Sage green is a perfect color for a kitchen, as it’s a color variation that is more exciting and interesting than a grey or white paint color, yet it’s not as daring and you can still achieve a calm, classy, and serene look in your kitchen. I personally love sage green as a paint color choice and you can go light or slightly darker with the color palette according to your preference.

Below, I selected and listed my top picks of inspiring kitchens with sage green kitchen cabinets and I even added some tips down below for those of you who are looking to give your current kitchen a new sage green paint color.

This beautiful shaker kitchen combines light sage green cabinets with a warm grey wall color and a grey limestone countertop. The gold faucet, towel rail, and cabinet pulls add a lovely texture to this muted palette.

The fresh sage green color on the cabinets in this corner kitchen layout pairs wonderfully with the white marble countertops and the gold hardware that adds an elegant touch to the space. The stainless steel stove top with gold details in the middle is a true focal point and behind it, you can find a white marble stove backsplash against the sage green wall.

A sage green kitchen with shiplap and limewash walls

I think this is my favorite sage green kitchen on the list, as I really like the combination of the classic shaker kitchen combined with the shiplap wall and the limewash paint on the opposite wall, all in a green color palette. These different textures complement each other so nicely.

I love the look of the green kitchen cabinet combined with the shiplap backsplash and the black pendant lights. on the other side of the kitchen. I think the cabinet paint colors match perfectly with the different green wall colors and the white quartz countertops work wonderfully with the sage green cabinets.

A classy shaker kitchen in a deep sage green

This gorgeous shaker kitchen has deep sage green kitchen cabinets that combine wonderfully with the wood tones in the white-soaped flooring and the bentwood dining chairs. The white marble countertop contrast so nicely with the country green kitchen cabinets and the grey wall color and I love that the countertop continues in a backsplash behind the stove and sink.

Upper cabinets are only used to integrate the exhaust and in the area above the sink which lightens up the otherwise moody sage color palette.

Grey-green kitchen cabinets and a checkered floor

The green-grey paint color on these beautiful shaker cabinets is so subtle and more toned down than the other sage green cabinet paint colors on the list. The muted shaker cabinets are complemented with a shiplap backsplash in the same color and a beige limestone countertop for a farmhouse kitchen look.

The gold hardware adds a warm touch to this grey-green kitchen and the checkered flooring adds so much contrast to the space. The oak wood dining table and chairs are a great choice to finish off this beautiful look.

Sage green and black kitchen with lots of contrast

The color of the cabinets in this kitchen is a very light shade of sage green, almost like a pastel. The kitchen design consists of mostly lower cabinets for a light look which pairs up nicely with the white tiles on the wall.

The sage green cabinets and the white tiles contrast nicely with the black metal window frames and the black accent wall by the dining area.

Sage green kitchen cabinets with wood countertops

While sage green in the kitchen can look very fresh and clean, in this kitchen the wooden countertops really warm up the color palette. Part of the upper cabinets consists of open shelving made out of the same material as the countertops, which is a nice touch that comes back on the back of the kitchen island as well.

The white tiles with the black grout add a little bit of a graphic touch while the salmon flowerpot lampshade adds some character to the pale paint color.

Sage green cabinets combined with a beige wall and black accents

The sage green paint color on these beautiful shaker kitchen cabinets is warmed up with the wood countertops and the beige walls. The black lamps above the sink have subtle brass detail that also comes back in the faucet.

The layout of this kitchen consists of both upper and lower cabinets to create ample storage space and when doing the kitchen remodel, the owners used the kitchen cabinets to create a separator from the hallway section of the apartment.

Fresh sage green kitchen cabinets combined with white marble and green wallpaper

The fresh tone of the sage green kitchen cabinet color is carried over onto the subtle light green pattern wallpaper, which gives the design a more traditional farmhouse style.

The white marble countertops and the chrome hardware adds a modern element to the look and the oak inlays and hemp kitchen runner add warmth to the color palette.

A classic two-tone shaker kitchen with a shiplap backsplash

The classic design of this beautiful shaker kitchen fits wonderfully in this space and the sage green cabinet color of the lower cabinets combines so well with the off-white upper cabinets and the shiplap wall that has been painted in the same color. The classic gold cabinet pulls enhance the sage green and add a beautiful warm note to the palette.

A minimal kitchen design in sage green

The design of the kitchen cabinets is very clean and minimal, yet the sage green paint color on the cabinets makes this space shine. The sage green is combined with a light wood countertop and white tiles with black grout on the wall. The stainless steel cabinet pulls add an elegant and clean touch to the cabinets and I like the peg rail that has been added on top of the tiles.

A minimal shaker kitchen in sage green with two-tone walls

I love the balance of the color palette in this kitchen. The subtle sage green kitchen cabinets combined with the grey quartz countertop and backsplash and the beige walls result in a soft color palette that looks elegant and inviting.

The two-tone palette brought on by the wall color and the kitchen backsplash has been continued on the other wall and open shelving in the same material as the countertops is added on the upper part of the kitchen.

