<strong>10 Green Kitchen Wall Ideas That Are Trendy Yet Timeless</strong>

Architect Bill Ingram drew inspiration from a gorgeously retro green kitchen featured in the June 1975 issue of Southern Living. He coated the 2016 Southern Living Idea House in Sherwin-Williams Evergreens (SW 6447) for a perfectly modern take on colorful kitchen design.

A coat of Benjamin Moore's Galapagos Green (475) in high-gloss oil on the ceiling of this Alabama lake house brings the outdoors in. Forget what you know; Ceilings don't have to be white.

At Monica Lavin's charming Savannah home, a coat of subdued sage green on any paintable surface (ceiling included!) proves that a kitchen doesn't need sprawling walls to add a little green to the scheme. We can't get enough of these pops of color.

A green-brown stain on the wood-paneled walls of this kitchen give the space a modern-meets-rustic vibe that's perfect for a refined Georgia lake house.

In a petite kitchen like the one in this Austin home, your cabinets are your walls and deserve extra-special treatment. Designer Shannon Eddings coated hers in Benjamin Moore's Silver Sage (506).

In this North Carolina family home, a classy coat of Sherwood Green (HC-118), by Benjamin Moore pairs perfectly with timeless details like crisp white cabinetry and a mahogany-topped island.

This kitchen proves that paint isn't the only way to infuse your space with a little color. Verdant wallpaper with a classic sensibility gives this kitchen timeless style.

A zesty lime green on the walls makes the white subway tiles and clean cabinetry really pop in this colorful kitchen. Choose a bright color to up the contrast in your kitchen for eye-catching flair.

A stately green-gray on the trim and glass-front cabinets makes the white china on display in the 2013 Southern Living Nashville Idea House really stand out. This is a great way to blend hues and create a space that feels warm yet crisp.

When it comes to the kitchen, paint and wallpaper aren't your only options. Add a little green to your kitchen walls with gorgeous green tile. Here, a backsplash of dark green tile takes center stage in the New Orleans home of KV Harper, the founder of KEX Design + Build.
