Renovating your kitchen can cost a lot of money, even for something as simple as refinishing your cabinets. Considering that the kitchen is often the heart of any home, it makes sense that it looks great and feels fresh. A color Martha Stewart chose for her own kitchen cabinets is gray-green, which seems rather timeless. While you may want to refresh your own kitchen and give it a Stewart-inspired makeover, there are plenty of ways to incorporate her gray-green trend without completely repainting your cabinets. From the color of your pans to the rugs on your floor, these pops of color can change the entire look of your kitchen.
In a recent Instagram post from Stewart, she shared a retro cooking video where viewers could see the gray-green cabinets behind her. While gray may be less trendy, a touch of green adds elegance to the room. Therefore, it makes sense that you would want to incorporate it into your own kitchen design without any regrets. And when these two colors come together, it feels like a chance to add a touch of nature to your space. If you're looking to sprinkle some gray-green into your own kitchen to express your inner Stewart, there are a number of options to choose from, all of which can easily be swapped out if you decide to change later.
How to Add Gray Green to Your Own Kitchen Design
One of the easiest ways to add a touch of color, some warmth and freshness to a room is with a new rug. Consider using a small runner, a real kitchen mat, or even a larger rug in your kitchen that will add gray-green tones to your decor. There are a number of places where you can purchase a stylish small kitchen rug, including stores like Walmart, Costco, and Kohl's. You can even shop Martha Stewart's own line of kitchen rugs, including the Martha Stewart Miles Modern Diamond Kitchen Mat in a toned down mint green.
If you have open shelves in your kitchen or even a hanging rack for your pots and pans, you can also bring the gray-green effect into the room in a natural way by using a cookware set in this shade. There are a few different brands that offer beautiful ceramic pieces in a variety of colors. And yes, this also includes gray-green tones from brands like The Big One or even Caraway. Colorful cookware not only adds color to the kitchen, it is also useful.
Similarly, you may want to choose items that you actually use every day. Consider adding towels, placemats, and even vases (like Ooit Pottery's modern farmhouse vases) in this colorway. Because these elements are easily interchangeable, you can use them when you want to incorporate gray-green into your design and take them back when you want to switch to a different look or trend.