The kitchen cabinets continue into a lower bench in the dining area with the same paint color on both the cabinets and the wall, which is a nice way of integrating the dining area into the kitchen design.

A moody sage green kitchen with wood tones

The moody sage color on these beautiful kitchen cabinets has been paired up with soft oak tones in the finishes of the ladder and the open shelving on the wall to soften out the look. The walls of the kitchen are exposed brick covered in limewash paint which adds an interesting texture to the sage green kitchen.

A light sage green kitchen with a contrasting black dining table and chairs

I think the subtle yet fresh sage green paint color on the kitchen looks fresh and modern yet the design of the kitchen itself is quite classic and timeless. The white wall, white-soaped hardwood flooring, and white tile backsplash enhance the palette brought on by the sage green kitchen, yet the black dining table, chairs, and wall lamps add a lovely contrast to the space that makes it unique and characterful.

Pale sage green cabinets and a window towards the hallway

The paint color in this sage green kitchen is very subtle, for a light yet modest effect in the space that still stands out from the white walls in an elegant way. The sage green kitchen cabinets are continued underneath the window towards the hallway and finished off with a beige limestone countertop and chrome hardware for a modern effect.

While the left side of the kitchen has upper cabinets as well, the right side has just the stove hood, which is wrapped in a white cover to make it blend into the white walls.

How to find the best sage green for kitchen cabinets

Don’t have the opportunity to remodel your kitchen yet you still want to have a sage green kitchen? You can always use a paint color on your existing cabinets and give them a little makeover.

To achieve a lighter sage green look on your kitchen cabinets like in some of the examples, go for a muted green like Mizzle from Farrow and Ball* or Guilford Green* by Benjamin Moore. Cromarty Farrow and ball kitchen cabinets are worth a try as well if you are looking for a muted soft effect.

If you are looking for a bold, dark effect, go for a darker green paint color like Pewter green from Sherwin Williams, which pairs up nicely with warm woods and metals.

To find the true green that matches your kitchen space, always work with a sample of the sage green paint colors to see how the color pairs up with the natural lights and existing materials in the space. If you find the right shade and tone, you will love sage green as a kitchen color.

Blue is such a modern and trendy color for a kitchen and you can find this cool color tone in many creative kitchen examples. Blue kitchen cabinets can lift up the design of any regular kitchen, or a more subtle blue kitchen island combined with another color on the main cabinets can be such a beautiful color play that enhances the look and design of the space.

Below I compiled a list of the most inspiring kitchens with blue cabinets. The designs come in many different layouts, with different material compositions and in different shades of blue. Blue cabinets or a blue island complement well with white marble or stainless steel, which enhance the cool undertones of paint, while warm gold and wood tints tend to balance out the look and add warmth.

A blue kitchen island and stainless steel appliances

This beautiful shaker kitchen with navy blue cabinets and a blue kitchen island combines wonderfully with the thin white marble countertop and a low marble backsplash to finish things off. The upper area of the kitchen has been kept white for a light look that matches the light wood floor.

The stainless steel appliances enhance the cool undertones of the deep blue cabinets and the steel comes back in the subtle handles on the cabinets as well.

A shaker kitchen with dark blue cabinets and limestone countertops

This beautiful studio home kitchen has deep, yet slightly pale blue kitchen cabinets in a shaker design with a layout that goes high up to make optimal use of this space in this small studio apartment. The limestone countertops add a warm touch to the space and complement the flooring very nicely. The blue kitchen cabinets start at floor level and continue all the way up to the ceiling for an elegant effect.

A blue kitchen with a light blue kitchen island and a beige shiplap wall

I love the combination of the deep blue in the kitchen cabinets and the lighter blue kitchen island with the grey marble countertop. This combination is interesting in and of itself, yet the beige shiplap wall adds yet another interesting element to this kitchen.

The blue of the cabinets is continued in a glass vitrine next to the dining table and the chrome and cognac leather pulls finish off this look very nicely.

via Historiska Hem

Light blue cabinets combined with white marble and stainless steel

This beautiful home has a subtle yet characterful light blue kitchen with steel handles and white marble countertops combined with a low marble backsplash. The marble brings out the cool tones in the space even more and the minimal design of the cabinets works well with this color palette.

via Alvhem

A pale blue kitchen with a blue kitchen island

This beautiful pale blue kitchen is from the Real shaker kitchen range of Devol kitchens and I love the color palette of the pale blue combined with the white marble, the off-white walls (‘Pale Nutmeg’ from the Dulux Heritage Collection), and the brass on the cabinet handles. The brass comes back as a backsplash at the stove as well for a cohesive look.

The blue island completes the kitchen and other than holding the sink, you can also sit at the breakfast bar with two people. The flooring has been painted in Cornforth White by Farrow & Ball* which gives the space a light look and highlights the all-blue kitchen in a subtle way.

via DeVOL

Navy blue combined with a brown marble countertop

The combination of the cool tones in the cabinets and the beautiful warm brown tones in the marble countertop and backsplash is so powerful in this turn-of-the-century apartment. The palette is pretty dark altogether, so the chrome hardware and faucet add a fresh and lighter touch to the space.

