35 Green Kitchen Cabinet Ideas for a Fresh Start in 2024

Brother-sister design duo Ramin and Pamela Shamshiri chose Farrow & Ball’s earthy Dyrehaven green for this laid-back kitchen in Southern California. White shiplap walls and pale timber floors keep the look organic and effortless.

Just outside this Woodstock, New York, kitchen designed by White Webb are acres of “forever wild” forest. The designers wanted to bring nature’s magic into the cooking space too, so they created a luminous green mosaic backsplash and added a lacquered island to match. Its shiny texture reflects light and all of those woodsy views.

When Nozawa first set eyes upon the kitchen in this recent Bay Area project, the entire space was painted in a dusty shade of blue. “As a result the space was dark and heavy feeling,” she tells us. The solution? To douse the space in white and paint the central island a fresh shade of green. And, in her view, you can never have too much of a good thing: “I’m working on a kitchen right now where all the bottom cabinets (and the island) are oak wood, and the upper cabinets will be a rich emerald green—but our countertops will be a very colorful green marble!”

This look may not be for the faint of heart, but it certainly suits the energy designer Leah Ring wanted to foster in her California desert retreat. Here in the kitchen, she painted the cabinets and island in a zippy shade of acid green—her favorite color—and selected floor tile and blue accents to take the look over the top. “It’s great for creative work,” she tells us. “But it’s so fun, it can be hard to concentrate.”

Jewelry-box textures and colors inspired ELLE DECOR A-List Titan Kelly Wearstler when she was designing a New York City pad for actor Cameron Diaz. And what better jewel than emerald for the kitchen? Here, the color got a Midas touch thanks to brass trim and a matching backsplash.

This English kitchen may be in one of the most charming country houses we’ve ever seen, but owner and Toast CEO Suzie de Rohan Willner looked to the space’s continental cousins for inspo: “I wanted a very practical kitchen that suited the house but also reminded me of France,” she told us. And that resulted in the vivid green cabinets, painted in Farrow & Ball’s ultra-fresh Emerald.
