Bold Green Kitchens

April 20, 2012 by Jane F 4 Comments

green kitchens - shamrock green and white patterned tile from Mosaic House in a white kitchen - Katie Ridder via AtticmagShamrock, pine and mint are leaf green hues that can add intensity to our cooking spaces.

Intense green – the color of envy – appears to be gaining on the more acidic yellow-greens shades we’ve been seeing. Perhaps that’s a sign of new confidence about color or just a vagary of shifting tastes. But for me, green kitchens have tremendous personality. And with a vibrant green on all the walls — used much like paint —  an otherwise white kitchen [top] is converted. But this kitchen has one of those transitional designs with one foot on a very traditional Oriental rug on the floor, a slightly retro backsplash that evokes the 1940s, and an ultra-modern Logico ceiling light. This tile comes from Mosaic House, in New York City; the kitchen was designed by Katie Ridder.

I do adore the color of this kitchen which reminds me of what happens to pine needles when branches fall from the tree and they lose some of their color. And while there’s a layer of busy added here, with leaded glass pattern in the upper cabinets and so many accessories, there’s much to be admired from the twin stone farm sinks to details like the pot rack, plate rack and open storage for copper pots that send the signal: serious cook lives here.

And I love the clean modernism implied by the mint-green mini subway mosaics designer Celerie Kemble used here. Although the color is bold, the small-scale of the tiles helps the space feel airy and spacious. And, of course, the big plus is that these walls will never need painting.

    I had to scroll up and down, down and up, trying to decide which was my favorite. The 2nd one is a fantastic kitchen, but seems a little dreary with so little break from the green and black counters. I love what the copper, the wood plate rack, and white accessories do for it, and it’s an attractive green. Love the mini bricks of the 3rd… and the brightness of the first makes a wonderful feeling space and I’m crazy about that patterned tile!

    I think green is such a comforting color for decorating a home. The small tiles are definitely my favorite!

    I love the bold green in the second photo! So beautiful, such a drastic change from the normal white or solid wood colors. It’s such a great contrast compared to everything else, yet all the colors work together!
