5 Countertops That Look Beautiful in a Green Kitchen
Get ideas for countertop colors and materials that complement green cabinetry
Kitchen countertops make as much of a decorative impact as your choice of cabinetry, so selecting the right style is essential. But what if you’ve picked out a less common color for your cabinets — green, for example? It could make your countertop decision a bit more challenging. Here’s what to consider to get your kitchen’s new look spot on.
Keep It Classic With White
Dark green cabinetry, like dark blue cabinetry, has the potential to be a little overpowering, especially if it stretches from floor to ceiling. One way to balance this is to use a white, light-reflecting countertop with a matching pale floor. The result? A bright room that can really take the cabinets’ dark tones.

Use Moody Colors for Drama
If, however, you love the dramatic effect of deep, inky shades, maximize it by matching dark green cabinets with a black countertop. Lessen the blocky impact by choosing a marbled-effect work surface, and pick out accessories in metallic finishes to reflect light and add a touch of glamour.

Try Traditional Midtone Wood
Shaker-style kitchens are the perfect candidates for pale green cabinets paired with a honey-colored wood countertop. If you want to sharpen up the look a little, keep the rest of the room bright and pared back, and match the green and woody tones with a touch, here and there, of black.

Match Up With Marble
Marble countertops with pale green cabinets? That’s a bit 1980s. But with dark green, it takes on a whole new look, and it can be elegantly upmarket or cool and eclectic, depending on how you style it. Stainless steel fixtures look smart with marble and green, but if you want more of a vintage vibe, you can’t beat a bit of brass.

Mid-green is a color you might associate with traditional designs, but you also can give it contemporary appeal. Pick a countertop material in a toning pale gray or sand color, then add plenty of light wood to add texture and interest.
