Before & After

Green Small Kitchen – Remodel Inspo

June 20, 2017
  • Share

I love love love this green small kitchen with black and white checkered marble floors designed by blogger Gwen Hefner of The Makerista. So well designed.  Apparently, she and her husband took charge of making over their outdated kitchen last year.  They took a normal small kitchen and gave it an extremely luxe feel with green cabinets, black pendant lights, quartz countertops, and more.  Click below to tour the full space and see what it looked like before!

BEFORE – The kitchen’s honey-colored wood cabinets were nice but not noteworthy. It looked like any other regular kitchen. The transformation from this to a green kitchen, however, is noteworthy. What a great way to style the house!

Adding Green to the Kitchen

I’ve always thought about painting my kitchen green and with the recent rise in popularity of green kitchens, it seems like a better and better idea! Green kitchens can add warmth and luxury to the home. It would go so well with making the house feel more homey. I can’t imagine a better way to design and style a kitchen. There are very few colors out there with this much versatility, so we must take advantage of that! You want the space where you cook and eat to feel cozy and homey.

Adding green to a kitchen is one of many ways to completely redo its look and feel. Adding some light hues to the cabinets or the countertops can make you feel immersed in the nature scene. Whether you choose something of a darker shade or maybe you like light pastel colors, a green kitchen is an amazing way to elevate the home and make it feel more relaxing.

If you’re interested in exploring more options for painting the kitchen green, check out the color palettes here. There is a whole spectrum of greens to choose from! And pairing it with the right colors, such as white, nude, beige, or navy can make the space look as it feels.

The different shades and hues of green in these kitchens looked so much better than the before picture. Adding some green to the kitchen truly does elevate the room, making the seem quite luxurious. No matter the size of the space you’re working with, this color is so versatile you can’t go wrong. It also matches amazingly well with so many types of interior design choices. Whether it’s mid-century, rustic, modern, or whatever else, adding some green to the kitchen will fit right in. That extra pop of color is a great addition to any house.

What do you think of Gwen’s kitchen?  Leave a comment below.  I LOVE IT!  Well done.

    I love looking at your pictures but before I can even get a good look at the details; the pop up comes up to share and for some reason then I can’t get rid of it. I have to say it’s very frustrating; is there something I can do to get rid of it, please let me know.

    Major improvement!! Love the shade of green and they even managed to get some more counter space out of it. I’m all about counter space.

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
