A classy shaker kitchen in a deep sage green

This gorgeous shaker kitchen has deep sage green kitchen cabinets that combine wonderfully with the wood tones in the white-soaped flooring and the bentwood dining chairs. The white marble countertop contrast so nicely with the sage green and the grey wall color and I love that the countertop continues in a backsplash behind the stove and sink.

Upper cabinets are only used to integrate the exhaust and in the area above the sink which lightens up the otherwise moody sage color palette.

Pastel sage green cabinets in a contrasting kitchen

The color of the cabinets in this kitchen is a very light shade of sage green, almost like a pastel. The kitchen design consists of mostly lower cabinets for a light look which pairs up nicely with the white tiles on the wall.

The sage green cabinets and the white tiles contrast nicely with the black metal window frames and the black accent wall by the dining area.

Sage green kitchen cabinets with wood countertops

While sage green in the kitchen can look very fresh and clean, in this kitchen the wooden countertops really warm up the color palette. Part of the upper cabinets consists of open shelving made out of the same material as the countertops, which is a nice touch that comes back on the back of the kitchen island as well.

The white tiles with the black grout add a little bit of a graphic touch while the salmon flowerpot lampshade adds some character to the pale paint color.

I love the balance of the color palette in this kitchen. The subtle sage green kitchen cabinets combined with the grey quartz countertop and backsplash and the beige walls result in a soft color palette that looks elegant and inviting.

The two-tone palette brought on by the wall color and the kitchen backsplash has been continued on the other wall and open shelving in the same material as the countertops is added on the upper part of the kitchen.

The kitchen cabinets continue into a lower bench in the dining area with the same paint color on both the cabinets and the wall, which is a nice way of integrating the dining area into the kitchen design.

Sage green cabinet paint colors to give a try

Don’t have the opportunity to remodel your kitchen yet you still want to have a sage green kitchen? You can always use a paint color on your existing cabinets and give them a little makeover.

To achieve a lighter sage green look on your kitchen cabinets like in some of the examples, go for a muted green like Mizzle from Farrow and Ball* or Guilford Green* by Benjamin Moore. If you are looking for a bold, dark effect, go for a darker green paint color like Pewter green from Sherwin Williams, which pairs up nicely with warm woods and metals.

To find the true green that matches your kitchen space, always work with a sample of the paint color to see how the color pairs up with the natural lights and existing materials in the space.
