L’Atelier Paris, a French appliance and metal cabinetry manufacturer, recently expanded its color options with the addition of 15 limited edition bright hues, continuing a trend to bring more color and personal touches to kitchen design in the U.S.

The company says its latest collection aims to infuse the kitchen with positivity, joy, and inspiration. It’s based on the fashion-forward life of Parisians and a cultural saying, joie de vivre, which means exuberant enjoyment of life.

“We are thrilled to be launching a new and refreshing color palette,” says Maria Moraes, co-founder and Creative Director for L’Atelier Paris Haute Design. “For this collection, we created 15 exclusive colors that beautifully complement our brand’s exceptional craftsmanship, Parisian-inspired designs, and cutting-edge technology in our custom ranges and cabinetry.”

French kitchen design often balances between old and new with antique accents against modern designs, according to L'Atelier Paris. French countryside design features elements that tie into current design trends in America, such as an increase of interest in natural and organic design. The company says a French kitchen should include natural materials as a nod to the countryside.

An increasing number of homeowners want to add a personal touch to their home design, according to John Burns Real Estate Consulting. Americans are spending even more time in the kitchen as a result of the pandemic shifting lifestyles, making it an ideal zone to infuse with some personality. 

Colorful appliances are one way to satisfy such demand. Stainless steel will remain popular for appliances, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s (NKBA) 2021 Design Trends Report, but homeowners and designers are getting more creative with some cabinetry. Kitchen islands are the spots where designers see more adventurous choices, such as colored cabinets and different counter materials, says the NKBA report.
