Timeless tiles for beautiful green kitchens

The best tile colours for green kitchens

Creating a kitchen is all about finding the perfect balance between functionality and beautiful design. A green kitchen is a timeless choice that exudes elegance, freshness, and a touch of nature. As one of the most versatile colours, green can transform your kitchen into a warm, inviting space or a sophisticated, modern haven, depending on the shade you choose. However, to really complete the look, it's essential to pair your green cabinetry or walls with the perfect tiles.

In this article, we'll explore the best tile colours to complement your green kitchen,  ensuring it remains a beloved space for years to come.

Classic white tiles

White tiles are a timeless choice that can brighten up any space. They offer a clean, crisp contrast to green cabinetry, making your kitchen feel more spacious and open.

Glossy white tiles are especially good for reflecting light, making your kitchen look brighter, especially if you have used darker shades such as forest green or olive green on your walls or cabinetry.

White tiles pair perfectly with both contemporary and traditional kitchen styles, and should you ever change your cabinetry, woodwork or wall colours from green to another colour - your white tiles will always be a perfect companion no matter your choice.

Aged Crackle tiles

For those seeking a feeling of history, our Aged Crackle tiles are a fantastic option to pair with a traditional green kitchen.

Each and every tile features a unique crackled finish to the glaze which is then hand-aged by applying a layer of stain which enters the tiny crackles, producing a vintage effect tile. Every handmade tile is completely unique, with a crackle glaze that appears differently on every single one. 

Your antique aged crackle tiles will look as though they have lived there for centuries, perfect for a green kitchen in a traditional cottage, renovated farmhouse or country home.

Not only that, whilst Aged Crackle tiles are typically finished using a grey stain, we can hand-age them using a subtle green stain, to complement your green kitchen.

Pink tiles

If you're looking to introduce a playful yet sophisticated touch to your green kitchen, pink tiles are an unexpected but beautiful choice. In colour theory, pink and green are complementary colours, and can be used to create a romantic and gentle scheme in your kitchen.

Gentle pink tones can be used to soften bold greens, or to create a calming space against pale green shades such as mint green or sage green.

Accentuate with brass hardware for a classic look.

Green tiles

Layering different shades of green adds depth and dimension, transforming your kitchen into a harmonious, nature-inspired space. 

Colour drenching your space in a monochromatic style can make your kitchen feel elegant and timeless, enabling you to bring in new colours through fabric, accessories and hardware. Incorporate natural materials such as wooden countertops, brass hardware and plants to create a kitchen that feels cohesive and inviting.
