral colors.

I am helping my parents design their kitchen renovation (sometime in the future) and am heavily considering mushroom-colored cabinets.

I am pinning lots of kitchen inspiration and the kitchens below are a few of my favorites!

In my opinion, Jean Stoffer is one of the best kitchen designers around! Along with designing kitchens, she also sells cabinetry in custom colors.

The cabinets are Kensington Taupe and it is the perfect warm neutral for a kitchen.

The black countertops, brass hardware and lights, and vertical shiplap walls blend seamlessly together to create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere to spend time with friends and family.

If mushroom-colored cabinets are good enough for Martha Stewart’s kitchen, they are good enough for me!

This kitchen has a timeless look with its vintage-style milk glass pendants, chrome hardware, and greenish gray walls. The stainless steel appliances and light gray countertops give this kitchen a modern touch.

Stephanie Sabbe is another one of my favorite designers these days this kitchen is one of my favorite designs.

The mushroom cabinet color falls on the lighter end of the spectrum and adds just the right amount of warmth to this bright and airy kitchen.

This kitchen includes classic design elements that would have been incorporated in kitchens 100+ years ago.

This kitchen incorporates natural elements like copper pots, unlacquered brass, and glass jars that make it feel like this kitchen has been around for decades without feeling dated.

All of the inspiring kitchen designs I have shared are from incredible designers whose work has a higher price tag and is totally worth it!

However, this mushroom cabinet color can be incorporated into budget-friendly makeovers as well. For $200, I transformed my brother’s kitchen by painting the cabinets by painting their existing cabinets in this mushroom paint color.

This cabinet update modernized the kitchen while also feeling true to the 1920s era of the home.

I have yet to come across a deVOL kitchen I did not love. Their kitchens have that English country vibe where it never feels too fussy.

The vent holes in the upper cupboard are quintessentially English and one of my favorite design details in a kitchen.

The cupboards below are actually painted in a custom deVOL paint color named “Mushroom”. This kitchen has a bit of a utilitarian feel with the stainless steel island and open shelving for jarred ingredients.

Another stunning kitchen design that bring the outdoors in with the large windows overlooking mature trees.

The mushroom-colored cabinets are adorned with different styles of unlacquered brass hardware. The reclaimed wood on the vent hood creates a relaxed atmosphere within the kitchen. The beadboard and natural earth tones add a subtle hint of the cottage and English style.

Erin is one of my favorite DIY bloggers to follow. Her designs always look high end but cost less with her great DIY projects. The English-inspired kitchen is beautiful with mushroom-colored cabinets around the perimeter and a dark gray/black paint color for the island.


While I love a bold kitchen, these inspiring kitchens are a great reminder that neutral kitchen cabinets are anything but boring!

There are many variations of the mushroom paint color, but it is essentially a soft, warm brown with lots of gray undertones. It is also often called taupe or greige.

Stone countertops like marble, soapstone, or granite; natural wood tones, matte black accents, and raw brass hardware. Natural elements look fabulous with this paint color on kitchen cabinets to create a timeless and classic design.

A neutral, white wall looks great against the mushroom cabinet color. If you look at all of the inspirational images in this post, they all have white walls. Any muddy color or earth tone will look good with this mushroom color. Here are a few examples:
