Maude Apatow's unique kitchen cabinet color reinvents this classic shade that will never go out of style
The actress's unusual kitchen cabinet color is simultaneously classic – and a nod to one of 2024's biggest design trends
2023 may have been The Year of the Girl, but its aesthetics have carried over into 2024. Influences like Barbie and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour brought feminine imagery to the forefront, and their popularity continues to grow. In Maude Apatow's kitchen, the Year of the Girl is neverending.
The Euphoria actress's West Village kitchen revolves around marble countertops and light pink kitchen cabinets. It's chic and stylish and blends timeless style with contemporary trends.
According to experts, Maude's use of interior design trends with classic motifs is a winning combination. First, it relies on the everlasting appeal of the color pink. NYC-based interior designer Kathy Kuo says, 'About eight years ago, it was #MillennialPink. Now it's #BarbieCore and Pantone's Peach Fuzz—there will always be a shade of pink du jour, especially among vibrant young trendsetters like Maude Apatow.'

Interior designer Soledad Alzaga adds, 'In Maude Apatow's space, the blend of soft pink cabinets with white and gray marble kitchen backsplash and countertops offers a visually striking and balanced aesthetic. The marble adds luxury, while the soft, warm pink cabinets add playfulness and fun contrast. This combination creates a modern and sophisticated kitchen design.'
San Francisco-based Interior designer Soledad Alzaga has worked on designs projects in San Francisco, Sonoma, Atherton, New York, Martha's Vineyard, Los Angeles, Mexico and Argentina.
Kathy continues: 'What I love about this sweet pink kitchen is that the shade of pink falls somewhere in between trendy Peach Fuzz and classic ballet pink, and the addition of the striking veined marble backsplash makes the whole space feel sophisticated and luxe, rather that gimmicky or childish.'
If you love Maude's kitchen, you're in luck. Experts slate it as a popular 2024 kitchen color trend. Soledad says, 'This combination will likely gain popularity as people embrace color, specifically pinks, in their home decor this year. The timeless marble allows for easy updates in the future, as it complements various cabinet colors in case you grow tired of pink.'
