Green kitchen: features of choice, combination, 60 photos

Features of choice

Before deciding on a green color for kitchen furniture, it is best to correlate it with the color of the apron and appliances at the design stage. The advantages of the interior of the kitchen in green colors include:

1. Calming effect, tested by experts and confirmed by time, as well as creating an atmosphere of comfort.
2. A green kitchen set will suit any style of the kitchen and emphasize it if the rules for combining colors and textures are followed.
3. The light green shade of the kitchen unit (lime, lime, mint) visually increases the area of ​​the room, which is important for small kitchens in apartments.

The green facade of the kitchen will look loser in case of improper selection of a companion color and a combination of more than three colors in the same space. In order not to cause trouble with the selection of colors, you need to follow a few rules.

For example, bright colors are suitable for emphasizing, but not for the design of a kitchen worktop or solid facade. Dark green (coniferous or myrtle shade) reveals itself nobly on a large area of ​​the desktop or upper headset cases.

In the design of a small kitchen, it is important to combine shades of green with light shades (white or light beige), while in a large space you can combine green with different colors.

For "hot" kitchens, where the windows face the sunny side, it is best to choose a cold facade color (mint, emerald, olive, moss color). For a "cold" room, it is worth choosing warm shades (lime, pear, chartreuse). The matte, muffled and monophonic design of the headset is typical of a classic kitchen, and the abundance of gloss, print and wavy geometry is typical of modern design.

Kitchen style with a green set

Green is represented by a wide palette of tones that will be appropriate in a particular style.

• A classic-style suite made of expensive wood will emphasize the simplicity and luxury of the kitchen with the help of a monophonic design of deep colors and matte surfaces.
• For the Scandinavian style, natural and pure tones of a warm palette are suitable.
• Country style involves a combination of pale and rich colors with wood and stone.
• The English and Provence style will be recognizable through décor and olive kitchen furniture with a distinctive finish for the cupboards and dining group.
• A modern kitchen can combine several colors, for example, a white top and a green bottom with a black apron.

The choice of the shape of the headset to the size of the kitchen

The kitchen in green can be of different shapes and configurations. The choice of shape option depends on the size of the room and its functionality (for example, it can be a cooking area combined with a dining room).

Linear

A linear kitchen unit occupies the distance between two walls.It will be appropriate in a rectangular room and small narrow kitchens, where corner modules can conceal the space. This layout makes it possible to place a dining table. The linear kitchen can be of different lengths and complemented by home appliances.

Angular

A corner kitchen set will help to save space due to a capacious corner cabinet and a pencil case, as well as placing a sink or stove in the corner. Such a kitchen can be made in any style, as well as additionally combined with a bar.

U-shaped

The U-shaped kitchen set is located along three walls and is suitable for a rectangular and square medium-sized room, as well as a studio apartment. This arrangement of furniture makes it possible to install a sink and a refrigerator near the stove, without violating the rules of zoning.

It is difficult to combine a dining group with a U-shaped kitchen set due to a high pile of furniture, so it is better to host guests and dine with a large family in a separate dining room or living room. In a small or narrow kitchen, a p-shaped layout will be appropriate, provided that there is a play of contrasting colors (for example, a green suite, a black countertop and a white apron).

Island

The island kitchen set is exclusively suitable for large spaces and kitchens above average size. The kitchen island can serve as an additional workplace, with a sink and internal cabinets for storing wine bottles or utensils, and can be a dining table and move on wheels.

The island fits well in both classical and modern style. The peninsular option (adding an island to one side of the headset) combines a storage system and a bar counter for quick breakfasts.

Materials and quality of kitchen furniture: wood, MDF, plastic

In the kitchen, there is a frequent temperature difference and high humidity, so the choice of wall decoration, quality of the frame and furniture facades should be approached with special attention. Particleboard, MDF, wood with additional coating are suitable as a frame.

• Facade of wood can be completely made of wood, or with MDF in the interior of the headset. Of the advantages, environmental friendliness, a presentable appearance and a long service life are noted. Cons are finicky cleaning and a limited selection of shades of green.

• Kitchen facade made of MDF boards with enamel coating provides easy cleaning from dirt (from dust to greasy spray), it is also resistant to moisture and does not absorb odors. It is made in any shade of green in a matte and glossy version. The disadvantages include the loss of color under the influence of sunlight and the frequent cleaning of fingerprints.
• Film coated MDF possesses the same properties, sufficient wear resistance, but over time the film will fade, and in the area of ​​the stove and oven can peel off.

