Take some light green kitchen inspo from Dulux

Published on 27 Oct 2022

Bring a sense of renewal to your home with light green kitchen cabinets.

We enjoy keeping up with the latest interior design news at Masterclass Kitchens, including the annual unveiling of Dulux’s Colour of the Year.

Year-on-year, colour experts carefully translate global insights into a “mood of the moment” colour. This year, Dulux named its light green shade ‘Wild Wonder’ as its 2023 shade.

It comes as no surprise that this fresh, nature-inspired colour is the next big thing in interior design; we’re seeing more homeowners opting for our light green kitchen finishes, Olive and Sage Green, than ever.

The growth of light green kitchens goes hand in hand with the rise of nature-inspired kitchens. More people are seeking to replicate nature’s soothing effects using natural décor, and what says natural more than green?

Combine light green with life-like wood finishes and organic elements like brick, and you’ve got a winning natural combo.

Light green kitchen cabinets are also an excellent option for anyone looking to bridge the gap between neutrals and colours; light green is as flexible as grey but with a bit more vibrancy.

Light green kitchen cabinets are also highly versatile, which means that light green mixes well with various textures, such as wood and metallics. What’s more, the softness of light green allows extra materials to really pop and stand out against it.

Small house owners who aren’t into grey kitchens will be happy to know that light green is also a great way to create a light and airy space that isn’t grey.

Light green kitchens can adapt to both warm and cool colour schemes. For a cool look, pair your light green kitchen cabinets with white worktops, white walls and silver handles.

For a warmer look, pair your green kitchen cabinets with plenty of wood-effect features, such as open shelving, crate drawers and worktops.

Our Sage Green and Olive finishes enhance the traditional features of our shaker kitchen ranges, such as grained doors.
