The Rise of Green Color Kitchen Design and How To Get The Look | FORM Kitchens


Kristen Davis • December 15, 2024

Green-colored kitchens are having their moment, and it's easy to see why. Green brings an organic, natural feel that breathes freshness into a kitchen. Let's explore seven beautiful green kitchen ideas that are setting trends for 2025.

1. Modern Sage Green Cabinetry

Sage green continues to dominate kitchen design with its subtle, sophisticated appeal. As seen in our guide to streamlining modern kitchen design, pairing sage green cabinets with clean lines and minimal hardware creates a serene, contemporary look. This versatile shade works beautifully with both natural light and artificial lighting, making it perfect for any kitchen space.

2. Two-Tone Green and White

The combination of green and white creates a fresh, balanced aesthetic that never goes out of style. Try using deep green base cabinets with white upper cabinets to anchor the space while keeping it light and airy. This approach adds visual interest without overwhelming the room.

3. Green Island

A green island can serve as a stunning focal point in your kitchen. As highlighted in our guide to kitchen islands, this choice pairs beautifully with neutral perimeter cabinets and creates an elegant centerpiece for your space.

4. Olive Green with Brass Accents

Olive green cabinets paired with warm brass hardware and fixtures offer a sophisticated, timeless look. This combination brings warmth and luxury to your kitchen while maintaining a connection to nature. The metallic elements add just the right amount of shine without overshadowing the vibrant green tones.

5. Green Tile Backsplash

For those who feel green is too bold for the cabinetry, a backsplash is a great way to capture the organic feel of green. A green tile backsplash offers a modern alternative to traditional tile while adding depth and luminosity to your kitchen. This element can complement natural, white, or dark cabinets, making it versatile.

6. Nature-Inspired Green and Wood

Combining green cabinetry with wood elements creates a harmonious, organic feel. This pairing works especially well with our European cabinet styles, bringing warmth and texture to contemporary designs while maintaining a connection to nature.

7. Green Accents in Neutral Kitchens

If you're hesitant about committing to all-green cabinetry, try incorporating green through smaller elements. Think green pendant lights, bar stools, or a single green cabinet section. This approach allows you to experiment with the trend while maintaining a more neutral overall palette.

Bringing Your Green Colored Kitchen to Life

When planning your green kitchen, consider how different lighting conditions will affect your chosen shade. Natural light can dramatically impact how green appears throughout the day, so it's crucial to test samples in your space before making a final decision.


Remember that green color kitchens work best when balanced with complementary materials and textures, so consider pairing your chosen green with:


- Natural stone countertops


- Warm metallic hardware


- Light wood accents


- White or cream elements


- Black matte fixtures for contrast


Finding the right balance between statement-making color and timeless design is the key to a successful green kitchen that will look great and last.
