Green kitchens aren't a new trend, but they're one that's here to stay. Ever since green kitchens started popping up in droves about three years ago (remember Dakota Johnson's iconic dark green kitchen?), they've become more and more popular and don't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Is it because green reminds us of life, the earth and nature? Is it because green is both a color and a neutral color? Is it because green comes in so many different shades, there's something for everyone? Quite simply. But what we love most about it is that there are endless ways to incorporate green into your kitchen design.
Of course, you can go green with your kitchen cabinets and paint them sage, olive, forest, or Kelly green. And you should. But you can also install emerald green marble countertops or invest in a teal green oven. By mixing green, you can go traditional, contemporary, Scandinavian-inspired minimalist, or any other design style that resonates with you. In other words, use it however you like, because green goes with just about everything.

What are the most popular colors for kitchens?
While white kitchens are undoubtedly the most popular, green kitchens have been on the rise for some time now. Green kitchens have been on trend for at least the last three years, and the style shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. This means that green kitchens are not outdated, but at the same time, they are also modern, which is a good sign that it's a trend worth following.
Is green a good color for your kitchen?
The short answer is, yes. More specifically, green is a great color for your kitchen. That's mainly because it's found in nature. Green is inherently natural. It makes sense especially if you have a view of trees from a nearby window. But green can be used in any situation to create a connection with your surroundings. Plus, green is so versatile that it can be paired with almost any other color.
What colors go with a green kitchen?
The most obvious colors to pair with green are those found in nature: earthy tones like creamy whites, warm beiges, and deep browns. Pairing green with these organic neutrals creates a calming feel, while layering different shades of green creates a soothing tonal look, and contrasting green with complementary reds and pinks creates a bold look. The moral of the story is that green goes with almost anything; it just depends on what aesthetic you're going for.
