The finish helps mellow down the rough and heavy look of the other surface finishes, and adds a more cheerful vibe to the space.

If you enjoy the brightness of white, but want to try a fresh new look without sacrificing the bright look an all-white area gives, using mint could be the perfect option. Choose a shade of mint that is very light, and be surprised how it is able to give a different, fresher appearance in a very subtle way.
Olive Green Kitchen Cabinets

Green and Brown Kitchen Cabinets
You don’t have to repaint all of your cabinets, you can just paint one section to freshen up their look. In this example, this Neoclassic style design repainted its walnut cabinetry with green and white to lessen make the space look brighter and to tone down the rich patterns of the wood grains.
Green Washed Kitchen Cabinets
A popular painting technique used to refurbish antique furnishings would be antique washing, also known as distressing. This technique are usually used on vintage pieces, giving it a more casual, rustic feel, while accentuating the classic features and natural imperfections of the piece. This old English style space has well preserved Oak distressed cabinets. Since the space is already full of wood finishes (both floor and ceiling has wood), antique washing the island was a great refurbishing decision as it helps break the heavy monotony of wood on wood.
If you have all white cabinets and decide you want to give your space a new look, one easy way is to paint your island in a different color. In this example, an antique wash was used on the island, making it stand-out against the all-white storage of the kitchen.
High Gloss Green Kitchen Cabinets

Using this shade on your cabinetry also helps complement warm brown/sienna-toned furniture pieces used on your space. This color has enough yellow/beige undertones so there’s no bold contrasts happening with the warmer brown colors.
Green Island with White Cabinetry
