Hailey Bieber’s minimalist and sophisticated style is once again in the spotlight — this time, inside her home. In her YouTube series What’s In My Kitchen, the model revealed her real kitchen (not a set, as she herself made sure to point out), where the midnight blue cabinets stole the show.

The dark and elegant tone in the kitchen is being hailed by experts from Homes & Gardens as the “new neutral” in interior design for 2026.
According to designer Kasia Kronberger from Studio Bosko, dark blue has earned a permanent place in modern design. “Deep blue has become a new neutral and it’s here to stay, especially in kitchens. It’s a color that adds visual interest without the risk of becoming dated,” she says.
While black is often associated with strict minimalism and gray has become ubiquitous, midnight blue offers the perfect balance between sophistication and personality. Kronberger highlights that the color works equally well in classic styles — such as Shaker cabinets — and in simple, Scandinavian kitchens, delivering “a timeless yet never monotonous visual result.”
Beyond its elegance, midnight blue also fits the cozy atmosphere that autumn and winter call for. The expert recommends pairing it with natural materials such as marble, quartz, brass hardware, and oak floors to create a refined and lasting environment.
“At Studio Bosko, we’ve been designing dark blue kitchens for years, and they never go out of style,” explains Kronberger. “It’s a versatile shade that harmonizes with any type of hardware. I truly see it as the new neutral.”
For those seeking an even bolder touch, the designer suggests incorporating checkered or terracotta floors, along with natural marble countertops and backsplashes, to create visual contrasts that enhance the blue.
With this look, Hailey Bieber reinforces the “New Neutral” trend — a style that blends contemporary sophistication with warmth and is set to dominate interior design projects in 2026.
