Why Green Kitchens Remain a Design Favourite

The colour green has long transcended fleeting design trends, cementing itself as a timeless presence in the world of interiors. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a growing demand for green kitchens, driven by a universal craving for a closer connection to nature and the creation of serene, joyful spaces within the home.

Why Choose a Green Kitchen?

Green is a colour that has consistently sat at the pinnacle of design trends, and for a good reason. Its ability to balance sophistication with a natural touch ensures its enduring appeal.

“Green is the perfect choice for anyone looking to explore colour while maintaining a timeless, yet uplifting design,” says Tom Howley. “Its calming and mood-enhancing properties make green an ideal colour for the heart of the home. Whether leaning towards calming pastel hues or rich, saturated tones, a green kitchen adds depth and character while remaining effortlessly classic.”

The Essentials of Green Kitchens

A thoughtfully designed green kitchen creates an environment that feels both welcoming, fresh and inspiring. To achieve this balance, it’s vital to understand the unique qualities and versatility of each shade. At Tom Howley, we’ve curated a palette of green paint colours, from soft and tranquil tones to bold and dramatic shades, ensuring a colour that suits every taste and style.

Our bespoke kitchens are meticulously crafted to suit your unique preferences. Among our paint colours, the following greens stand out for their aesthetic appeal and versatility.

Hazy Sky

A delicate hue with soft green-grey tones, Hazy Sky brings a sense of tranquillity to the kitchen. Its subtle sage undertone creates an understated yet sophisticated aesthetic, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a serene and welcoming space. As mid-shade neutrals inspired by misty landscapes continue to rise in popularity, Hazy Sky perfectly encapsulates this calming influence. Whether used across full cabinetry runs or with complementary light neutrals from our palette, this versatile shade lends itself beautifully to multifunctional kitchen environments.

Styling tip: Complement this shade with warm woods, gold-toned metallic accents, and striking veined quartz surfaces for a harmonious and luxurious finish.

Green Meadow

This smoky green-blue exudes cosiness and versatility, making it perfect for those who want a subtle touch of colour without overwhelming the space. Green Meadow pairs beautifully with natural wood tones, marble-effect quartz, and brushed metallics for a grounded look.

Styling tip: Incorporate eclectic accessories and textured fabrics alongside vibrant artwork or lush greenery to accentuate Green Meadow’s earthy, nostalgic appeal. This versatile shade also pairs beautifully with deep reds or warm, rusty tones, creating a characterful yet refined aesthetic.

Moonstone

Moonstone is a soft sage green with a cool blue undertone that enhances natural light, bringing a fresh and airy feel to any space. Particularly well-suited to south-facing rooms filled with sunlight, this versatile shade effortlessly bridges traditional and contemporary styles. Paired with neutrals like Orchid or Tansy, it creates a calming and restorative ambience, perfect for a balanced kitchen design.

Styling tip: Infuse organic textures and rich natural woods such as smoked oak, for contrast. Pair with burnished brass hardware and sleek white quartz worktops for a refined, balanced look.

Avocado

Avocado, our deepest green, is a rich, dramatic shade that shifts beautifully with light. It takes on an almost black appearance in low lighting, while in brighter spaces, its lush green tones emerge, adding depth and refinement. Ideal for those seeking a bold statement with timeless versatility, Avocado brings a sophisticated edge to any kitchen design.

Styling tip: Combine Avocado cabinetry with dusted oak finishes and pristine white quartz worktops. Complete the look with antique brass handles for a timeless, high-end aesthetic.

Using Greens in the Kitchen

Green’s versatility allows it to adapt effortlessly to various design preferences. However, its impact depends heavily on how it’s used.
