White and Green kitchen ideas

A dark green and white kitchen is a bold choice to add a touch of drama to your home. A dark bottle green colour scheme adds effortless sophistication without being as potentially overwhelming as all-black units. By adding white accents to brighten the space, like white subway tiles or a white quartz countertop, you keep the space from being too dark or oppressive. We’d suggest incorporating polished gold and brass elements into the space – play up these metallic tones in your handles and hardware, barstools or lighting for an elegant finish.

A sage green and white kitchen is timeless and welcoming – more vibrant than an all-white kitchen but not as domineering as a darker tone of green might be. Sage green adds a comforting and comfortable presence that’s balanced out by a cooler-toned white, making for a chilled space – ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A matte-finish sage green on your units is perfectly complimented by a white countertop, white-grouted subway tiles and open shelving, especially with green accents and natural elements to ground the space.  

One of the easiest ways to incorporate a green and white kitchen design into your home is by adding greenery. If you already have a white or cream kitchen , you can liven up your space simply by adding trailing and hanging plants across your kitchen, especially on open shelving or from hanging utensil racks. Add vases on your countertops filled with greenery like eucalyptus and ferns, or a practical and pretty mini indoor herb garden bursting with fresh-scented rosemary, thyme, or sage – either way, bringing the outdoors into your kitchen is a natural breath of fresh air.

Don’t be afraid to combine colours with your green and white kitchen ideas – no-one said you’re limited to one shade of green! Embrace the many-toned green hues of the forest to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere, across your walls, countertops, units and flooring. Try a rich and vibrant dark green tiled or vinyl floor, fading up into lighter green floor units and white cabinets above your countertops. This creates a gorgeous gradient effect that opens up your space, while still combining chic white and green tones.

If you prefer your interior design style to be a little bit more minimalist, then keep things light and airy – base your colour scheme around a white kitchen design, and introduce pops of lighter green to add interest and colour to the room. You can incorporate green more subtly – for example, keep just the base of your bottom units in a light sage green, or paint the back of your open cabinets in a mint or pastel green hue that catches the eye without overwhelming your light, open space.

Shaker-style cabinets combine perfectly with the softer tones of a white and green kitchen design. Don’t be afraid to go a little bit darker - a dark forest green is a perfect complement to the clean, bold lines of a shaker-style kitchen . Couple with high-shine white marble countertops, to bounce plenty of light around the room and keep things bright. Brushed metallic accents on your cupboard handles, fixtures and fittings add a luxe touch – and for an extra special touch, choose cookware in the same shade for a smart, cohesive look.

One of the loveliest things about a green and white kitchen is that you can combine the rich and unique feel of green tones with homey touches to create a really welcoming space. Add a throw carpet to your dining space and bring texture into your kitchen area with open shelving, so you can show off your favourite art, cookbooks, or even just your plates and bowls. Combine rich wood units and shelves with a textured splashback, grounded by calming green for a lovely, layered look that welcomes people in.

Want a real feature focal point in your kitchen? Accessorise with appliances in green. From lime green stand mixers to mint green toasters and fridges, a green appliance is a fun addition to a white kitchen and a conversation starter, as well as effortlessly blending in to your green and white kitchen design. This subtle yet effective pop of colour adds a unique and quirky vibe to the space – and if you decide you want a change, it’s easier to switch out a single appliance than an entire splashback or set of cupboards.

Subway tiles are a timeless choice for kitchen splashbacks, and by styling yours in shades of green, you can add a fresh charm to your kitchen. Sage green or mint green subway tiles are perfect for a retro look, with white grouting for a light finish or dark grey or black edging for a more dramatic look. With either option, carry the colour scheme into your accessories and fixtures, with black handles or white decorative elements to match your grouting. A subway tile splashback is a subtle yet stylish backdrop for your kitchen, providing a classic aesthetic.
