5 general rules

Creating a "green design" kitchen you need to keep in mind a few recommendations:

1. Ideally, if you are in the planning phase of a green kitchen design, then it is advisable to start with headset selection, furniture, apron, countertops and technology, and only then begin to search for tones of paint or wallpaper;
2. With all the universality of green, you need to consider some of the subtleties of applying its shades. Bright green tones (lime, ripe pear color, chartreuse) are not desirable for decorating large surfaces. With such active shades you can draw only an accent wall in the kitchen of a discreet scale (example in the photo below). And dark green ones (myrtle, coniferous, aspragus, etc.), on the contrary, are revealed on large surfaces.

3. For the design of the kitchen, facing the south, green tones with a greater share of blue should be used, that is: turquoise, mint, gray-green, jade, malachite, emerald, mossy. And for kitchens facing north, green shades with a predominant yellow note, that is, olive, marsh, lime, chartreuse, pear, are suitable.

4. Try to stick to the rule: muffled, dusty, and also deep, dark shades are appropriate in the interior of strict, classictraditional minimalistic or male kitchens.

The predominance of clear, bright colors is more suitable for modern styles, for example, Scandinavian. Although, this is probably not the rule, but only a recommendation. Take a look at the following photo of a classic and at the same time modern dining room.Pistachio and lime combined with a beige background and accents in the form of orange and pink look quite harmonious.

5. If large spaces can be made out in any range, then small kitchens can be made only with a predominance of light shades. For example, the kitchen may be white, and the walls are light green. Or vice versa: the kitchen is green and the walls are white. If this is a green wallpaper, then they should have an unobtrusive pattern that does not “eat” the space (photo below).

Combination with white - universal and win-win

In order not to get tired of the abundance of bright shades of lime, pear, grass and orange, use them in a ratio of 1: 3. The best background for this union is white, and inclusions of pink, yellow, blue shades can dilute it.

Combination with pink - for spring mood in the kitchen and in the shower

In nature, pink, like the color of roses, peonies, tulips, sakura and other flowers, is always adjacent to green. Therefore, this is another harmonious combination that is often used in interior design.
