Kitchens in green: features of creating an interior

Many people want to have a beautiful and cozy kitchen, and it is also desirable that it cheer up and be "warm" on it. One option is a green kitchen. Natural color, which is a symbol of life and will definitely not leave you indifferent. And how to make it beautiful and comfortable, let's figure it out.

What shade is green?

Green has a lot of shades and tones. From deep and dark malachite, then delicate pistachio or light green. There is also a different approach to interior design, the choice of the "role" of green - the main, additional or accent ... All this allows you to get interiors different in mood, although each of them can be called "green".

Shades of green (note that screen distorts actual colors)

So that the kitchen in green tones meets your expectations and you are not tired of it, decide what kind of atmosphere you want to create: calm, relaxing, invigorating, joyful, warming. The choice of shades depends on this. For a calm atmosphere, soft tones from the "cold" part of the palette are suitable. They can be used as the main ones - for walls, facades. For a warm, warming effect, you can choose one of the shades of the "warm" part. But here you need to look to make it a little: this color can be a kitchen apron, some of the facades, accessories and additions in the kitchen interior of restrained tones - just to bring notes of a bright mood.

Several options to combine with green colors

The list of shades of green is shown in the photo above. But remember that the photo and the screen distort colors a lot. To have an accurate idea, you need to look at the color "live". This can be done in paint stores that have tinting stations. They have a list of colors. There, the distortion is usually minimal.

The role of green in the interior of the kitchen

If you look at the interiors of the kitchen in green tones, you will notice that not only the shades differ, but also the amount of this color. And this is also the moment with which you need to decide. If you already had experience, and you were comfortable in the greenery, you can immediately order furniture and look for a shade for decorating the walls. If you just want to "try" it is best to start with some details.

Kitchen in green tones: not everything should be in this range

As the main

A kitchen in green is not always a monochrome design. Green can be the main color, and then there is a lot of it. It can be accent or complementary. Then it is present only in some details. For example, if walls and furniture facades are painted in greens of different shades, this is the main color (several options in the photo).

There are several important points with this approach. Firstly, in this case, soft, calm shades are chosen. Although the kitchen is a zone of active activity, many also use it as a dining room, and in this case it is better to find something quieter.

Secondly, in such interiors, additional colors (floor, ceiling, countertop) are neutral, and only accents (some accessories) can be bright (but compatible). Red, blue, in some versions, yellow or orange go well with greens. Do not forget about brown or black. Some details of similar bright colors are needed to dilute the green.Oddly enough, this is how it works - bright details draw a significant part of the attention to themselves.

Only the facade or part of it

Only a furniture facade can be green, or even only a part of it - lower or upper cabinets, or only a part of the decoration. There are no restrictions on the choice of shade - if you want, you can at least lime or “toad in love”. But these are the tones that quickly get boring in large numbers. Optimal in this variant are pistachio, mint, green moss, green tea, apple. Furniture in dark green looks interesting: malachite, emerald, jade, blue-green. But the rooms for such shades should be spacious and light, and the rest of the interior should be light and balanced.

Another option is to make only part of the facade green. Modern kitchen sets can be with facades of different colors: the upper and lower cabinets can differ in color and texture. Also, some of the boxes may be of a different color. So as an option - make some of the facades in green tones, and use neutral ones - white as the main ones. gray, beige and all their shades. This is an option for those who are not sure that the greenery will not "strain".

As additional or accent

There is also a way to make sure if you like a kitchen in green tones - to make only easily replaceable interior details like that. These include walls for painting or wallpaper, countertops, some kitchen apron options (plastic, glass, MDF).

Green walls in the kitchen - you can really feel how much you like it

For example, green walls in the kitchen will test the intended shade of the furniture. Repainting walls or re-glueing wallpaper is much faster and cheaper than ordering new facades.

