Beige Stone Countertops Elevate the Rich Greens in This Modern Kitchen
The bold shade of green for the cabinets in this space adds a dramatic effect. Paired with the beige stone countertops, this combination is a match made in heaven. While the cabinets’ unique hue lends this kitchen a lively aesthetic, the bright brass hardware on the cabinetry really helps it pop.
A brushed-brass faucet complements the hardware, while the simple open shelf above the sink is a sleek, modern accent. While most shades of forest green are deep, this particular shade has a brightness that creates a lively yet welcoming space.

Dark Green Kitchen Cabinets Add a Moody Effect
In this kitchen, the emerald green cabinetry pops against the light beige walls. Matching green stone countertops elevate the green kitchen cabinets, creating a seamless and cohesive look. The coordinating green wooden shelving on the wall also adds visual balance to the space.

A Light and Bright Corner Kitchen Design
When it comes to design trends, you can never go wrong with white walls, especially when you’re incorporating other bold colors into the room. In this beautiful two-tone kitchen design, the cabinets’ dramatic green shade stands out against the stark walls and light floors.
Butcher block countertops complement the floors perfectly and help to draw the eye toward the green cabinets. A sleek, white scalloped backsplash on one wall adds visual interest and a modern touch.
Go Nature-Inspired with Sage Green
The chic white-and-natural interior of this kitchen is punctuated by earthy sage-green cabinets. Open shelving adds a convenient place for stylish decor, houseplants, and other items. An open floor plan makes this kitchen airy and bright, along with a massive window just across from the sink and countertop area.
When it comes to green kitchen ideas, you can incorporate the color subtly into the design, as seen here. Rather than making all of the major elements green, the homeowner simply chose to add a flush of this soft, earthy hue to the main cabinetry. Instead of a kitchen island, they chose a simple wooden dining table and chairs to match the natural aesthetic.

A Dark and Moody Kitchen Renovation
This space is the true definition of a forest green kitchen with the walls, ceiling, upper, and lower cabinets all matching. The large burgundy tile backsplash lends it a dramatic contrast, along with the industrial-inspired black metal vent hood.
Natural wood countertops soften the space and add a lighter element to tone down the forest-green walls and ceiling. Sleek silver drawer hardware also adds an elevated, modern component. If you like the idea of deep olive cabinetry in the kitchen, adding a few other elements in different colors is a smart way to keep things from becoming too monotone.

Grassy Green Elevates this Cheery Kitchen
Rather than using dark forest green, these kitchen designers chose a lighter grassy green. This color works beautifully against the white walls and white ceramic tile, which helps to make the green color stand out.
Rustic natural hardwood floors ground the space, which is flanked by a sunny window that fills this kitchen with sunlight. Long worktops directly across from the sink and stove give the homeowner plenty of space to prep food.

A Kitchen Bathed in Beautiful Blue-Green
While many of these kitchens feature forest or olive green cabinetry, this one has a much different shade. The brilliant blue-green color adds an elevated, modern look to this large cooking space.
The white countertops and white subway-tile backsplash help create a stunning, two-toned aesthetic in this cozy space. Some of the upper cabinets feature glass doors, offering a perfect place to display a few favorite décor items, glassware, and more. A small, simple round-top table and upholstered stool create a comfy area to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.

A Modern Kitchen with Hunter Green Cabinets
This large, open-plan kitchen is replete with modern details, including the sputnik-inspired chandelier above the island and the luxe marble countertops. Wide wood plank flooring softens the space, as does the bright white subway tile on one wall.
