While I was designing my kitchen in both my studio home in Antwerp and my apartment in Munich, I was checking the inspirations on the Reform websiteconstantly, but once I figured out the perfect configuration with the Reform team and my kitchen has been finished for a while, I realized I haven’t been checking their beautiful inspirations for a while.
I love browsing through the wonderful inspirations with Reform kitchens on their website and here are my current favorites.
The owners of this historic Nyhavn apartment from 1845 in Copenhagenchose the BASIS design in red linoleum combined with a Calacatta viola marble countertop. This color combination brought a sense of vitality and texture that contrasted the already textural, slightly wonky architecture. The painted fronts matched with the rest of the apartment, integrating the space easily, while the red island gives a pop of color that ensures the space stands out.
The FRAME design in dark oak causes a wow effect in this family home in Copenhagen. This family knew that they wanted their kitchen to be the heart of the home. The kitchen and living room act as a large, open-plan room, and the owners say that this is where they spend the most time. As a result, getting not only the aesthetic but also the functionality right was essential. While storage was not the most important aspect of the dark wood kitchen design, the owners say that due to the kitchen island, they ended up with more than they ever thought possible. The fact that this is ‘hidden storage,’ as opposed to having high cabinets throughout the room, is exactly what the owners wanted.
Danish jewelry designer Sophie Bille Brahe chose the PLATE collection by Studio David Thulstrup for the kitchen in the new showroom in the heart of Copenhagen.
The BASIS kitchen in this beautiful open-plan Stockholm apartment is aesthetically integrated with the rest of the home. The kitchen was designed to look like it was meant to be part of the existing space. A custom beige paint was used on both the fronts and the handles, for a pleasing monotone that contrasts with the light gray marble countertops and gleaming white subway tile backsplash.

Nordiska Kök has created a concept kitchen in collaboration with Swedish interior designer Lotta Agaton for The House of Gärsnäs showroom in the heart of Stockholm. The kitchen is a fusion between modern minimalism and classic heritage grounded in tradition and functions as a beautiful and unique piece of furniture in the space. The timeless kitchen blends into the rest of the interior with classic shapes and minimal details.
Swedish interior designer Lotta Agaton and her daughter Filippa created an innovative yet timeless kitchen together with Nordiska kök. The kitchen is a fusion between the classic shaker model and a Scandinavian minimalist kitchen created for a small space without compromising on design or function. The muted color palette of the off-white kitchen cabinetry matches perfectly with the natural oak flooring and furniture in the space and a special vitrine cabinet in the same style has been fitted next to the window.
The minimal kitchen layout is enhanced with a simple floating kitchen shelf on which a careful selection of accessories is displayed.
I’m a fan of contrasting elements in an interior and the way the combination of materials can become a play between hard and soft. This new industrial-style kitchen by Nordiska Kök is a beautiful example of a mixture of materials that enhance the look of the room. This kitchen is built in a villa outside Stockholm and features concrete flooring, combined with a stainless-steel worktop and light oak cabinets. The kitchen island looks like the chefs’ table in a restaurant, while the soft oak finishes add a Scandinavian elegance.
Swedish Nordiska Kök has designed and built one of their bespoke kitchens in a beautiful 19th-century building in Stockholm and it’s like something you’ve never seen before, I’m sure. The space was designed together with AO/JND interiors and features dark stained oak combined with a contrasting kitchen island in Calacatta Vagli Oro marble that comes back in the countertop and the backsplash of the main module.
The dining area and the kitchen are openly connected, yet to create a bespoke, well-crafted, and luxurious feeling, elegant glass partitions have been installed between the dining room and the kitchen. The frame of the curved glass partition has been crafted out of the same stained oak as the kitchen cabinets and frames the kitchen in such a perfect way. A single lamp above the counter adds elegance to the kitchen and note that handles have only been used on the bottom cupboards, the top works with a push-to-open function to keep the upper part clean and minimalistic.
The rest of the interior has been kept white, with elegant touches of cream, natural wood tints, and a subtle graphic look for an elegant and sophisticated look that makes the kitchen stand out even better.
It’s always safe to go for a kitchen in a neutral color and I feel like white and grey are very often picked for exactly this reason. Green cabinets however look so interesting and characterful, yet they still have a calming effect and are a relatively safe color to opt for.
Below you can find my top picks of kitchens with green cabinets that I find most inspiring. From mint green to darker green, sage green, apple green, and even forest green, all shades are represented here. I recently made a compilation of my favorite kitchens with sage green cabinets as well, which you can find here.
