"Don't get us wrong, sage green kitchen design concepts were popular for a reason. The color is warm and inviting, without the heaviness of other earth tones like burgundy or burnt orange. At one time, sage green might have felt like a timeless kitchen cabinet color that would never go out of style. We felt that way about millenial gray too, back in 2015."
"Don't let this be you. Sage is neither colorful nor neutral, instead arriving someplace in the middle that leaves us aptly lukewarm. Luckily, green is a wide-ranging spectrum. Foodies considering a very verde kitchenscape might look to a deeper, earthy, forest brown-green, which is fabulously complemented by concrete countertops and pine or bamboo accents. Or, try leaning into a darker, richer blue-green, which pops beside cherry wood cabinets."
Sage green kitchens were widely popular for being warm and inviting without the heaviness of other earth tones, but the hue now reads as dated and lukewarm. Sage sits between colorful and neutral, leading to overuse and visual fatigue. Homeowners seeking green kitchens can choose deeper, earthy forest brown-green paired with concrete countertops and pine or bamboo accents. Darker blue-green tones contrast well with cherry wood cabinets. For subtler applications, small green elements such as glass-paned cabinets and painted surrounding wood trim provide accents without overwhelming a space.
