It is no secret that green kitchen is the dream of many housewives. And this is not surprising. After all, a gentle light green color fills the room with freshness and energizes. Such shades are pleasing to the eye and invigorate. I recall the young spring grass, fresh leaves, lime and olives.
Modern kitchens look very impressive in light green tones. They are concise and expressive at the same time. Most often, this color is used in the interior in the style of Provence. It is much less common in a classic-style kitchen. But this is only a trend and a matter of taste for the owners.
Light green background or furniture?
Kitchens in light green color should have one main color element of the interior - walls, furniture or floor. If you decide to make a light green floor, you will get an eco-style that is extremely popular now - every day you will have the opportunity to walk along the gentle green leaves.
Admirers of modern trends (pop art, hi-tech, modern, minimalism) will certainly order a light green kitchen with glossy facades, and fans of Provence and country - paneled facades of a slightly faded shade. Classics lovers need to think carefully before deciding what is more important to them: color or style. After all, the classic accepts greens only as small inclusions in the form of accessories (it can be textiles, a lamp, a vase of fruit or a picture).
Light green furniture
A competent approach to this shade can transform any interior of the kitchen, regardless of its style. If you decide to dominate the design of a kitchen set with facades in such colors, then for the general background we recommend that you use muted, calm shades. The brighter and more intense the main color, the simpler the “decorations” should be - an apron made of white tiles or frosted glass, white walls, brushed metal fittings.
In the dining area, you can put a simple-shaped little table with a light glass top on perfectly flat legs. Support eye-catching furniture facades with accents and accessories. It can be a lamp with a light green shade, dishes, a pattern on a tablecloth or curtains. The corner kitchen looks interesting. The light green surface of the cabinets goes well with glasses and vases made of transparent glass, the dazzling sheen of metal utensils, and snow-white porcelain.
Choose an apron
Designers believe that light green kitchens allow you to choose from many different apron design options. This is due to the non-aggressiveness of this color, its softness. Below we will present several options, and you will decide which apron for light green kitchen suits you best.
- The most versatile of them is white, cream, beige or coffee, which is suitable for all kitchens without exception.
- An apron of "metallic" color. It is most suitable for a modern or high-tech kitchen.
- The salad dressing apron can be black or dark brown. It will go well with the facades of furniture.
- You can make an apron of a neutral color, but interspersed with light green (small pattern or strokes). It will emphasize the color of the facades, while remaining a contrasting element. In this case, you can use tiles, mosaics, skinali or PVC panels.
- But the glass false panel with the photo printing (skinal) applied to it looks especially attractive. Most often in this case, choose a natural theme, which suggests the presence of shades of green.
Design options
Light green kitchen can be decorated in a variety of ways. It all depends on your imagination and the chosen color. If you decide to focus on furniture, then all other interior elements should be gentle pastel colors. We already talked about the white apron. It can be made of frosted glass. In this case, brushed hardware with aluminum parts is also welcome.
Today, many create a light green kitchen made of wood. For this, panel cases of pale green color are selected. Elegance will add accessories interspersed with ceramics, as well as natural sand or gray-beige tones of upholstered furniture. The lunch group in this embodiment is also made of wood. It should be with carved backs of chairs and a wooden tabletop. The table can be covered with light green lace or white tablecloth. Place a fruit vase on it.
The salad kitchen looks interesting, in which the furniture, covered with oak veneer, with smooth and simple doors is emphasized by a light green apron. In this case, try to pick up furniture in a natural honey color. You will be delighted with this color combination.
Light green cuisine: which wallpaper to choose?
This is a question that interests many homeowners. If there is a salad set, the wall decoration should be extremely calm. Therefore, preference should be given to pastel colors of paintings with a smooth texture. The more saturated the shade of the furniture, the brighter the walls should be. The following colors are more suitable for this than others:
- white;
- pale blue;
- light beige;
- cream;
- creamy.
A combination of dark brown and light green can be considered an ideal option. But it can be used only on one wall (for example, make an apron). What colors does the green kitchen not tolerate? First of all, blue, which in combination with greenery causes a feeling of anxiety.
The glossy facades of the headset can (and should) be tinted with the help of light wallpapers with a small, barely noticeable pattern. Beige wallpapers with a golden print applied to them look very original. For wall decoration in light green kitchens, plain matte coatings are suitable.
Texture
Finishing the main surfaces with textured material is suitable for rooms with a large area, and you should know that it does not combine with the glossy facades of the headset. The kitchen in light green colors looks very fresh when the set is made of natural wood of light breeds, and the walls are decorated with olive or pistachio textured wallpaper. It is equally important that the wall design seamlessly resonates with textiles. You can choose a similar ornament or color scheme.
The combination of accessories and the design of the main surfaces will create a pleasant atmosphere in your kitchen, a spring mood. She will become a favorite place of your relatives and friends.
Choose curtains
All housewives are well aware that window decoration in any room sometimes plays a decisive role. Without it, the room seems faceless and incomplete even after a very expensive repair. Therefore, the choice of curtains should be approached with great responsibility. Immediately make a reservation that no matter what interior style you choose for your kitchen, the curtains should not be too voluminous, burdened by countless frills and ruffles (especially for small rooms). It is desirable that they be made of natural fabrics. Their color should be in harmony (but in no case coincide) with the shade of the walls.
Laconic models of all shades of green (warm), yellow-green, beige and white will perfectly fit into the interior of light green color.
Lighting
Another important issue that cannot be ignored. Modern kitchens are unthinkable without good lighting. This primarily applies to the work area. But this does not cause owners of salad kitchens any questions. Typically, spotlights that provide directional light are used to solve this problem. In rooms with low ceilings, it is better to refuse the central chandelier. The abundance of artificial lighting sometimes irritates the eyes, so you should ensure the maximum influx of natural light.
But in the evening, you can’t do without electricity. We recommend using wall lamps with light green shades, sconces.
In this article we gave only general recommendations on the design of light green cuisine. What it will be in your home is up to you. Do not be afraid to experiment and decorate it with your own hands. Her coziness and comfort will depend on this.