Kitchens in green: my top green kitchen ideas and inspirations
Subtle green cabinets, dark-stained wood, and a subway tile backsplash
The beautiful kitchen features dark olive green cabinets in combination with brass handles, a brass faucet, and an oak countertop for a saturated look. The combination with the white tiles on the wall as a splashback however makes this kitchen look balanced and fresh.
I love that the white tiles are finished off with a trim in the same wood as the countertop, which has a nice effect. On the left side of the kitchen, dark green open shelving has been added and the Monstera plant here adds a fresh touch to this look.
A kitchen with green cabinets and a grey marble stone
This modern shaker kitchen has a wonderful combination of dark muted green cabinet fronts with chrome handles and a chrome faucet combined with a natural grey stone countertop that makes the effect of the green even more dramatic.
The subtle beige color on the wall makes the white upper cabinets stand out even better and I love the way the lighter palette on the top balances out the deep green of the bottom cabinets.
Try out a swatch of Farrow & Ball Treron* to achieve a similar color as on these green kitchen cabinets.
This fresh and minimal kitchen has cabinet fronts in a more muted and lighter shade of green, which has a more subtle and neutral effect on the space. The crisp white marble countertop and the chrome details in both the faucet and the handles brighten up this look and I love the subtle shade of beige on the wall.
No upper cabinets in this kitchen, instead a single open shelf to display pretty ceramics combined with a large module of storage on the other side which has been painted in a lighter shade of muted green so it doesn’t look too heavy.
This olive green kitchen is the main component of a small studio home and it makes the entire space special. The deep green custom-made shaker fronts combined with a beige natural stone countertop are built perfectly into this small corner of the studio holding lots of storage space, yet without looking heavy, which is a challenging goal to achieve.
The green kitchen cabinets go from floor to ceiling for ample storage space in this studio home and for a seamless effect in the space and the black accents in the accessories finish the look off very nicely.
A green kitchen with two shades of cabinets and a shiplap backsplash
The vibrant green kitchen cabinets in this beautiful farmhouse-style kitchen are finished off with off-white upper cabinets, open shelving, a marble stone countertop, and a shiplap backsplash that has been painted in the same color as the upper cabinets.
The stainless steel appliances add a slight industrial touch to this otherwise very classic green kitchen design that matches the style of the building. This is one of my favorite green kitchen ideas on the list and probably also the most characterful one.
A classic green kitchen with a white marble sink and glossy green tiles
The green kitchen cabinets in this beautiful Swedish home feature a combination of different materials including a white marble sink, a glossy tiles wall in green, and brass details all over the green kitchen.
Just like in some of the other examples, some of the upper kitchen cabinets have been painted off-white for a lighter look, which is a great design decision especially if you are working with a darker shade of green.
A muted green kitchen with an off-white shiplap wall
This characterful green kitchen features muted green kitchen cabinets that combine so nicely with the dark wood countertop, yet creates a modern contrast with the white shiplap wall, white sink, white dining table and chairs, and the white open shelving on the wall.
The addition of green plants enhances the green color even more, which is a great tip to make a more muted green kitchen pop.
Minimal mint green kitchen cabinets and white marble countertops
This beautiful mint green kitchen has a very minimal design where the cabinet handles are integrated into the design of the mint green cabinets themselves. The white marble countertop, the white walls, and the minimal chrome faucet finish off this modern look very nicely.
Not that in this kitchen, the mint green cabinets are used on the bottom only on the side of the window, and all the higher cabinets are placed on one side of the room for a light look in the layout.
Dark green might be a common color for a kitchen, yet forest green is a little less common and a bolder shade for a kitchen. This dark green shade works really well in this space though where the upper cabinets and range hood are picked out in white for a lighter look.
The forest green goes well with the warm hardwood floors, which also comes back in the butcher block countertops. This dark green color on the cabinets is very saturated, yet because of the combination of white and neutrals, the dark green becomes the sole focal point in the space, making the design interesting yet not overwhelming.
The mint green cabinets in this small kitchen are matched with a lighter tone of green on the wall and a mint shade on the door and window frames for an impressive effect. The mint green kitchen is finished off with a stainless steel sink and faucet and a grey marble countertop for a rather minimal effect that has been finished off with interesting accessories.
The kitchen is not the only part of the home that has a mint green color, have a look at the entire apartment here.
Apple green kitchen cabinets with a subway tile backsplash
The apple green kitchen cabinets have such a fresh effect in this otherwise very minimal space with a subway tile backsplash reaching all the way up to the ceiling. The black accents in the lamps add a lovely contrast to the vibrant shade of green on the cabinets.
