Green kitchen set: features of choice, combinations, 60 photos

Features of choice

Before opting for green for kitchen furniture, it is best to correlate it with the color of the apron and the technique at the design stage. The advantages of a green kitchen interior include:

1. A soothing effect, tested by experts and proven by time, as well as creating an atmosphere of comfort.
2. A green kitchen set is suitable for any style of kitchen and will emphasize it if the rules for combining colors and textures are followed.
3. The light green shade of the kitchen set (light green, lime, mint) visually increases the area of ​​the room, which is important for small kitchens in apartments.

The green facade of the kitchen will look losing in the case of an incorrect selection of the companion color and a combination of more than three colors in the zone of one space. To avoid trouble with the selection of color, you need to follow several rules.

For example, bright colors are great for accent, but not for kitchen countertops or solid façades. Dark green (coniferous or myrtle shade) nobly unfolds on a large area of ​​the desktop or upper cases of the headset.

In the design of a small kitchen, it is important to combine shades of green with light shades (white or light beige), while in a large space you can combine green with different colors.

For "hot" kitchens, where the windows face the sunny side, it is best to choose a cold facade color (mint, emerald, olive, moss). For a "cold" room it is worth choosing warm shades (lime, pear, chartreuse). The matte, muted and monochromatic design of the headset is characteristic of the classic kitchen, and the abundance of gloss, prints and wavy geometry is characteristic of the modern design.

Kitchen style with a green set

Green is represented by a wide palette of tones that will be appropriate in a particular style.

• A set in a classic style made of expensive woods will emphasize the simplicity and luxury of the kitchen with the help of a single-color execution of deep colors and matte surfaces.
• For the Scandinavian style, natural and clean tones of a warm palette are suitable.
• Country style involves a combination of pale and rich tones with wood and stone.
• The English and Provence style will be recognizable through the décor and olive kitchen furniture with the characteristic finishes of the cabinets and dining group.
• A modern kitchen can combine several colors, such as a white top and a green bottom with a black backsplash.

Choosing the shape of the headset for the size of the kitchen

A kitchen set in green can be of different shapes and configurations. The choice of the form option depends on the size of the room and its functionality (for example, it can be a cooking area combined with a dining room).

Linear

A linear kitchen set occupies the distance between two walls. It will be appropriate in a rectangular room and small narrow kitchens, where corner modules can hide the space. This layout makes it possible to place a dining table. A linear kitchen can be of different lengths and complemented by home appliances.

Angular

A corner kitchen set will help save space through a spacious corner cabinet and pencil case, as well as placing a sink or stove in the corner. Such a kitchen can be made in any style, as well as additionally be combined with a bar counter.

U-shaped

The U-shaped kitchen set is placed along three walls and is suitable for medium-sized rectangular and square rooms, as well as studio apartments. This arrangement of furniture makes it possible to install a sink and a refrigerator next to the stove, without violating the zoning rules.

It is difficult to combine a dining group with an u-shaped kitchen set because of the high pile-up of furniture, so it is better to receive guests and dine with a large family in a separate dining room or living room. In a small or narrow kitchen, a U-shaped layout will be appropriate, provided that there is a play of contrasting colors (for example, a green set, a black countertop and a white apron).

Ostrovnoy

An island kitchen set is suitable exclusively for large spaces and above medium sized kitchens. The kitchen island can serve as an additional workplace, with a sink and internal cabinets for storing wine bottles or dishes, or it can be a dining table and move on wheels.

The island fits well with both classic and modern styles. The peninsular option (adding an island to one side of the headset) combines a storage system and a bar counter for quick breakfasts.

Materials and quality of kitchen furniture: wood, MDF, plastic

In the kitchen, there is a frequent temperature drop and high humidity, therefore, the choice of wall decoration, the quality of the frame and furniture facades should be approached with special attention. Chipboard, MDF, wood with an additional coating are suitable as a frame.

• Facade made of wood can be made entirely of wood, or with MDF inside the headset. Of the advantages, environmental friendliness, presentable appearance and long service life are noted. The downsides are finicky cleaning and a limited selection of shades of green.

• Kitchen facade made of MDF boards with enamel coating provides easy cleaning from dirt (from dust to greasy splashes), it is also resistant to moisture and does not absorb odors. It is produced in any shade of green in matte and glossy versions. Disadvantages include loss of color from exposure to sunlight and frequent cleaning of fingerprints.
• Film coated MDF has the same properties, sufficient wear resistance, but over time the film will fade, and in the area of ​​the stove and oven it can peel off.

