A Little Green, A Lot of Kitchen Envy!

A Little Green Goes a Long Way


March is the season when we start craving a little more color, a little more light, and—of course—a touch of green. This kitchen proves that green can be a beautiful design choice all year long.


The star of the space is the deep green base cabinetry, which grounds the entire kitchen with rich color and personality. The hue feels sophisticated rather than trendy, pairing beautifully with the crisp white upper cabinets that keep the room feeling bright and open. It’s a perfect balance: bold enough to stand out, yet timeless enough to live with for years.


Adding warmth and character is the stunning copper range hood that anchors the cooking area. Its soft patina catches the light and complements the brass hardware, creating a layered look that feels both classic and welcoming. Behind the range, a subtle stone backsplash provides movement without overwhelming the design.


The kitchen island continues the green cabinetry and is topped with a creamy countertop that reflects natural light from the surrounding windows. A farmhouse sink and polished faucet bring both charm and functionality to the center of the room, making the island a natural gathering place for everything from morning coffee to evening meal prep.


Overhead, the pendant lights glow warmly, casting a soft golden tone that echoes the copper hood and enhances the inviting atmosphere. Open shelving adds just the right amount of display space for everyday items and a bit of personality, while dark wood floors anchor the room with a rich, grounding contrast. And if you look closely, you’ll notice the cutest kitchen supervisor of all—a sweet Boykin Spaniel sitting patiently on the floor, likely waiting for a snack.


Dreaming of a new space? You may not find a pot of gold at 345 Lafayette Avenue, but you'll find plenty of inspiration at AKandB's showroom!