Deep blue paint combined with a subway tile backsplash

The kitchen in this beautiful Swedish home has such a beautiful combination of materials. The white tiles with black grout contrast so nicely with the blue kitchen cabinets, the beige wall, and the exposed brick section in the dining area of this kitchen.

I like the clean touch the chrome handles add to the dark blue kitchen cabinets and the white countertops make the transition between the blue paint on the cabinets and the beige paint on the wall smooth in a way. The galley layout of the kitchen is perfect for this space.

A blue island as a separator combined with beige kitchen cabinets

In this majestic living kitchen, the blue kitchen island is used to separate the living area from the kitchen. Rather than combining the blue islands with more blue kitchen cabinets, the design looks more balanced and subtle with the two-tone color choice.

Shaker cabinets with blue painted combined with a subway tile backsplash

This Swedish home has a large kitchen with the most beautiful herringbone flooring. The warm tones of the wood floors are contrasted with the cool undertones of the blue kitchen cabinets and brightened up with the white tile backsplash. Upper cabinets are only used on the wall furthest from the window and finished off with white trim on top. This makes the layout of the kitchen much lighter and I like the floating shelf that has been covered with the same blue paint color.

A wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling light blue kitchen

I love the way this light blue kitchen covers the entire wall, giving it a very minimal and seamless look. This minimal style of the light blue kitchen cabinets and the white marble countertops and backsplash has been contrasted with the bentwood chairs at the dining table and the colorful rug underneath.

Blue kitchen cabinets with gold accents and sage green walls

The blue kitchen combined with a natural wood kitchen island in this old station house is such a masterpiece. Half the kitchen walls have been lined with subway tile, which goes over into the sage green paint on the upper part. The deep blue color of the cabinets is enhanced with beautiful gold accents in the handles, which make a beautiful focal point in the space. The gold faucet and the subtle gold light fixtures add elegance, while the kitchen island adds a timeless look to the space.

A light blue and blue-green kitchen with green flooring

The kitchen in this characterful home has a beautiful mix of light teal and light blue kitchen cabinets combined with teal flooring. The light blue cabinets work wonderfully together with the green-blue tints, the wood countertops, and the cognac leather of the dining chairs. Such a characterful space full of color trends and personality.

A muted deep blue kitchen with copper finishes

The muted blue color on this Sebastian Cox Kitchen from deVOL works wonderfully together with the copper countertops and backsplash, which also comes back in the small detail of the cabinet handles. The walls have been painted in a lighter blue tint, which matches the vitrine cupboard that has been hung on the wall.

A classic blue kitchen with a ceiling-high subway tile wall

While blue cabinets tend to work a bit more modern, the blue kitchen in this beautiful apartment has a bit more of a rustic and classic look. The white porcelain sink combined with the vintage round dining table and the wood open shelving adds a cozy touch to this space and I think the little pendant light above the table finishes off the look in such a perfect way.

via Stadshem

Blue paint on modest shaker cabinets with gold accents

This blue kitchen is finished off with subway tile as well, yet I think the way the coffee corner has been finished off with the same tile is quite interesting. The exposed brick wall and the gold handles on the cabinets warm up the cool tones of the blue kitchen and the gold faucet finishes the look off nicely.

A blue kitchen island, stainless steel appliances, and limestone countertops

This beautiful Swedish home has a characterful blue kitchen with limestone countertops and a blue kitchen island that separates the kitchen from the living area in an elegant way. The limestone is also used as a backsplash and the stainless steel appliances cabinet handles and faucet add a clean and elegant touch to the space.

A light blue kitchen island in an all-white attic apartment

The blue kitchen island is the center of this living kitchen and also the biggest element in terms of layout. The walls have quite an awkward shape, yet the kitchen has been fitted in perfectly. The light blue kitchen island also serves as a separator between the dining area and the kitchen and I like that the back side of the blue kitchen island has open shelving for the most cherished porcelain pieces.

The stainless steel countertops match so nicely with the modern color palette of the kitchen and give it a clean look.

A blue kitchen with a vintage dining table

Stained blue kitchen cabinets made out of oak

The stained oak upper cabinets in this beautiful kitchen create an interesting contrast with the lower cabinets in blue. The beautiful limestone countertop finishes it off nicely and connects the two-toned upper and lower cabinets together. The kitchen island is fully made out of the same limestone as the countertops and backsplash and I think the pendant lights with black detailing finish it all off perfectly.

Navy blue kitchen cabinets with white marble countertops and a kitchen island

This classy navy blue kitchen works so well in this turn-of-the-century space and complements the wall paneling and crown molding perfectly. The navy blue cabinets are finished off with white marble countertops and chrome hardware for a classy look with clean lines.

The kitchen modules are spread over one single wall, with a blue kitchen island in the middle, leaving ample space for a spacious dining table with beautiful Black Carl Hansen & Son Wishbone chairs on the other side.

Blue shaker cabinets and open shelving in the same color
