When I asked which new color palettes we should expect to see refreshing our kitchens in 2025, interior designer, Lisa Staton, said, without hesitation: "Dusty pink is appearing as a new neutral. It's warm, inviting, and all-around lovely."

Pink may not be the first color you think of for a neutral, but dusty pink’s muted undertones set it apart. Unlike hot flamingo pinks or the bright magentas of Barbie Summer, dusty pink offers an earthy, subdued tone that makes it highly versatile. Whether you love a bit of color and maximalism or gravitate towards a kitchen that gleams with warm minimalism, dusty pink is one of the best colors to blend harmoniously into various design styles, acting more as a soft backdrop, rather than a bold statement.
