Green Kitchens We Love (and How to Design Your Own)

Green is a favorite color for many (myself included!), largely due to its strong connection to nature. The color of plants, leaves, and lush landscapes, the color green instantly brings the serene and invigorating qualities of the outdoors inside to your kitchen. With so many different types of green to choose from, you can control just how your kitchen will feel to you. Soft greens like sage or mint offer a serene, calming effect, while bold shades like emerald infuse energy into the space.

Muted greens such as olive envelop a room in warmth, and deep and dark greens add a touch of dramatic elegance. Whether you rent or own your home, and no matter which shade of green you prefer, there are countless ways to design a green kitchen to fit your personality. From painted walls and cabinets to backsplashes and accessories, the ways to bring the green color into your kitchen are endless. Explore the stunning variety of green kitchens and discover how this versatile color can transform your space.

Tips for Decorating a Green Kitchen

Pick your favorite shade, but don't feel stuck with it; there are tons of colors that complement green, including other greens! Pick a primary shade that you love and fill the rest of your kitchen with hues that will elevate your main shade.
Incorporate lots of natural textures in your kitchen; doubling down on nature inspiration will make your kitchen feel even more relaxing.
Reinforce your color choice with fun pops of green in accessories around the kitchen and the rest of your house.

To make a vibrant green statement out of the gate, opt for green top and bottom kitchen cabinets, like the ones seen in this home. Stark white walls and countertops make the bold, kelly green cabinets the star of this room, and the saturated hue is complemented by modern art.

When considering where to apply your favorite green paint color, don't stop at just the wooden cabinets — consider all the woodwork in your kitchen! This Seattle Craftsman house came with stunning wood molding, baseboards, and other built-in features, and instead of letting them stay white when the kitchen got a paint job, the homeowner wisely chose to splash more of the mint green color throughout the room.

You don't have to whip out the paint brush when you want to incorporate green into your kitchen. As this renovated kitchen in this pre-war Brooklyn townhouse proves, a statement wall of green tiles will fulfill your dreams of a green kitchen!

Sometimes the home you live in has dated features you can't (or don't want to) change. Don't let that get in the way of the green kitchen of your dreams! As this Atlanta house shows, you don't have to choose between keeping your vintage avocado-green stove or painting your walls a gorgeous green — you can keep both!

Although picking green kitchen cabinets is a fast track to a green-themed kitchen, there are plenty of other surfaces that you can apply green color to. This New York City studio apartment kitchen plays with patterns — like wallpaper on the walls and a checkered floor — to bring green into the space.
