Choosing paint colors is one of the most exciting—and most important—decisions when building a new construction home. The right palette sets the tone for the entire house, creating a look that feels cohesive, timeless, and welcoming from the moment you walk in.
This new construction home offers beautiful paint color ideas for walls and cabinets, thoughtfully selected to work together throughout the entire house. Most of the walls are painted in a classic, go-to white—Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace OC-65—a clean and versatile foundation that allows architectural details, cabinetry, and lighting to truly stand out.
What makes this home especially inspiring for anyone planning on building a new home in 2026 is how intentional the color palette feels. From soft greige kitchen cabinets in Sherwin Williams Heron Plume, to rich, moody hues used on bathroom vanities, offices, and accent spaces, every paint color complements the next without feeling repetitive or boring.
Throughout this post, you’ll find whole-home paint color inspiration, including:
– Kitchen cabinet paint colors
– Bathroom cabinet paint color inspiration
– White oak cabinet and staircase stain ideas
– Mudroom, laundry room, office, and bedroom paint colors
If you’re building a new home this year, this palette is easy to reference, save, and recreate—proof that a cohesive color scheme can still feel layered, warm, and personal.
This home was built by M House Development, a builder whose work I always enjoy sharing. At the end of this post, you’ll find links to their latest home tours featured on Home Bunch.
