15 Bold Countertop Color Trends That Make A Statement In Your Kitchen

Upgrading your kitchen is a daunting process. It's hard to know what the current trends are, and which of those will look good in your kitchen for years to come. Unfortunately, renovation isn't cheap. Appliances and countertops are expensive, so it's important to make sure everything works well together before you start buying a bunch of materials. While you're trying to figure out design choices that will work in your space, it doesn't hurt to see if you can match the current trends to keep your kitchen fashionable. 

In 2025, it's expected that bold bright colors, especially on counters, are going to be the newest trend. This applies mostly to natural stone, but there are other ways you can make your kitchen counter bold without shelling out a fortune. In fact, you can choose from several methods, all creating vastly different looks while still having your counters shine. You could go with epoxy, contact paper, paint, natural stone, or even tile and have a beautiful and adventurous kitchen. 

However, you can't just pick some random bright color and call it a day. You have to figure out how to incorporate it into your kitchen and the rest of your home, so it doesn't look garish or out of place. Bold yellow on the countertops and cabinets, pastels, and epoxy chocolate and cream swirls are just a few examples of great ways to allow your kitchen counters to take center stage in your kitchen's design. 

Wood can create a bold and beautiful kitchen counter, as long as you paint or stain it correctly. A pink stain will still showcase the grain of the planks if you're looking for a more natural pop of color, while a base of white paint will create a bolder, more opaque look. There's something about pastel pink that just feels fun and bright, especially when paired with other pastels like the mint green or baby blue. It also works well with Aerial View, a beautiful blue color by Behr listed as one of the colors of 2025. 

Epoxy allows you to blend colors and create patterns you can't find in natural stone, such as this fun and food-forward chocolate and cream countertop. You can get epoxy in any color, allowing you to make bold and personal statements. If you like the idea of using this material, but you're not sure if brown and cream are the best options for you, check out these gorgeous epoxy countertop ideas for every design style. You can do everything from mimicking wood grain to creating a galaxy right in your kitchen.

Terrazzo is bold and bright by design. Bigger chips create a more noticeable pattern, and are therefore bolder, but there are patterns in every size and shape. This specific terrazzo pattern manages to use mostly natural earth tones, like browns, blacks, creams, and off-whites, but in a way that feels a little funky and very daring. You can even find terrazzo laminate, such as Spirito Terrazzo, one of the trending laminate colors in 2025 according to Customcraft Countertops. Laminate has its own benefits, and still gives you the appearance of beautiful terrazzo. 

You've already seen how pink wood can make a kitchen bright and cheery, but you can also create a statement with a fainter shade of pink and mix it with a more neutral color (in this case gray), and then double it by not only adding it to your counters, but your backsplash as well. Even if you're not feeling bold, you can find more subtle versions of the color scheme and use them to make a statement. It's also the matchy-matchy, all-for-one countertop trend for 2025, so you can really make your kitchen feel brand new by embracing both trends.

Green is definitely a trending color for kitchens in 2025. This counter uses rich emerald green swirled with small hints of white to catch the eye and add depth. As you can see from the rest of the photo, you don't have to do your entire kitchen in bold colors to get the effect. Choose one statement piece, and keep the rest in more familiar territory with dark wood colors and cream, also popular options for 2025 according to Martha Stewart. Use this as your main accent and base the rest of your kitchen around it.

If you're looking for a beachy feel in your kitchen, let your counters do the work for you. A mix of gray, white, and ocean blue tones will give you a seaside vibe without being too on the nose. Pair it with woods, other blues, and whites and you'll have the perfect beach kitchen that's also matching the trends, as neutral beiges that remind you of sand on a beach are going to bring a modern take on classic neutral colors. This is a great option for those who plan to go more minimalistic. 

Many trends are leaning towards bold, all-over color, but flecked Formica can provide a more subtle way to achieve the pop of interest you're looking for. From a distance, this material could pass as almost white, but as you get closer, there are hints of blues and tans flecked throughout. Sea glass countertops are a beautiful kitchen solution that's also eco-friendly, making them a wonderful choice for a kitchen, and a trending one. Eco-luxury is the current push in interior design as people try to find beautiful and sustainable materials for their homes. 

Yellow can be a scary color to use, as it can have the effect of making brand new counters look old and stained or transforms a new kitchen into something outdated. But it is a color that is trending right now for homes, as it's one of the bold paint colors of 2025. The key is to embrace it. Bright and bold yellow works beautifully in a kitchen. Pairing it with other pops of primary colors, like the robust red and true blue featured in this image, are a way to make your kitchen bright with a definitive Midcentury modern lean. If you'd like something more sedate, pair it instead with muted dark wood accents. 

Valspar's color of 2025 is Encore, which is a beautiful jewel-tone blue perfect for your kitchen. If you think blue might be a fun color to add to your kitchen, but a bright countertop sounds too adventurous, there are ways to add a touch of color without going too crazy. For example, this stone above throws in swirls of blue mixed around cream, white, tan, and black. To make the color feel more bold, consider finding decor such as curtains, rugs, towels, and utensils in a matching shade. 

Sometimes, mixing several colors together creates a more impressive kitchen than a single bright one. This kitchen island adds a sense of drama without being too bright. The mix of green, teal, cream, and gold almost doubles as a gemstone appearance. Additionally, shades of green and teal are trending in 2025, making it the perfect color for the year. The best part of having so many colors swirled together is that it makes it easy to match, allowing you to not only be bold with your counters, but with your appliances and decorations.

Red is another bold choice coming to kitchen counters in 2025. It has always been a popular color in kitchens, but it's not often put on kitchen counters. Bright red may come across as a bit garish by itself, but when mixed with other colors in epoxy, or closer to a natural stone red shade, it comes across as bold and brilliant. You can easily recreate this pattern in particular with contact paper, which is a great option if you're renting a home, or don't have the money to replace your countertops quite yet.

Tiles are another great way to add a bit of personality to your kitchen. There are so many bright and bold tile patterns to choose from, including this one with black, white, and yellow that not only introduces bold colors, but in a fun shape. According to Regan Billingsley via Martha Stewart, bold patterns in natural colors is the best way to get an amazing and timeless look out of tiles.

Bold doesn't always mean bright. If used correctly, dark colors can also make a statement. Take a look at this granite, known as Desert Dream. It features a beautiful mix of deep black, brown, gray, creams, and tans sure to draw all attention to your kitchen counters. Because of its various shades of brown, it works well with many natural woods, or a contrasting white color in the rest of your kitchen. You could even pair it with black, like the trending titanium granite by MSI, but be careful it doesn't make your space look too dark.

Laminate countertops have gotten a bad reputation over the years for looking cheap and outdated, as well as being somewhat fragile. However, some of the newer versions have managed to change up the game and come back around in popularity, even possibly becoming a hot material to have in 2025. It might not be as popular as natural stone, but it's able to make a bold color statement for cheap in a way most stones never could. One particular laminate from Home Depot is bright and beautiful if you're looking for a burst of orange in your kitchen.

According to MSI, one of the 10 most popular options for granite in a kitchen in 2025 is a stone called Silver Cloud. This granite is interesting because though the colors themselves aren't that bold — as they're essentially the standard creams and grays you find on many countertops — the pattern makes for an eye-catching appearance. It goes to show that pretty much anything can be bold if done right, and it comes down to patterns just as much as colors. This stone has a timeless and modern feel to it at the same time.
