Dark green kitchens are a bold trend that’s quickly gaining popularity. One of the most common variations of this trend centers around painting the kitchen cabinets a dark green shade, replacing the more traditional wooden or white cabinets found in older homes.
Because of this, there’s an abundance of green kitchen cabinet ideas out there, which often makes it a challenge to figure out where to start. Below, you can find the most inspiring green kitchen cabinet ideas to help you add a fun, modern touch to your kitchen.
Dark Green Kitchen Cabinetry With Green Tile Backsplash
These dark green kitchen cabinet doors paired with a green tile backsplash are a breath of fresh air. The varying shades of green in the tiles pair well with the cabinet color while also bringing visual texture into the space.
Additionally, the tall, vertical tiling is a less common style for backsplashes, making the kitchen even more unique. White counters tie into the white grout between the tiles and create perfect contrast against the kitchen cabinets. The gold faucet is a subtle accent that still manages to draw the eye in a pleasing way.

Muted Green Kitchen Cabinets in a Kitchen with a Peninsula Island
Looking for more subtle light green kitchen cabinet ideas? These muted sage green cabinets create a stylish, more understated green kitchen. This kitchen layout with a peninsula island takes a one-wall design and adds a peninsula across from it, increasing countertop space and creating a clearer divide between the areas of the room than a kitchen island would.
Open shelving in greige-toned paint also increases storage space without making the room feel smaller. Wood cabinet hardware and black appliances are the perfect accents to this space.

Worn Green Kitchen Cabinets With White Countertops and Beige Walls
This example also features a more light green coloring. The mint green undertone and polished gold hardware add dimension, especially when paired with black appliances. White marble with grey veining is a great choice in this setting, as it echoes the intricate ceiling and lightly contrasts with the other elements in the room.
Beige walls provide an excellent backdrop and an elegant, timeless feel when paired with the style of cabinets and appliances seen here. Additionally, the lower cabinets including different-sized drawers help make sure that everything you need to store away has a place to go.

For a much more bold and dramatic kitchen, pair matching dark green walls and cabinets with hardwood floors and a patterned area rug. This dark green kitchen borders on black, a daring choice that completely pays off.
Bright white counters help to reflect and amplify any light in the room, but not so much that the intensity of the design is lost. The large black oven makes for a great focal point in this space. Gold- and copper-toned accents pop against the dark backdrop but never diminish its effect.

Dark Olive Green Cabinets With Warm Wood Tones
This deep olive green cabinetry and brass accents looks incredible alongside the dark wood touches and stone countertop. A stainless steel oven and wine fridge discretely slot into the lower cabinets, blending seamlessly with their surroundings.
Though green tile would likely work in this kitchen, the brown-toned stone is the ideal choice as it can draw in the brown coloring of other elements to create a cohesive look.