• Plastic kitchen facades resistant to detergents, moisture and sunlight, have a high service life and is presented in all shades of green. Particleboard or MDF panels are taken as a basis, which are tightly sealed with plastic, and the ends are finished with aluminum profiles or plastic edging. The minuses include the remnants of fingerprints, the unnatural origin of the material.

The facade of the kitchen can be glossy, matte or combined with the addition of a picture on the film of furniture.

• Glossy surfaces reflect light well, therefore they are suitable for visually increasing the space of a small kitchen. Gloss looks impressive in modern kitchens in the style of hi-tech, loft, art deco. Glossy kitchen furniture cannot be combined with a stretch ceiling and should not be combined with a glossy apron or floor tiles. The green glossy facade looks best with a discreet matte apron of neutral or contrasting color.

• Matt the kitchen is more practical, it is not so clearly visible drips or fingerprints and splashes. Such furniture is suitable for creating a classic style, minimalism, Scandinavian style and Provence. Matte surfaces conceal the space, so in a small kitchen a green facade needs to be combined only with light tones of wallpaper.

• IN combined The gloss can only be on the upper kitchen cabinets, and the lower cabinets will be matte or with a wooden texture.

Rules for choosing an apron and countertops

Since green kitchen furniture is attractive in itself, the color of the working apron and countertop should look more restrained and not conflict with the main shade.

According to the color scheme, a white, beige, light coffee apron, which will create an unobtrusive transition, will be a win-win option. It can also be several tones lighter or darker than the color of the furniture. Highly resistant metal apron before washing and its shine are suitable for modern and high-tech style.

Bright green kitchen furniture can be combined with the same bright yellow or purple apron (this option is suitable for a spacious room). The working apron can be made of glossy or matte white tile with bright green grout. For a rustic style, tile with a wood texture in natural colors is suitable. Permissible photo printing on a glass panel, if the facades are plain and matte.

Kitchen worktops can be made in stone (marble, granite) or wood in white, beige, gray and black. For a white-green kitchen, the countertop is better to choose gray or black, the green set goes well with a white countertop. In a small kitchen, it is best to combine the color of the countertops with the color of the apron.

Of the materials that are resistant to moisture, high temperatures and frequent cleaning, laminated particleboard, hardwood (oak, pine), glass, ceramics, stone are suitable.

Room decoration and wall color selection

The choice of color for finishing a kitchen with a green set should be based on the principle of balancing: the brighter the shade, the paler the shade of the walls.

• Walls. Wallpaper for a lime kitchen set should be white or ivory. As an accent, you can use brown or black in detail. The dining area can be decorated with photo wallpaper to match the tone of the furniture. An olive or pistachio set will look good against a background of pale yellow, pastel pink, white and gray wallpapers. Emerald cuisine will look good on the background of dairy, white walls with brown patterns.
• Floor. For the kitchen flooring, it is most practical to choose porcelain tiles in the color of dark wood with a characteristic texture. It can also be a glossy white tile with green decorative mosaic. When choosing linoleum, it is worth paying attention to its strength and resistance to load and the degree of wear resistance.
• Ceiling should be bright with enough lighting. It’s best not to use the addition of green. Glossy ceiling is suitable for a small kitchen with a matte set. For a more classic version, a flat ceiling with a minimum of design is suitable.

Harmonious color combination

The right combination of colors in the headset and a combination with a touch of wallpaper and curtains gives the kitchen an interesting look.

• The most common combination is white green kitchen set. It is suitable for classic design. To such a duet, you can add both dark and light accents in any proportions.

On the picture a white and pistachio kitchen set is shown in the interior of a small kitchen. The combination of these colors makes the room bright and airy.

• Yellow green the facade of the kitchen furniture itself looks bright and self-sufficient, so it can be beaten with purple curtains, or trimmed with white color interior details.

• Green orange the kitchen is combined with white wall decoration without additional texture and patterns.

• Gray green the kitchen is suitable for creating a country style and goes well with the wooden finish of the work area.

• Creates a sense of pristine nature green brown the design of the kitchen set, which together with the wooden lining will emphasize the eco-style of the kitchen.

• Moderate glossy black green a kitchen set can emphasize the elegance and sense of style of the owners of the house. Does not tolerate complements in any third color except white.

When choosing a green kitchen set, you need to choose the appropriate shade and shape that will correspond to the size of the room. A pleasant and unobtrusive color is combined with many shades of the warm and cold spectrum, so replacing the tablecloth and curtains can give the kitchen furniture a new look. In addition, green will always be in fashion, so you can safely experiment with bright and pastel colors.
