ByMyProperty Life

Picking the right color for your kitchen is a task that is difficult at the best of times when you have clarity regarding the style you want in there. Things get a bit more confusing when you move away from the more popular hues like white, blue, gray and cream in the kitchen and delve into the exotic worlds of greens. Evoking the image of lush green forests and nature at its unbridled best, darker shades of green can be absolutely mesmerizing when used right. Adapting to different styles and settings, it is easy to work with dark and deep greens when you know precisely how you wish to shape the area around it.

Energetic, classy and even eclectic when it needs to be, this is a look at the best kitchens in dark green that we could gather from all over the planet. Enjoy!

If there is one color that perfectly complements dark green in the kitchen, then it is undoubtedly white. A popular choice in this section is the blend of dark green kitchen cabinets and walls with a white backsplash, countertops in white and a ceiling in white. This is the most referred ‘formula’, but you can tweak it easily to ensure it fits with the style that you have chosen for the kitchen. Using marble to bring in the white element also is a smart idea in the contemporary kitchen as it adds a sense of sophistication without altering the color palette.

Modern kitchens in green are a bit rarer, but that does not mean you cannot create a unique and amazing kitchen using the color. Farmhouse, and rustic kitchens with the hue coupled with textured walls feel cozy and inviting while delightful Mediterranean kitchens in deep green are as good as those in yellow!

  • Waverley Residence

    Designed for a young couple, the 5,000 sf home and 1,700 sf back house sit on a flat 21,000 sf lot in a 1920’s Palo Alto neighborhood (a few blocks away from Steve Jobs’ residence). The architecture is a study in strong simple composition and is museum-like with its highly refined materiality and emphasis on craft. The massing defines solid and void, captures natural light, and connects the indoors with the landscape, seeking to ‘experience the outdoors from within.’ The ground floor volumes wrapped in an elongated hand-fired brick from Denmark, emphasizing the horizontality of the architecture that lays solidly on the land. Bronze-trimmed ceiling planes slide between the brick masses, and floor-to-ceiling glazed openings are captured by thin-profiled bronze frames. In contrast to the grounded brick volumes, the second floor is clad in stainless steel panels and oversized aluminum-framed windows. The lightness and openness of the second floor is nestled among the oak-tree canopies of the site. At the basement level, a wine cellar and tasting room open to a sunken landscaped courtyard. A 30ft by 10ft continuous pane of glass runs alongside the grand stairwell of floating stone steps, connecting the three levels of the house. Due to the unprecedented size of this glass in residential design, it was custom manufactured in Germany and shipped to California. This dramatic moment in the sequence of progressing through the house helps visitors feel connected to the lush landscape outside. Inside the house, materials such as a custom leather door and bronze anodized details were selected for their unique craftsman-style quality. Another custom-designed element is the steel mesh screen that wraps around to enclose the kitchen for privacy, separating this from the more public “guest hosting” areas adjacent. The steel screen slides along a track embedded into the teak slatted ceiling and disappears into the pantry when retracted. A freestanding structure set deep back into the site is a zen-like fitness/yoga studio as well as a guesthouse with a kitchenette. This dramatic stone mass opens up completely in the center to give the impression of exercising outdoors. The landscape integrates California native plant species, grasses and trees to compliment the materiality of the architecture.
