7. Deep Green Kitchen with Cedar Ceiling Beams

If you are lucky enough to have architectural details like ceiling beams, highlighting them with wood can transform a modern kitchen. Cedar is a beautiful, aromatic wood that brings a reddish-gold warmth to the room, perfectly complementing the cool, dark tones of green.

How to Make

Paint your cabinets a deep, charcoal-green. Install cedar beams across the ceiling and match them with a single long cedar shelf spanning the kitchen. The wood connects the ceiling to the walls, creating a “hug” of warmth around the dark green cabinetry. It feels rustic yet incredibly sleek and modern.

Things Needed

  • Charcoal-green cabinet paint
  • Cedar wood beams and shelving
