Emerald, mint, lime, sage green kitchens… I love the colour shade in all it’s tones. I’m even thinking about how I can green into my own home renovation (which is slowly but surely coming together), so you can imagine my joy when I saw Manisha and Sumit’s green kitchen project (above). The cabinetry is so gorgeous and on-trend it just had to be our March 2020 cover home. Plus, it’s gone straight onto my moodboard for when the time comes to plan my own kitchen.
It’s fair to say that black and navy kitchens have been such a hit in recent years, confirmed by my Instagram feed, and probably yours too. If you love the moody style, they aren’t going anywhere just yet. But if you’re after something a little bit different, it seems that anything from dark to sage green kitchens could be the trend for 2021.
Dramatic and luxurious in its darker iterations, modern and bright in its paler shades, there are many ways use green in the kitchen. So to give you some inspiration I’ve collated a look book of all things green (kitchens-wise anyway) – be warned, kitchen envy awaits!

Sage green kitchens will work perfectly for a timeless and classic look, like this one from Laura Ashley. I love this tone paired with natural wooden worktops and flooring.

Some might call it blue, others green or perhaps a mixture of the two, but whichever category it falls into, teal is gaining popularity as a kitchen colour trend too. It creates a slightly fresher feel to some of the deeper green tones. We love this Blakes London kitchen.
