Help us pick a green color combo for the kitchen 💚

I know some people think green be dated in no time. We did our kitchen in 2022 and I still love to sit in the dining room and look at it. We love green. I say go bold with green cabinets!

This is my color combo now..

ignore crap on counters, just moved in.

The white cabinets are shocking and stick out so much with the green walls. I’m all for white cabinets if you’re defensively trying to keep your options open in the future, but I would do a much lighter color wall. The darker cabinets look really good. I would go for option one or two.

4

4 or 3. You can change the paint in expensively, but if green cupboards become dated you are stuck. White cupboards allow more space decoratively to do as you please.

3 is the best but I don’t love any of the greens with your tile and the beams. Maybe try a color consultation with Sherwin Williams. They are free and you sign up on website.

2

1 is definitely the one that looks the best and stands out but it’s not very timeless so depending on how long you want to stay there or put up with the green, that could be a problem. It would be my first choice nonetheless because that ceiling is gorgeous and deserves a ‘bold’ kitchen to go with it.

3 would be my second choice as its much more timeless/easier to change if you get sick of the green, but it definitely feels a little plain/boring which is the tradeoff when going with a safer choice.

Definitely 1

1 or 2. Colored cabinets look so much more elegant than the white cabinet + colored wall combo

Paint the walls rather than the cabinets for versatility, but these greens are all too grey to complement the warmer tones of the floor and ceiling. You need a green with more yellow, like Porsche green, rainforest foliage or leisure green.

You should also add a backsplash incorporating at least two of the colors to add cohesion, as it’s currently just swaths of solid color. Some examples are these hex mosaic or these sprigs. Of course, these will date more quickly than subway tiles, just as colored cabinets do.

Alternatively, use white cabinets and subway tiles as you mentioned and bring it all together with a patterned wallpaper like abstract trees, organic leaves, or a green/white pattern.

If you plan on reselling, 3 or 4 are the better options by appealing to a wider market.

Personally, I prefer 1 or 2. Sure beats grey or wood!

I would go for 3, but with maybe a French white cabinet. Love the wood beams and ceiling, but personally dont care for the harsher whites. That is just my opinion, but if it is one of the 4, then #3.

Absolutely 3. It absolutely looks the best AND can change in five years much more easily to another colour on the walls which is more in style.

I like # 4. What software are you using to create your designs?

1. Please don’t paint cabinets.

1

What virtual planner did you use?

I’d go no. 1 personally. If you’re worried about committing to so much green, could you try seeing what white upper cabinets and green lower cabinets/pantry cabinets looks like? This might give you that impact you want without being over the top or worrying that it’ll “date” as many people in the comments are worried about? Imo the contrast between dark walls and white cabinets makes a room feel small compared to dark cabinets and white walls making it look gorgeous. 🙌🏼

4 for future regrets

Green is a great color! Found everywhere in nature. In my opinion both greens are great but the darker one balances with the intensity of the ceiling. Don’t pick because of our opinions, pick because you love it.

I like #1 but I'd go with something like SW Shoji White or SW Aesthetic White. Both would mingle better with the floor and ceiling. Just make sure the green is also a warmer tone of green and not a blue heavy green

One is the best choice. Green colors will not look good with the color of the wood (ceiling), only white.

Light green walls. Are you not doing a backsplash?

It is your kitchen, but the beige older tile and the green seem to fight each other. I would do agreeable grey as it has a bit of green and beige tones. You could use any warm white with it. But if you want green in your kitchen look at some tile colors that would pair with agreeable grey in green.

2 or 4, leaning towards 4. White cabinets give you more future options if you change your minds.

The last one

Are those the real tiles? Not a fan of.

I'd go with 2 and black appliances.

I prefer a light colored wall with a dark ceiling. It makes me feel closed in otherwise. If it’s an option, the white walls feel to stark white to me. A creamy white could really make the room cozier.

I like sage green.

1 or 3

First one

I love the dark green cabinets. If you go with the white cabinets, I feel like I would not go with the dark green on the walls IDK it just doesn't look right to me.

1

I’ve had a kitchen similar to no. 2. I was limited to only painting the cabinets - no other changes. It felt institutional to me after a while. (We’ve since renovated the whole thing.)

I’d pick 1, but only if you have to paint.

Pic on or two. Love the colored cabinets and the green is not a color that will get dated very quickly. I think I like the darker green better.

Wall are easy to paint. Cabinets, not so much.

I like 4, but the black countertops and the beige floor tile clash. Pick a different countertop, or a different floor.

Go wild and do 1 and 3. Or just 1 :)

Personally I like the lighter two options. It makes the space feel bigger and brighter, more open. The rosemary makes the space look dark and closed in. The evergreen color making the space brighter also let's your eye wander to the beautiful wood on the ceiling

1 or 4

1. I like the idea of that with butcher block countertops, but guessing you’re 1, not looking to change countertops and 2. Likely would not want butcher block.

I like the first one best.

