If you’re looking for inspiration for your kitchen remodel, a bold paint color on the cabinetry can help you create a space that you’ll absolutely love. Something like “Gulfstream” by Sherwin Williams or “Vintage Teal” by Behr can transform the feel of your kitchen, setting the stage for the rest of the house.
Though the process of picking just the right color can be intimidating, with a bit of inspiration and pre-planning, you can achieve a home-run kitchen renovation without a design team or contractor. The list below contains the most inspiring ideas for ridding yourself of a boring, run-of-the-mill kitchen and instead embracing a fun and exciting house.
Muted Teal Kitchen Cabinets Paired With Gray Countertops and Light Wood Elements
This kitchen consists of a peaceful blend of teal, gray, white, and light wood. A perfect balance between sophisticated style and casual life, this room sets the tone for the rest of the house and creates a relaxed environment for guests to feel welcome.
The herringbone floor pattern leads the eye into the cabinets, which feature textured doors on the upper level and an appealing smooth surface with raised handles on the lower. The gray stone countertop pairs well here, providing a solid visual anchor to this kitchen.

Marble Countertops, Tan Walls, and Dark Flooring With Teal Kitchen Cabinetry
A very similar color palette to the previous example, this kitchen also incorporates marble countertops and a tile backsplash that reaches just above the top of the cabinets. The large kitchen island provides both additional counter space and extra seating, while the brass faucet pairs well with the cabinet hardware.
A high ceiling allows for a graceful chandelier to be added, with a range of sizes that will fit the room without being overbearing. Glass cabinet doors or fully open cabinets can add a touch of luxury and elegance to the kitchen as well.

A Fully Teal Kitchen With Matching Cabinets, Countertops, and Backsplash
This dark teal kitchen is a bold design that truly showcases the beauty of this paint color. By using the same shade for the cabinets, countertops, and backsplash, you can create a dramatic look that’s unique to your kitchen.
White walls are the ideal backdrop for these types of interiors, supporting the color without distracting from it. As we’ve seen, light-toned natural wood accessories and brass finishes are excellent complements to teal, and so is stainless steel — all of which are featured here.

A Subdued Teal Shade Paired With Natural Wood Flooring and White Countertops
Keeping on trend with other teal kitchen examples we’ve seen so far, this kitchen maintains the popular combination of teal cabinets, natural wood flooring, sandy-colored walls, and white accents. Bright, natural lighting fills the kitchen with a cheerful and welcoming air, making the compact design feel larger.
Pale gold hardware and a stainless steel oven bring subtle dimension into the design. The thin white countertop with a built-in backsplash is a great source of contrast, especially when set against the paint on the wall instead of stretching to the underside of the upper cabinets.

Combine Multiple Shades of Teal and Wood for a Dimensional Kitchen Experience
Wood countertops, a bold black range hood, and a lighter color on the island make this kitchen remodel a one-of-a-kind inspiration.
The wainscoting and trim around the doorway is a pale gray-blue that makes the dark teal pop. Multiple shades of wood and teal mixed with a blend of materials and design aesthetics make for a kitchen full of visual interest that feels lived-in and homey.

Dark Teal Cabinets With a Farmhouse Sink and Rich Brown Walls
This rustic kitchen showcases very dark teal cabinets set against chocolate brown walls. The resulting dramatic and moody environment is offset by the country charm of the farmhouse sink, antique faucet, and decorative plates.
A large window helps to brighten the room, and the overall feel of this kitchen is one of a traditional home from a bygone era. Linens placed throughout the area strategically complete the look.

Dark Flooring and a Vibrant Teal Shade from Floor to Ceiling
To create a seamless, eye-catching kitchen, experiment with using the same paint along the cabinets and countertop, across the backsplash and shelving, and up the walls to the ceiling. You can opt for a lighter shade or different materials for your project, such as substituting a tile backsplash in the same color or trading gold hardware and accents for silver.
The dark floor enhances the intensity of this kitchen and is a great choice for those with children as it is typically easier to keep looking clean.

Painted Wood and Rustic Accessories for a Dark Teal Kitchen Remodel
This dark, rustic, and earthy kitchen gives the appearance of an apothecary and is reminiscent of old fairytales designed to keep children from straying too far into the woods. Textured wood panel cabinets are painted in the same teal tone as the walls, and a deep, nearly black floor adds to the drama.
Antique accessories, such as uniquely shaped glass bottles and copper cookware, pair beautifully with the hanging plants, bare bulb light fixture, and bold painting above the stove. The aged copper appearance of the countertops and backsplash is the perfect finishing touch here, though wood countertops and a farmhouse sink could work as well.

Elegant Gold Tones and a Unique Cabinetry Layout in a Two-Tone Teal Kitchen
Finally, for the last of our teal kitchen ideas, we have a more modern kitchen style with a layout that’s ideal for smaller spaces. Rich wood flooring leads you to deep teal-colored cabinets that are bursting with life.
White marble countertops and walls make this shade of teal pop and create a focal point for the kitchen. Upper cabinets in a very pale off-white color with a blue undertone provide more storage without distracting from the lower level. A subtle tile facade on those cabinet doors is a discreet source of texture, and shiny gold hardware completes the look.
