Green Kitchens: A Celebration of Nature’s Hues

Green kitchens have been making a strong statement in interior design, blending a sense of calm, freshness, and elegance into the heart of the home. Whether you prefer a soft and subtle green or a deep and moody shade, there’s a perfect green for every kitchen style.

Let’s explore seven stunning shades – Sage Green, Cardamom, Reed Green, Willow, Viridian, Heritage Green, and Deep Forest – that can transform your kitchen into a nature-inspired sanctuary.

Deep Forest: Moody & Sophisticated

Cool, rich, and sumptuously dark, Deep Forest is a vibrant, complex green with hushed black undertones. Deep Forest adds drama and depth to any kitchen. It’s perfect for those who love rich, moody interiors with an intimate feel.

Styling Tips:

• Pair with beige tones such as Mussel, which features complimentary green undertones or Taupe Grey with subtle bronze and peach undertones to calmy balance the vibrant hue.

• Warm metallic hardware works best to enhance Deep Forest, such as Satin Brass or Antique Copper, for the perfect final addition to your statement cabinetry.
• To balance the darkness, incorporate a carefully planned lighting scheme, including plenty of LED cabinetry lights to enhance both the practicality and ambience of the space.

 

Heritage Green: Rustic & Refined

Create a seamless connection with nature by opting for Heritage Green, an elegant dark green shade with earthy undertones reflective of its inspiration, Sessile oak leaves. Heritage Green exudes timeless elegance and is often found in classic kitchen designs. It works beautifully in both shaker-style and slab kitchens and pairs well with both rustic and refined elements.

Styling Tips:

• This on-trend yet timeless colour choice can be paired with delicate warm hues like Porcelain to create an inviting space or used on its own for a captivating look.
• Accessorise with natural elements such as rattan and warmer metallic finishes like brushed brass to compliment your cabinetry in both traditional and contemporary settings.

 

Viridian: Vivid & Charismatic

A captivating shade that will breathe life into any space, Viridian is a luxurious teal hue featuring a beautiful blend of majestic blue and green undertones with a touch of black for added sophistication. Inspired by the iridescent plumage of peacocks, Viridian offers a dramatic yet elegant touch to your home. This deep hue adds a luxurious feel while maintaining a strong connection to nature.

Styling Tips:

• Combine the bold yet refined hue with Graphite for a sense of drama and intrigue, creating a moody yet alluring colour palette.
• Opt for a monochromatic palette by pairing Viridian with Light Teal; the paler hue will provide a calming contrast and add visual balance to the space.

• Viridian’s dynamic nature means that it can be paired with both warmer and cooler metallic hardware. However, brass handles work particularly well, adding warmth and a luxurious final addition.

 

Willow: Open & Tranquil

Inspired by Irish forest floors, Willow’s hues reflect the varied species of ferns and mosses found below the tree canopy. Willow, a rich earthy green, is suitable for both traditional and modern designs that evoke a sense of openness and tranquillity, blurring the lines between outdoors and in.

Styling Tips:

• Willow can easily be the focal point of any room when paired with a softer shade like Taupe Grey.
• Steal the show when used solo or ground the space when used in conjunction with starker hues like Graphite.

 

Reed Green: An Understated Beauty

Reed Green is a calming mid-tone green with subtle blue undertones inspired by the stems of broad-leafed water reeds found along the edges of lakes and rivers. This versatile colour is perfect for a minimal yet stylish kitchen aesthetic and will soothe any space whilst adding a nature-inspired element to your colour palette.

Styling Tips:

• The gentle shade will breathe life into your space and works particularly well when paired with paler-toned shades like Porcelain or warmer beiges like Taupe Grey.

• Natural textures like aged stone, wicker and oak will draw on the Reed Green’s subtle warmth, complementing its organic aspect, whilst metallic accents in chrome or brass will pop against the homely hue.

 

Cardamom: Warm & Earthy

A warm and inviting shade, Cardamom is fittingly named after the earthy spice. This hue emits hints of warmth, making it ideal for kitchens that seek a balance between contemporary and rustic charm. Its slightly muted undertone ensures it remains elegant without feeling overpowering. The muted shade will provide a homely feel in kitchens, laundry rooms or home offices and offers an alternative neutral shade from popular grey and beige tones.

Styling Tips:

• Pair with Light Oak for a classic palette full of warmth or Porcelain for a fresher colour scheme that will be equally as cosy.
• Opt for an Inox finish that features both cool and warm metallic tones to compliment your overall look.

 

Sage Green: Soft & Subtle

Our palest green is aptly named after the evergreen shrub, Sage, with its dusty green cotton textured leaves providing the foundation for Sage Green’s delicate tone and soft blue base. This versatile shade works well with both modern and traditional kitchens, provoking a sense of calmness and relaxation, perfect for those who want a subtle nod to nature without overwhelming their space.

Styling Tips:

• For added warmth, pair Sage Green with Ivory and opt for some traditional elements like a profiled cornice or tongue and groove panelling to create a country chic setting.
• For a refreshing monotoned style, paint all your cabinetry Sage Green and opt for a slab door style for the ultimate sleek serenity.
• Accessorise with contrasting pewter or antique brown handles to complete the look.

 

Green kitchens are not just a trend; they are a timeless way to bring a touch of nature indoors. Whether you opt for a soft and airy shade like Sage Green or a bold and dramatic hue like Deep Forest, each of these stunning greens offers a unique personality and charm. Pairing them with complementary textures and finishes will ensure your kitchen remains both stylish and inviting for years to come.
