6. The “Greige” Kitchen with Greenery

Sometimes the best green isn’t paint—it’s the living, breathing kind. A “greige” (grey-beige) kitchen is a massive trend right now. It’s slightly cooler than traditional beige, making it feel very modern. By filling the space with an abundance of indoor plants, you create a “green” kitchen without ever opening a paint can.

How to Make

Paint your cabinets a soft greige. Install a natural stone countertop like limestone, which has a beautiful, natural beige texture. Then, fill every available corner with varying sizes of plants—trailing pothos on top of cabinets, a large fiddle leaf fig in a corner, and small succulents on the window sill. The plants provide all the green you need.

Things Needed

  • Greige cabinet paint
  • Natural limestone countertops
  • Assorted indoor plants (Pothos, Fiddle Leaf Fig)
  • Terra-cotta or beige ceramic pots
  • Watering can (kept as a display item)
