Kathy Hilton’s kitchen cabinet color scheme will set trends in 2025
American fashion designer, TV personality, and socialite Kathy Hilton is no stranger to style, and the mother of Paris and Nicky Hilton certainly knows a thing or two about curating a designer-worthy home, too. In particular, Kathy’s indigo kitchen cabinet color scheme has caught the attention of color aficionados and experts everywhere.
Designed by Nicole Gordon Studio, Kathy Hilton’s indigo kitchen is a masterclass in color, style, and personality. It is one of the most exceptional uses of this room color we’ve seen in recent years. Many designers champion this color to replace navy blue in 2025.
With a new year comes the opportunity to look to a bright future, and where better to start than by injecting your home with a regal, mood-enhancing color? Conjuring endless skies and infinite seas, indigo blue is the color of the moment – after its initial popularity in the early nineties, this strong color is set to top color trends once again.
Fresh, airy, and imbued with the restorative power of nature, indigo blues have next year been tipped by interior experts as the perfect backdrop to modern living. But what is it about blue kitchens that designers and color forecasters love so much?
Blue regularly tops the list of most popular kitchen color choices, and it’s easy to see why. Despite being on the dark side, indigo blue is a safe choice that works in most kitchens, contemporary or traditional, no matter their size. It’s surprisingly calming and easy to live with too – a must-have in such a busy space that often acts as the heart of the home. Best of all, indigo blue kitchen cabinets look great with everything, from wood and stone to marble and granite.
‘When choosing room color ideas, indigo is a timeless and versatile shade to use in an interior space, says Patrick O’Donnell, Farrow & Ball’s Brand Ambassador. ‘Indigo can create a very regal backdrop for a sophisticated kitchen when teamed with paler delft blue, as seen in Hilton’s kitchen.’
Used for centuries, decorating with blue is enduringly popular, harmonizing with many hues for gloriously diverse results every time. The depth of pigment of darker indigo blues means that they offer an emotional content that can be as nurturing or soothing as any green, particularly when you color drench a room in a dark, velvety blue. For some homeowners, the idea of dark colors might feel foreboding, but for others, it is the dark ‘night’ of a shade that offers serenity in a room scheme.
This historic hue feels very much at home in a contemporary interior, offering a sophisticated backdrop for displaying favorite collected pieces, as well as metallic hardware, such as the ones used in Kathy Hilton’s kitchen.

It is also important to consider what colors go with blue to avoid any costly mistakes. ‘To get the best out of a blue like this, pair it with neutrals to give it a chance to sing. Mixing it with too many other strong or vibrant colors will result in a confused look akin to an accident in a child’s paint box.’ Sarah Davies-Bennion, senior designer, Kate Guinness Design.
Pair it with neutrals such as white and cream for classic calm, or with stronger tones of mustard, olive, sienna and navy for a unique, head-turning scheme. Whether you opt for a subtle hint or go all out, stay on trend this year with a beautiful blue-hued kitchen.
