Transform your kitchen into a cozy, functional haven with Bramble & Thyme's essential collection of timeless basics.
There’s something about spring that makes us want to refresh our spaces, out with the dark and moody, in with the soft and airy. If you’re craving a little home update but don’t want to commit to a full remodel, a cabinet color refresh might be just what you need.
This season, we’re seeing a shift toward warm, inviting hues that feel fresh but still timeless. Think muted greens, soft pastels, and warm neutrals tones that bring a little personality without overpowering your space. Whether it’s your kitchen, laundry room, or home office, a new cabinet color can instantly brighten things up. Here’s what we’re loving right now:
Muted Greens: Bringing the Outdoors In
Greens inspired by nature—think sage, moss, and eucalyptus—are effortlessly chic and calming. They add just the right amount of color while still feeling neutral. We’re loving our new KCD cabinet door in a stunning soft green , perfect for a fresh kitchen update. Where to use it: Kitchens and pantries. Pair it with brass hardware for an elegant, earthy look.
"Spring is proof that beauty blooms after the longest seasons, just like a well-designed home."
Soft Pastels: The Breath of Fresh Air
Pale blues, mint greens, and blush pinks are having a moment, and we’re here for it. These soft shades create an airy, serene feel, perfect for spaces that need a little lightness. Where to use it: Laundry rooms and home offices. Imagine a mint green laundry space, suddenly, doing the wash feels a little less like a chore.
Warm Yellows: Hello, Sunshine!
For those who love a little warmth, soft yellows are making a comeback. These golden hues feel cheerful and inviting, making them perfect for a playful yet sophisticated space. Where to use it: Kid’s playrooms and breakfast nooks. Pair with natural wood tones to keep the look grounded and classic.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which cabinet style is right for my space?
It all comes down to your home's overall aesthetic and how you use your space. If you love a timeless look, Shaker cabinets are always a solid choice. For something more modern, flat-panel or slab-front cabinets create a sleek vibe. If you're drawn to character and detail, inset or beaded designs add a beautiful custom touch.
How long does a cabinet install take?
It depends on the scope of the project! Stock cabinets can be installed in a few days, while custom cabinetry (with design, fabrication, and installation) can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. But trust us, it’s worth the wait for something tailored perfectly to your home!
Can I mix different cabinet colors in the same space?
Absolutely! A two-tone cabinet look is a great way to add contrast and dimension. A common approach is keeping upper cabinets light (white, cream, or soft gray) and going darker or bolder on the lower cabinets or island (deep green, navy, or rich wood tones).
What’s the best way to keep cabinets looking new?
Regular dusting and wiping down with a damp microfiber cloth do wonders. For deeper cleaning, a mild dish soap and water solution works well—just avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the finish. Also, using cabinet hardware (handles or knobs) helps prevent oils from your hands from wearing down painted finishes over time.
