Here are some fantastic ideas for introducing green cabinets into your kitchen.
Choose the right shade.
There are hundreds upon hundreds of different shades of green, from dark to light, from bright to muted, and it's important you choose the right shade for your kitchen. After all, kitchen cabinets tend to have a long lifespan, which means they’ll become a fixture within your home for years to come - meaning you won’t want to regret your decision a few months down the line because you’ve chosen a color that isn’t quite right.
You should base your shade choice on other colors you want to feature within your kitchen so that you can ensure they complement each other well. For example, if you’ve decided that green is the dominant color, you may want to pair it with white or cream shades. Alternatively, if you’d like your green cabinets to accent other colors, you might want to pair them with darker colors, such as black.
While different shades of green filter in and out of popularity, sage green is particularly popular at this moment in time. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, it appears to be the perfect middle ground between pastel and light shades - meaning that it can be used alongside a range of other colors and can fit nicely into any theme. As such, sage green may be the perfect choice for your kitchen cabinets! If you have questions, the right interior designer can always help!
Consider Different Cabinet Styles.
Another important factor to consider when choosing cabinets for your kitchen is the style of cabinet - which could vary depending on your budget or the space you have available to you.
Popular kitchen cabinet styles include:
- Flat Panel Kitchen Cabinets. As the name suggests, this type of kitchen cabinet has a smooth, flat surface, and they are often featured in sleek, modern kitchens.
- Tall Standing Kitchen Cabinets. If you have high ceilings, you may also want to install tall-standing kitchen cabinets, which not only make for an interesting use of space but also provide you with plenty of storage options.
- Beaded Kitchen Cabinets. Beaded kitchen cabinets feature some kind of beading or trimming on the outside, which adds a new texture to the cabinet itself. They are particularly popular in kitchens with a more rustic theme.
- Distressed Kitchen Cabinets. Distressed kitchen cabinets are designed to look ‘older’ or worn down and again look great in rustic or antique-style kitchens.
- Glass kitchen cabinets. Kitchen cabinets that also feature planes of glass (with green frames) are perfect for creating kitchens that feel bright and spacious. It also makes it easier for you to see what is stored within your cupboard or to showcase specific items.
Choose the right materials.
Another essential factor to consider when choosing new cabinets for your kitchen is the material they are made from. Of course, your primary concern here will be finding a color you like - but the base material is important when it comes to the durability of both the color and the cabinets themselves.
Popular kitchen cabinet materials include:
- Plywood
- Solid Wood
- Wooden Veneer
- Plastic
- Laminate
There are pros and cons to every material. However, they are all known for being relatively durable and resistant to both wear and tear and water damage. As a result, your choice of material in this regard may be based purely on the aesthetic value and your own personal tastes.
Color Match other kitchen fixtures.
If you’ve selected green cabinets for your kitchen but have other features/fixtures to install, such as range hoods, you may want to look into color-match range hoods - as from an aesthetic perspective; there’s nothing worse than poorly matched shades. Color-matching your appliances will help you to design a kitchen that is cohesive and pleasing to the eye.
Alternatively, you could select a range hood that stands out from the rest of your kitchen and serves as the space’s main focal point. To achieve this goal, you may want to consider installing a brass or copper range hood.
Find inspiration from others.
Another way in which you can make it a little easier to find the right green kitchen cabinets for your home is by checking out a green kitchen cabinet gallery online, where you will be able to see different ways in which interior designers, homeware companies, and homeowners have styled green kitchen cabinets.
Alternatively, you could check out Pinterest boards and interior design magazines.
