Lorsqu’il s’agit de
cuisine colorée
, le bleu est souvent la première teinte qui vient à l’esprit. Mais jetez un coup d’œil dans les cuisines suivantes et vous verrez à quel point le vert peut être intemporel. Assortissez les tons verts de votre cuisine à la vue de votre pelouse ou optez pour un ton plus excentrique.
Que vous vous inspiriez des couleurs de la nature juste à l’extérieur des fenêtres ou de la
tarte au citron vert
qui repose dans le réfrigérateur, vous pouvez pousser une palette de vert dans n’importe quelle direction. Selon
la nuance
, le vert peut être moderne ou classique, simple ou affirmé, éclatant comme un néon ou tout à fait discret.
Laissez-vous inspirer par ces
idées de cuisine vertes
qui présentent toutes les meilleures façons d’ajouter un peu de vert à vos murs, que ce soit sous forme de peinture, de papier peint, de carrelage ou d’armoires. En plus de quelques conseils et astuces utiles, entrez dans ces

Oubliez ce que vous savez : Les plafonds
n’ont pas besoin d’être blancs
. Une couche de Galapagos Green (475) de Benjamin Moore en huile brillante sur le plafond de cette maison au bord d’un lac en Alabama fait entrer l’extérieur à l’intérieur.

Architect Bill Ingram drew inspiration from a gorgeously retro green kitchen featured in the June 1975 issue of
Southern Living
. He coated the
2016 Southern Living Idea House
in Sherwin-Williams Evergreens (SW 6447) for a perfectly modern take on colorful kitchen design.

At Monica Lavin’s
charming Savannah home
, a coat of subdued sage green on any paintable surface (ceiling included!) proves that a kitchen doesn’t need sprawling walls to add a little green to the scheme. We can’t get enough of these pops of color.

A stately green-gray on the trim and glass-front cabinets makes the white china on display in the
2013 Southern Living Nashville Idea House
really stand out. This is a great way to blend hues and create a space that feels warm yet crisp.

When it comes to the kitchen, paint and wallpaper aren’t your only options. Add a little green to your kitchen walls with gorgeous green tile. Here, a backsplash of dark green tile takes center stage in the

Go For Multiple Hues

Why pick just one tone of green for your space? Painting your lower cabinets a darker tone and your uppers or your walls a lighter green is a fun way to bring some dimension to your space while keeping the color scheme simple, like in this
Lake Martin cottage
.

Accent The Wainscoting

If you’re nervous about completely color-washing your kitchen, or think an entire wall would be too much, try just painting the
beadboard or your wainscoting
. Your whole wall won’t be covered, but you still get that pop of color.

Color Match With The Outside

One of the best things about green paint is that it evokes feelings of nature. What better way to emphasize that feeling than by picking a hue that matches with the verdant views outside your window? For inspo, check out this
South Carolina farmhouse
, which takes advantage of the bucolic scenes outside in the kitchen.

Can’t commit to green? Love blue too much? The good news is you don’t have to decide. There are plenty of gorgeous mixes of blue and green, which are next to each other on the color wheel, that will add depth and interest to your space, like in Nikki Colquitt’s

.

Pick A High-Gloss Or Lacquered Paint

If your kitchen is dark, opt for a high gloss paint or a lacquered finish to help brighten the space and reflect light. Bonus: These finishes are also easy to wipe off messes and spills, common in the kitchen.

Paint The Breakfast Nook, Too

If you have a
breakfast nook
, it’s often adjacent to or directly in your kitchen. Ease the flow from the cooking area to the eating area by continuing your green paint or wallpaper and creating a seamless space.

Just because your walls are green doesn’t mean they have to be boring. Bring in some added interest and movement with patterns in your wall paint, paper, or tile in your chosen color scheme, like this sea glass Goa tile in designer Lindsey Ellis Beatty’s
Alabama home
.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What shade of green should I paint my kitchen?
You can paint your kitchen any shade of green you prefer, but note that whichever hue you pick will affect the overall mood of the space. Cooler shades like sage or gray-green can be calming. Shades like seagrass and sea glass, which have some blue in them, can transport you to the beach. Army green might give off a masculine feel. Darker shades can also be calming, like pine or moss-colored shades, as they bring up feelings of a forest. On the other hand, key lime or kelly green are more likely to breathe energy, giving it a tropical feel.
-
What colors coordinate well with green in a kitchen?
Green can mix with pretty much any color of the rainbow. For an elegant and serene look, pair it with neutrals, like browns, blacks, grays, and whites. For a coastal take, try shades of blue. For a more cottage flair, try yellows, like butter or mustard.
-
What materials work best in a green kitchen?
Because green is a color found naturally in the environment, it pairs well with many cabinet, island, and counter materials, like light and dark woods, brass, gold, and stone countertops, like marble, quartz, and granite.