• Plastic kitchen fronts resistant to detergents, moisture and sunlight, have a long service life and is available in all shades of green. Particleboard or MDF panels are taken as a basis, which are tightly sealed with plastic, and the ends are finished with aluminum profiles or plastic edging. The disadvantages include the remnants of fingerprints, the unnatural origin of the material.

The facade of the kitchen can be glossy, matte or combined with the addition of a picture on the furniture film.

• Glossy surfaces reflect light well, therefore they are suitable for visually increasing the space of a small kitchen.Gloss looks spectacular in modern high-tech kitchens, loft, art deco. Glossy kitchen furniture cannot be combined with a stretch ceiling and it is undesirable to combine it with a glossy apron or floor tiles. A glossy green facade looks best with a discreet matte backsplash in a neutral or contrasting color.

• Matt the kitchen set is more practical, streaks or fingerprints and splashes are not so clearly visible on it. Such furniture is suitable for creating classic style, minimalism, Scandinavian style and Provence. Matte surfaces conceal space, so in a small kitchen, the green facade should be combined only with light tones of the wallpaper.

• IN combined the design option can only be glossy on the upper kitchen cabinets, and the lower cabinets will be matte or with a wooden texture.

Rules for choosing an apron and table top

Since green kitchen furniture itself is attractive, the color of the work apron and countertop should look more restrained and not conflict with the main shade.

According to the color scheme, a white, beige, light coffee apron will be a win-win option, which will create an unobtrusive transition. It can also be a few shades lighter or darker than the color of the furniture. A metal apron with high resistance to washing and its shine will be suitable for modern and high-tech styles.

Bright green kitchen furniture can be combined with the same bright yellow or purple apron (this option is suitable for a spacious room). The work apron can be glossy or matte white tiles with bright green grout. For a rustic style, tiles with a wood texture in natural tones are suitable. Photo printing on a glass panel is acceptable if the facades are plain and matte.

The kitchen countertop can be made in stone (marble, granite) or wood in white, beige, gray and black colors. For a white-green kitchen, it is better to choose a gray or black countertop, a green set goes well with a white countertop. In a small kitchen, it is best to match the color of the countertop with the color of the apron.

From materials that are resistant to moisture, high temperatures and frequent cleaning, laminated chipboard, hard wood (oak, pine), glass, ceramics, stone are suitable.

Decorating the room and choosing the color of the walls

The choice of color for finishing a kitchen with a green set should be based on the principle of balancing: the brighter the shade, the paler the shade of the walls.

• Walls. Wallpaper for a lime kitchen set should be white or ivory. You can use brown or black in details as an accent. The dining area can be decorated with photo wallpaper to match the furniture. Olive or pistachio set will look good against the background of pale yellow, pastel pink, white and gray wallpaper. Emerald kitchen will look good against the background of milky, white walls with brown patterns.
• Floor. For kitchen flooring, the most practical choice is dark wood-colored porcelain stoneware with a distinctive texture. It can also be glossy white tiles with green decorative mosaics. When choosing linoleum, you should pay attention to its strength and resistance to stress and the degree of wear resistance.
• Ceiling should be bright with a sufficient number of lighting fixtures. It's best not to use the addition of green here. A glossy ceiling is suitable for a small kitchen with a matte headset. For a more classic version, a flat ceiling with a minimum of design is suitable.

Harmonious color combination

The correct combination of colors in the headset and the combination with a touch of wallpaper and curtains gives the kitchen an interesting look.

• The most common combination is white-green kitchen set. It is suitable for classic designs. Both dark and light accents in any proportion can be added to such a duet.

• Yellow green the facade of kitchen furniture itself looks bright and self-sufficient, so it can be beaten with purple curtains, or balanced with white interior details.

• Green-orange the kitchen set is combined with white wall decoration without additional texture and patterns.

• Gray-green the kitchen is suitable for creating a country style and goes well with the wood trim of the work area.

• Creates a feeling of pristine nature green-brown design of a kitchen set, which, together with wooden cladding, will emphasize the eco-style of the kitchen.

• Moderately glossy black-green a kitchen set can highlight the elegance and sense of style of the owners of the house. Does not tolerate supplementation with any third color other than white.

When choosing a green kitchen unit, you need to choose the appropriate shade and shape that will match the size of the room. A pleasant and unobtrusive color is combined with many shades of the warm and cold spectrum, therefore, by replacing the tablecloth and curtains, you can give the kitchen furniture a new look. In addition, green will always be in fashion, so you can safely experiment with bright and pastel colors.