A kitchen with green cabinets and a subway tile backsplash
The green kitchen cabinets pair up really nicely with the texture of the natural stone countertop and the stainless steel cabinet handles. The subway tiles enhance the fresh effect the green cabinets have in the space and the kitchen island serves as a breakfast bar at the same time.
Muted green cabinets in a shaker design with gold hardware and stainless steel appliances
The muted, lighter green kitchen cabinets in this beautiful shaker kitchen are enhanced with gold handles, a gold faucet, and gold details in the lamps and stove. The white marble countertop and backsplash add a timeless elegance to the green kitchen design and the U-shaped layout is one that typically works well in smaller spaces.

A gray-green kitchen with a sandstone countertop
I love the shade of gray-green on the kitchen cabinets in this space and the fact that they have been combined with a gray sandstone countertop turns the layout into a sophisticated kitchen design.
The addition of the white vintage upper cabinet contrasts so nicely with the clean lines of the stone and the teal cabinets.
Muted green kitchen cabinets and a grey stone countertop
The green kitchen cabinets in this space are combined with chrome details and a grey natural stone countertop, yet it’s the simplicity of it all that really draws the attention. Rather than upper cabinets, this kitchen has subtle artworks that create contrast with the dramatic vibe of the kitchen itself.
Olive green kitchen cabinets with pink details and polygon tiles
This beautiful olive green kitchen has such a rich combination of materials: from the green and pink polygon tiles to the stainless steel countertops, bold cabinet color, and cognac leather handles, this kitchen combines it all into one characterful and personal look.
A kitchen with green cabinets and beige countertops
The green creates a fresh yet calming atmosphere in this light flooded kitchen with white walls. The accent color of the kitchen cabinetry on the bottom of the kitchen layout really stands out against the beige countertops and the brass hardware.
Note that the upper cabinets and exhaust have been picked out in white to keep a light look in the interior.
A dark forest green shaker kitchen in a contrasting setting
This beautiful corner layout kitchen has a deep dark forest green cabinet color that contrasts nicely with the off-white walls and white trim on the ceiling. The white-soaped hardwood floors and the small white dining area complement the light backdrop that makes the dark kitchen stand out a lot.
The white marble countertops and the white subway tile backsplash brighten up the kitchen design even more and enhance the traditional setting of the shaker cabinets.
I think this beautiful kitchen is next level. The meticulous carpentry combined with the natural countertops that add a little bit of warmth and the black metal faucet and door handles are a match made in heaven if you ask me. I love the balance in the layout of the kitchen with the oven and the fridge as bigger modules on both sides and the inner module with the upper cabinets in the middle.
The skirting on the walls and the carpentry underneath the window have been painted in the same color as the kitchen itself, which makes it look exclusive. The vintage dining table and chairs in the middle of the room add character, warmth, and a fresh touch of green. I love this match between the rougher vintage pieces and the clean and polished design of the kitchen.
I think this is such a beautiful combined kitchen and living space, don’t you think? The warm grey cabinet fronts work so nicely together with the marble countertop and the brass finish of the faucet. The kitchen island with the stove features a black base, which contrasts even more with the white marble and matches the beautiful Flos wall lamp lighting up this surface.
The oval dining table on the other side of the kitchen island works wonderfully in this corner and makes the layout of the space work in a very nice way. On the other side of the space, you can find the sofa area, which is almost completeley covered with a large fluffy area rug that makes the brown leather sofa’s stand out. I love the way the TV has been built into the custom made book shelf, it gives the space a finished look.
Another great project by Swedish kitchen manufacturer Nordiska Kök, this time in the villa of interior stylist Daniella Witte, who is known for her characterful interior designs inspired by natural materials. The off-white kitchen has a minimalistic design, but the powdery, warm tones give the space a warm and welcoming feeling. The concrete flooring adds a rustic industrial touch to the room, which pairs up very nicely with the cream-white fronts. The kitchen island has been engraved with lines, matching the façade of the villa.
The dining room is located in the room next to the kitchen, but the kitchen island also serves as a spot where you can have breakfast or a meal with two people. To match the floors, the worktop has been made out of concrete as well and the sand color on the walls adds an overall natural feeling to the space.
I love the way this minimal kitchen has been fitted underneath the sloped roof of this aparment. The tallest area underneath the roof has been used for the larger items like the fridge and the exhaust, while as the rest of the kitchen has been built against the sloped roof. This way a minimal amount of space has been lost and you don’t hit your head against the roof either. In the middle of the room, the owners of this apartment placed a dining table with an Ay Illuminate lamp above it which really adds a lot to this space I think. The window sill has been extended to also become a breakfast bar or small desk and I think the Frama bar stools work so nicely with the green marble.
