It’s no secret that green has been trending in a major way lately. Not only does the leafy shade conjure the sensation of being outdoors after two years cooped up at home, it also is a versatile (and welcome) alternative to traditional colors like white and gray. Don’t believe us? Paint color juggernauts Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams named tints of green as their top hues for 2022.

Interior designers have gone particularly wild for green kitchen cabinets—and it’s easy to see why, given the freshness the color evokes. Green is also mercifully easy to match with your existing finishes and fixtures, and a verdant coat on your cabinets is a surefire way to create a look that’s both trend-forward and classic. To kickstart some kitchen design inspiration, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite green kitchen cabinetry looks, from the softest of celeries to look-at-me emerald lacquer.
