It's no secret that salad cuisine is the dream of many housewives. And this is not surprising. After all, a delicate light green color fills the room with freshness and energizes. Such shades are pleasing to the eye and invigorate. I remember young spring grass, fresh leaves, lime and olives.
Modern kitchens look very impressive in light green tones. They are concise and expressive at the same time. Most often, this color is used in the Provence style interior. Much less often it is found in a kitchen made in a classic style. But this is only a trend and a matter of taste of the owners.
Light green background or furniture?
Light-colored kitchens should have one main color element of the interior - walls, furniture or floor. If you decide to make a light green floor, you will get an eco-style that is extremely popular right now - every day you will be able to walk on delicate light green leaves.
Admirers of modern trends (pop art, hi-tech, modern, minimalism) will certainly order a light green kitchen with glossy facades, and fans of Provence and country - panel facades of a slightly faded shade. For lovers of the classicsyou need to think carefully before deciding what is more important for them: color or style. After all, the classic accepts greenery only as small inclusions in the form of accessories (it can be textiles, a lamp, a vase of fruit or a picture).
Light green furniture
A competent approach to this shade can transform any kitchen interior, regardless of its style. If you decide to make a set with facades in such colors the dominant design of the kitchen, then we recommend that you use muted, calm shades for the general background. The brighter and more intense the main color, the simpler the “decoration” should be - an apron made of white tiles or frosted glass, white walls, brushed metal fittings.
In the dining area, you can put a simple-shaped table with a light glass top on completely even legs. Support eye-catching furniture fronts with accents and accessories. It can be a lamp with a light green shade, dishes, a pattern on a tablecloth or curtains. The corner kitchen looks interesting. The light green surface of the cabinets goes well with glasses and vases made of transparent glass, the dazzling sheen of metal kitchen utensils, snow-white porcelain.
Choosing an apron

- But the glass false panel with photo printing applied to it (skinal) looks especially attractive. Most often, in this case, they choose a natural theme, which suggests the presence of shades of green.
Design options
Lead kitchen can be decorated in a variety of ways. It all depends on your imagination and the chosen color. If you decide to focus on furniture, then all other interior elements should be in soft pastel colors. We have already talked about the white apron. It can be made of frosted glass. In this case, matte fittings with aluminum parts are also welcome.
Today, many create salad kitchen from wood. For this, paneled cabinets of pale light green color are selected. Elegance will be added by fittings interspersed with ceramics, as well as natural sand or gray-beige tones of upholstered furniture. Dining group in suchversion is also made of wood. It should be with carved backs of chairs and a wooden tabletop. The table can be covered with a light green lace or white tablecloth. Place a bowl of fruit on it.
The light green kitchen looks interesting, in which furniture covered with oak veneer, with smooth and simple doors, is emphasized by a light green apron. In this case, try to choose furniture in a natural honey color. You will be delighted with this color combination.
Light green cuisine: which wallpaper to choose?
This is a question that interests many homeowners. In the presence of a light green set, the wall decoration should be extremely calm. Therefore, preference should be given to pastel colors of canvases with a smooth texture. The richer the shade of the furniture, the lighter the walls should be. The following colors are more suitable for this:
- white;
- pale blue;
- light beige;
- cream;
- creamy.
The ideal option can be considered a combination of dark brown with light green. But it can only be used on one wall (for example, to make an apron). What colors does not tolerate light green cuisine? First of all, blue, which, in combination with green, causes a feeling of anxiety.
Glossy facades of the headset can (and should) be shaded with light wallpaper with a small, barely noticeable pattern. The beige wallpaper with a golden print applied to them looks very original. Suitable for decorating walls in a salad kitchenplain matt finishes.
Texture
Finishing the main surfaces with textured material is suitable for rooms with a large area, and you should know that it does not match the glossy facades of the headset at all. A kitchen in light green colors looks very fresh when the set is made of natural light wood, and the walls are decorated with olive or pistachio textured wallpaper. It is equally important that the design of the walls organically resonates with textiles. You can choose a similar ornament or color scheme.
The combination of accessories and the design of the main surfaces will create a pleasant atmosphere in your kitchen, a spring mood. It will become a favorite place for your relatives and friends.
Choose curtains
All housewives are well aware that window decoration in any room sometimes plays a decisive role. Without it, the room seems featureless and unfinished even after a very expensive renovation. Therefore, the choice of curtains should be approached with great responsibility. Let's make a reservation right away that no matter what interior style you choose for your kitchen, the curtains should not be too voluminous, burdened with countless frills and ruffles (this is especially true for small rooms). It is desirable that they be made from natural fabrics. Their color should be in harmony (but in no case match) with the shade of the walls.

Lighting
Another important issue that cannot be ignored. Modern kitchens are inconceivable without good lighting. This primarily applies to the work area. But this does not raise any questions among the owners of salad kitchens. Usually, spotlights are used to solve this problem, which give directional light. In rooms with low ceilings, it is better to refuse the central chandelier. The abundance of artificial lighting sometimes irritates the eyes, so you should ensure the maximum flow of natural light.
But in the evening you can't do without electricity. We recommend using wall lamps with light green shades, sconces.
In this article, we have given only general recommendations for the design of light green cuisine. What it will become in your house depends only on you. Do not be afraid to experiment and decorate it with your own hands. Her coziness and comfort will depend on this.
