Stumbled across this Domino article about stained green kitchen cabinets and it got me thinking.
Those kitchens with green hues look beautiful and simple. Clean lines, natural vibes, just really nice. And apparently it’s a trend for 2026? Maybe I’m onto something here.
I considered painting my cabinets green last year. Spent way too much time scrolling through inspiration photos, imagining how it’d look.
But here’s the thing: my cabinets are wood. Painting them means commitment. If I hate the color later, I’m stuck repainting over and over. So I went with stained wood instead—lets the grain show through, easier to live with long-term.
Part of me wonders if I should’ve dared to go green. But no regrets—the stained wood looks good.
Still, now I’m eyeing green accent tiles for the backsplash. Just a pop of color where the counters meet the wall.
Except picking the right shade feels impossible. Sage? Forest? Emerald? Something in between? There are a million shades and none feel quite right.
