16 Green Kitchen Designs That Feel Timeless and Trend Forward

Give these fresh kitchen ideas the green light.

When designing a kitchen, incorporating green elements can bring the space a fresh and timeless appeal. Green kitchens offer a wide range of color options, from soft pastels to bold emeralds, allowing for a personalized and unique look. Whether you go all-in with green surfaces or start small with green accents, there are various ways to introduce this color into your kitchen design.

One approach is considering a green island or backsplash as a focal point. Mixing and matching different shades of green can create a harmonious and visually appealing kitchen design. From key lime to pale jade, the possibilities are endless. Additionally, integrating stylish green lighting fixtures can further enhance the overall aesthetic of your green kitchen. Scroll on for gorgeously green kitchen ideas to help you get started.

Go Full Tilt

Rebecca Gibbs Design's gorgeously green kitchen blends style, functionality, and beauty. Sage green cabinets add elegance, while glossy emerald star-and-cross tile walls with brass Clemente Wall Lights create visual impact. The Prescott Medium Mobile Chandelier over the airy island balances sturdiness and lightness.

Air It Out

Incorporate different hues of green, ranging from key lime to light jadeite, to craft a balanced green kitchen layout like this one from Cortney Bishop Design. A Lucien Functional Wall Light by Kelly Wearstler adorns a window, where open shelving attracts attention to the native palms that keep the color story going.

Make It a Perfect Pairing

Transform your kitchen with a perfect backdrop of evergreen cabinetry, complemented by a white oak center island. The West of Main Design team adds texture and warmth with cognac leather barstools while enhancing the ambiance with a pair of brass Morris Medium Lanterns for a touch of elegance and shine.

Make the Most of Every Corner

Utilize every space in the kitchen to create a verdant bar area with sage cabinetry, beveled wood counters, and classic brass hardware. Here, the Kipling House Interiors team flanks the window with charming, curved millwork and completes the look with a single brass Boston Pendant by Chapman & Myers.

Join the Club

To achieve a similar timeless and trend-forward look in your kitchen like this one designed by Jack Creasy, consider incorporating asparagus green millwork with bold marble surfaces, carnelian leather barstools, and a pair of stylish Hicks Extra Large Pendants. This combination will add a touch of sophistication and modernity to your kitchen space, creating a classic yet contemporary feel.

Build a Jewel Box

Create a glamorous space with emerald cabinetry and gold accents like this butler’s pantry by Kim Scodro Interiors. The Hendricks Small Globe Pendant by Ralph Lauren is the perfect finishing touch to tie the room together.

Get Happy

Combine bright white cabinetry with a cornice-detailed pea-green island for a touch of traditional charm. Designer Tori Alexander adds a custom Roman shade at the window to complement the color palette perfectly. The Camille Medium Linear Chandelier by Suzanne Kasler, positioned over the island, adds a hint of elegance and shimmer to the space.

Create a Secret Garden

Transform a butler's pantry into a green oasis with mirrored backsplashes. In this hidden service area, renowned kitchen designer Jean Stoffer makes an era-appropriate statement with a lighting fixture like the Cristol Small Single Flush Mount by AERIN.

Pick Your Star Player

Let soft sage cabinetry highlight other design elements like deeply veined marble countertops. Jamie-Lynn Sigler's square kitchen island allowed her design team of Erin Fetherston and Phillips House's Brett and Kara Phillips to get creative in this calming green kitchen. The brass hardware on the cabinets adds subtle sophistication, while the Clemente Wall Light by AERIN creates a gallery effect on the cantilevered shelf below.

Pare it Back

Take cues from Kate Walker Design and keep your kitchen clean and sophisticated with gray-green cabinetry and black accents. Tie the room together with a complementary stylish lighting fixture like the Darlana Medium Linear Lantern by Chapman & Myers.

Leave Room to Play

Experiment with natural tones and add elements that dial up the drama in the kitchen. Here, a foggy green kitchen by designer Stephanie Sabbe is layered to the hilt with a pedimented range hood, end-grain butcher block table, and lots of comfortable seating. Incorporate statement pieces like the Holborn Large Lantern by Suzanne Kasler for traditional charm.

Stick With It

This kitchen scullery by Kelly Scott Interiors is functional and stylish, ideal for washing dishes or food prep. The green cabinetry with brass details and an apron sink creates a classic vintage look. The Milton Road Flush Mount illuminates a pastoral scene, enhancing the farmhouse aesthetic.

Hit the Sweet Spot

Add mint-green cabinetry and floral elements for a sweet and inviting kitchen design like this by Monica Lavin of Lavin Label. The mercury glass of the Lorford Smoke Bell Lantern complements the polished nickel accents. At the same time, the aged iron highlights the bronze Elkins Sconces above the sink and provides a lovely contrast to the soft palette – a favorite designer trick.

Change Your Tune

In a bright kitchen, use the island to create a new mood. In this space by MIF Design, balance white tile, countertops, and cabinets with dark marble on a rich green island. Warmth is added with a trio of tractor stools, while a pair of Katie Globe Pendants offer a subtle glow.
