The kitchen has become more than a place to prepare meals—it is where families gather, conversations unfold and everyday moments happen. As color drenching continues to be one of 2026's biggest home design trends, the Crock-Pot® Brand x Valspar collaboration brings approachable inspiration into the kitchen.
Each of the six new Crock-Pot Brand Design Series slow cooker colorways is intentionally paired with a hero Valspar paint shade and three complementary colors designed to work together across walls, cabinetry, trim and accents. The result is an approachable color blueprint helping consumers envision how the color they love on the countertop can inspire the broader kitchen.
"The kitchen has evolved into an extension of our living space, often acting as a space for gathering and entertaining rather than simply preparing meals," said Sue Kim, Director of Color Marketing at Valspar. "The expressive palettes of the collection paired with the Crock-Pot® Brand Design Series slow cookers create a welcoming environment that feels cohesive and joyful for both everyday rituals and special occasions."
At the heart of the collaboration is the Crock-Pot® Brand Design Series, the brand's latest collection of slow cookers blending elevated craftsmanship with a modern-vintage aesthetic. Available in six thoughtfully curated colorways, the collection brings together everyday functionality and countertop-worthy design, giving consumers a natural starting point for building a kitchen which reflects their personal style.
"With the Crock-Pot® Brand Design Series, we wanted to reimagine what a slow cooker can look like in today's kitchen—not only a hardworking appliance, but a beautifully designed piece that feels at home on the countertop," said Mallory Fuller-Guzman, Sr. Manager, Design, Color, Material + Finish at Newell Brands. "Drawing on our consumer and trend insights, our Color, Material + Finish team developed a contemporary color palette designed to complement today's interiors. Now, our partnership with Valspar is helping extend and validate that established color story within the broader home environment, inspiring consumers to create spaces that feel personal and reflective of the way they live."
For consumers looking for a starting point, the Crock-Pot® Brand x Valspar Color-Drenched Kitchen Collection makes coordinating color feel more approachable: choose the Crock-Pot® Brand Design Series slow cooker colorway you love, then explore the corresponding Valspar palette curated to complement it.
