💚Go green in the kitchen and be inspired by nature’s colour palette…

Pairing green with wood creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere, especially in kitchens. Green brings a sense of freshness and vitality, that reminds us of nature, while wood adds warmth and organic texture.

Together, they evoke a feeling of balance and connection to the outdoors, making the kitchen a welcoming space for cooking and gathering. Additionally, green promotes a sense of tranquillity, perfect for creating a serene environment in the heart of the home, while wood adds timeless elegance and a touch of rustic charm. This combination not only enhances the kitchen’s aesthetic appeal but also promotes a sense of well-being and comfort in the space.

Sage green is a huge colour trend at the moment, it’s a muted take on the green classic kitchen. The beauty of this shade is that you can use it with light or dark wood accents, depending on the style you’re looking to achieve. In the kitchen design above, the lovely walnut colour island warms the space, along with the gold handle detail on the cabinets.
