Kitchen colour trends 2023 – green tiles
Choosing the right colours can make or break your dream kitchen. Not only do they need to complement each other, but colours must work to create your desired kitchen ambiance. During this series of blogs, we highlight the hottest kitchen colour trends of 2023 and as nature-inspired hues are predicted to be top of the list, we’re showcasing the different types of green you can use to craft your ideal space.
Earth colour palettes
As we bring the outside into our homes with organic, earthy palettes, there are many shades to choose from depending on your light/dark preference. Some of the most popular kitchen trends now centre on dark greens to promote a rich, forest-like vitality, and varying shades of sage for that calming, cosy cottage feel.
Changing to green kitchen tiles
If your cabinets and kitchen arrangement still work for you, one of the best ways to redecorate your room is to update the walls and accessories.
With that in mind, here’s some tile inspo to get the creative juices flowing:
Tabarca Verde Green Gloss wall tile | 15x15cm Dune ceramic wall tile
In this ensemble, fresh forest deep green shades harmonise with natural wood effect surfaces and grey cabinets to imply a warm, welcoming Mediterranean mood.
Bronze handles and kitchen accessories have been added to further enhance the rich vibrancy.
Matchstick Forest Green Kit Kat Mosaic | Original Style (tile.co.uk)
Deep and atmospheric, we love how this Kit Kat tile of green and blue oceanic tones surrounds intense navy blue kitchen cabinets. Yet, these tiles are as equally striking used in small splashbacks behind hobs and sinks.
Team with black kitchen hardware to complement your theme.
Inspired by rustic Moroccan style, this aged look tile sits perfectly in older traditional homes and suits contemporary kitchen splashbacks just as well.
Vita Natura Brick Tile by Fabresa | 10x20cm ceramic wall tile and Vita Natura Decor Brick Tile by Fabresa | 10x20cm ceramic wall tile
The rustic colour and ripple finish make these aquamarine wall tiles a great addition to vintage style schemes throughout your home and kitchen, with faded printed cracks and grey worn edges giving an antique appearance.
Enhance further by pairing with wood effect parquet floor tiles. Find our top picks of flooring inspo at the Wood You Believe It? flooring blog.
Sage is a wonderfully versatile colour that goes well with a range of shades to create a calming sense of wellbeing in the heart of your home. Employ as a backdrop for light, country cottage style kitchen units against honey wood effect worktops and you're on your way to achieving your cottagecore goals.
Want a lighter shade of sage? No problem! This muted colour palette is complemented with a highly glazed finish creating a modern rustic aesthetic, perfect for your light, airy kitchen aspirations. The great thing about sage is it works just as well in compact kitchens as it does in open ones, making it a truly flexible choice.
Combos for green kitchen cabinets
In situations where only a complete overhaul will do, dark green kitchen cabinets bring a touch of daring sophistication to your décor whereas lighter, earthy tones project a more rustic visual. 
Aria White brick tile | 10x30cm ceramic wall tile and Metro White Gloss Bevelled Brick wall tile | 10x20cm ceramic wall tile
The dark intensity of these green kitchen cabinets sits beautifully underneath the crisp marble-effect worktops. The additions of the on-trend gloss white brick style tiles craft a stunning contrast between cabinet, background and accenting metallic finishes. Juxtapose different tiling patterns to add a little je ne sais quoi.
Hard Rock Black wall tile | 25x75cm Ceramic
Deep green cabinets also lean to black and grey textures. Such combinations make for a chic dramatic effect. Think slate tiled walls paired with cabinet mood lighting resting on a natural stone effect porcelain floor to accentuate your style.
Or if you’re partial to the dark side but want to imbue more light, a charcoal brick feature wall or splashback against a soft background could satisfy your curiosity nicely.
London Brick Multicolour tile | 6x25cm porcelain wall and floor tile
A hint of sage on these cabinets balances beautifully with a light sage tile splashback to create a calming and welcoming kitchen area. Parallel with bare-brick effect wall tiles and accent with metallic kitchen door handles to round off the earthy aesthetic beautifully.
Take it to the kitchen floor
The kitchen floor is an important but often overlooked part of kitchen décor; a well thought out kitchen floor can pull together the whole style subtly or overtly, depending on your vision. It also has the power to change the whole feel of your kitchen, simply by being the only thing you’ve updated.
With that in mind, here’s a few ideas to get you going:
Designed with a deliberate worn vintage effect, this sage rustic floor tile will enhance your country kitchen game when partnered with a variety of tile types and pastel-coloured cabinets.
Milan Grey 10mm Porcelain Tile 60x60cm | indoor/outdoor living
Grey is one of those colours that can set off the shades around it; be it modern, contemporary styling or traditional, farmhouse themes, grey goes well with many different kitchen designs.
If you want your grey kitchen tiles to ‘pop’, grout in white or a light colour. Prefer to blend them in? No problem; grey grout’s your go-to. But if you want sharp definition, dark grout is where it’s at.