We did extra white by Sherwin Williams top cabinets and bottom cabinets pewter green by SW and the combo is fireeee

Rosemary will be gloomy. Get Samplize sheets of Evergreen Fog and Dried Thyme (the one in between). I like having the green on the cabinets.

Alabaster and the sink are going to look bad if you don't change the floor. Is the sink a current installation or a planned one?

Since you are asking, I’d say it will be very expensive to redo these when you can no longer stand the green. Which, having lived through now 3 periods of green, I can tell you will happen. I’d paint the walls!

3 hands down

I too would love to have green cabinetry, it’s so pretty- but I have to agree with other comments, pointing out that it’s a fad and painting the walls instead gives you more options if you decide you wanna repaint at some point. But if this is your forever house, go crazy!

Dark green cabinets

Dark green walls

1 or 2 looks great

1 or 3

Am I the only one who thinks the white is too stark for either option? I love both greens, but the white is too white to tie it with the counter and floors

1 is really easy on the eyes and feels more comforting. The green breaking up the white felt so nice to me and I immediately visibly cringed at the white cabinets because of how my eyes felt.

4

Option 1 or 2!

Number 1

4 is gorgeous and peaceful, and really highlights the dark wood

[Image] 

Castle Gray by Farrow and Ball. Sure does look green to me. You might want to get a sample and see. At least it photographs as a really soothing shade of green

What software or app is this? Please guide a newbie.

I prefer the second one. Light green color brings more sense of natural light in the room. Besides, I prefer to keep the wall white because it leaves great space to change for me if I regret the atmosphere of house decoration.

1. White cabnets w green walls. Because you are probably going to get tired of the green eventually. Much easier to paint than replace cabinets.

1

One is the only answer!

1. I’d g with classic white cabinets and repaint the walls when I got bored of the color.

Curious at what color they are now. I love that wood above and I’d match that which goes with the tile floors. (Just me I think) I’d lean into those beams and add green touches. But if you love the green cabs I’d go a deep olive. It’ll play off the floor and beams nicely.

3!!!

Personally, I prefer the 1st option. It's a beautiful color, and it's so contrasting and stylish.

2 or 4

1. SW Rosemary Cabinets + Alabaster walls

The light green. Either on cabinets or the wall. The dark green doesn't look good in my opinion

2

Have you considered white upper cabinets and colored lower cabinets? Your wood ceilings and beams already give a lot of upper visual weight in the space. I would try to balance it out with white upper cabinets and a neutral wall color.

I’d do both, walls and cabinets dark green.

Go with wooden cabinets

I'd go for 1

I think 2 would be the best option.
I prefer the damped green which makes a warmer and lighter room.

The dark green in option 1 + 3 gonna get annoying very soon,
also think about the lighting, that when it is less than bright daylight, it will get very dark soon.

Please avoid option 4, as the white cabinets look so unnatural and you will see every fucking bit of dust and stain, its a pain to keep everything clean so well so often.

So basically you think of either going for primary or secondary coloring.
I always prefer secondary, lighter tones, as they give the room a moody character, without being pressing on your eyes. also the color palettes of secondary colors are more interesting !

1

Love #2! Honestly all are great options though, it is a beautiful space

My favorite is 1 - with gold hardware it would be stunning. Black hardware would be good too.

My order would be 1, 3, 2, 4. The white cabinets are so stark...make them fun and stand out! You could then also look for green wall decor, if needed. The other way around, you'd be stuck with neutral wall art.

2

How about light green walls and darker green cabinets? Or upper cabinet light green lower cabinets darker?

1 or 4

ONE

Can the tile floor be replaced?

I love 4 but I have white cabinets and they’re annoying to clean if you cook a lot. Then again I have very old wooden cabinets so not sure if you’d have that problem. I also love 1 but I feel gold accents would be better than silver!

I like the first one the most.

I take 2. White cabinets are not for people who cook in the kitchen.

I’d go an even darker green!

1 or 3

If you are tempted by #3 or #4 because it's less "permanent" that white needs to be a warmer white or a cream. On the cabinets, it's in very harsh contrast with your flooring. I know a table and floor mats will break it up, but still take note of the undertones. You might be into almost ivory territory, which is cool, too.

Definitely do the rosemary cabinets with an off white for the walls!

2!!!

Are you leaving those overhead surface mount lights?

Any of the greens, pull in some tan with backsplash?

2

First pic. Add some orange for a bit of contrast.

I love green, either of the darker green ones has my vote

4.

That green is going to become sad gray very soon... Imo.. paint the walls green and get white or wood grain cabinets.. they never go out of style.. this sage green obsession is on the way out. 💚

2 or 4

1. I think white walls look best with timber ceilings. And the forest green looks nice and woodsy

I like green, but these are all too cool for the tile. If a new floor isn’t in the cards, I would look at a warmer or more neutral option. White cabinets tho

I like all of the combos, but having painting a similar number of cabinets before ... Pick white cabinets, a warm yellow white like Swiss Coffee. Itll be much easier to change the walls than the cabinets when the color trend changes.

Monochromatic is the way to go.
