6. Green Cabinetry with Herringbone Wood Flooring

Sometimes, the wood shouldn’t be on the walls—it should be on the floor. A herringbone-patterned oak floor provides a gorgeous, intricate texture that acts as a neutral “wood” base, allowing dark green cabinetry to shine as the primary color feature.

How to Make

Paint all cabinetry in a dark, botanical green. Install a light-to-medium oak herringbone floor. This layout is very sophisticated. Because the floor is busy, keep your countertops, backsplash, and lighting very clean and minimal to prevent the kitchen from feeling cluttered.

Things Needed

  • Botanical green cabinet paint
  • Light oak herringbone flooring
  • Minimalist white quartz countertops
  • Simple white tile backsplash
  • Polished chrome or stainless steel hardware
