Interior designer Meredith Taylor has strong feelings about the potential for green in a kitchen design. “Any shade of
color can be used in a kitchen to create a classic and timeless look by balancing more classic finishes with it,” she writes. “In the instance of using green, I think shades that feel warmer and more neutral will stand the test of time.” This is definitely true over darker, more vibrant shades, which may be too trendy for some tastes, and it’s polarizing if you’re ever looking to sell your home.
