What colors should I combine with green?

Having conceived a kitchen in green tones, it is necessary to decide on what to bet on: the contrast of different colors or the use of different shades of the same color. If you are staying on the last option, it is better that the color saturation increases from large areas to small ones. In other words: against the background of pale walls the furniture is brighter for several tones, the most expressive in the interior are decorative small items, dishes, textiles. The accent will also be the bright decoration of the walls above the working surface, the so-called apron - for the green kitchen, for example, choose a landscape and floral ornament.

Among other things, the color of the young green looks good when paired with white.

Otherwise, instead of stylish kitchen design in green tones, you will get a typical interior of the Soviet canteen.

In the kitchen green is well combined with other bright, saturated colors - there is no risk of overexposure from the abundance of bright colors, because the room, in fact, is not residential. However, do not forget about the rules of color: try to choose different colors in one tone, so as not to turn a bold experiment into a visual nightmare.

1. Curtains for a green kitchen in a classic red with a white cage.
2. Green chairs for the kitchen will look great against the background of yellow walls
3. Green chandelier in the kitchen - in the interior, executed in blue-yellow tones (green is obtained by mixing blue and yellow, so the lighting will combine contrasting colors).
4. Green tiles in the kitchen, which alternates with a tile of a different color, for example, in the design of an apron. Successful couples: mint + smoky pink; pistachio + yellow; grassy green + blue.
5. Green floor in the kitchen in combination with blue or yellow walls. In the first case, the interior will be built on a combination of cool colors; in the second - on the contrast of cold and warm colors.
