kitchen
Flirt with grey Picking a shade that borders on deep grey is another way to use green in a modern space, as grey has such contemporary connotations. There’s a convention in kitchen design when two colours of cabinet are used that the lower units are dark, while the upper ones are the paler shade. Although there are no real wall units here, the painted wall fulfils the same function. And this reversal of the unspoken rule works because the kitchen is large, high ceilinged and airy. In a small room, you may find that a dark top section and pale lower section gives you the feeling that the walls are falling in on you, so research carefully before committing to a colour scheme.