Optionally - a kitchen apron and a countertop

Despite the fact that the facades in the photo above are white, the interior itself cannot be called boring - the bright countertop and apron attract attention. For a harmonious interior, it is worth adding a few details of the same shade in another part of the room - in the area of ​​the table.

Another option for using green as an additional one (the main one is beige-brown)

Two different combined shades in one interior is also a very interesting idea that can be played in different ways. The ideal way is mosaic. She can combine more colors, but the most important thing is not to overdo it.

Apron, walls, countertop - two shades of green with basic white

People living in wooden houses often suffer from monotony - the “wooden” color is everywhere and constantly tiresome. A great way to add a vibrant touch is to paint your work wall green and add accessories in the same shade. They perfectly "dilute" the yellowness of the wood.

For kitchen with clapboard

For those who are wary of even such volumes of greenery, you can offer to hang curtains, a certain amount of kitchen utensils that remain in sight, a couple of accessories (clock, picture, etc.).If the sensations are comfortable, it will be possible to expand the "captured territory".

Most popular combinations

Harmonious color combinations in the interior Is a complex topic. There are different ways to select suitable shades - using the color wheel, but the simplest solution is to use ready-made tables (in the photo below) or choose exactly the same shades as in one of the photos. You can repeat a specific design only if you really like it, but it is advisable to practically "copy" the shades.

Traditional style color tables. The vertical stripe is the primary color

Working with color tables is easy. Choose a shade that will be your main one. It is usually presented as larger than all other stripes on the right or left. From the adjacent smaller rectangles, choose the colors that you want to combine in your interior. But remember that they all fall into three parts:

• The main one is one, sometimes two colors that fill a lot of space. If we talk about the kitchen, then these are walls and a kitchen set. There are three options: walls only, furniture only, and walls + furniture.
• Additional. One or two more shades, of which there are enough. In the kitchen, this is the floor, curtains, dining table, chairs, walls, backsplash, etc.
• Accent. These are the colors of the accessories. Chairs sometimes come here, but mostly these are small details - pictures, watches, cups / bowls, etc.

But looking for tables by key (primary) color is long and problematic. You can do it differently. Find any table that has the shade you like. We consider it the main one, and we select the rest from the line. The colors are 100% compatible here, so everything will be harmonious.

Green and its combinations

For example, you can use the table above. Find the desired shade and select accompanying colors and tones from the line. Everything is extremely simple.

Although you can find unusual combinations in the selection according to the tables, there are several traditional ones that have been tested in many interiors. Some of them are listed below.

With brown

The combination of green and brown shades was taken from nature. It is enough to look at the trees around and you will see the perfect combinations. That is why there are probably so many kitchens in green and brown tones. Usually neutral shades are added to this duo: white, gray, but there may be bright spots in the form of accessories.

Yellow cups, stools are the moment that adds color to a not too bright palette. In such an environment it is cozy, calm and at the same time not boring even in the gray autumn-winter season.

Apple green is accentuated by the warm shade of the floor

The kitchen furniture is green with a white countertop and the floor is warm brown. In general, the interior is perceived as green-brown. And feelings - confidence, dynamism and a certain restraint. They are enhanced by the presence of stainless steel, it also gives the style a modern focus.

With white

A green and white kitchen interior is a great option if you don't like flashy colors and combinations of bright, saturated colors. With white, even the brightest shade does not "load", the feeling of lightness and light still remains, even if dark shades are used.

The classic combination of this solution is green + white + gray. Small amounts of black / brown / red / blue / purple / yellow / orange can be added to them (but not required). These bright touches can radically change the "mood" of the interior.If you lack sunshine in winter or autumn, add bright spots - curtains, tablecloths, a couple of kitchen little things in bright colors. Life will sparkle with new colors!

With gray

Green with gray is the basic color combination. It is suitable for those who prefer a calm, slightly chilly atmosphere. A kitchen in gray-green tones can be decorated in a loft style, modern, classic.

Depending on the rest of the colors, it can turn out to be quite cheerful, or cozy and calm.
