Using color in the kitchen is a big trend. When so many appliances come in industrial-looking stainless steel, the kitchen can get a bit bland. Adding some color is a definite “do,” but how much is too much?
I saw this picture of a Bruce Bolander kitchen design on Dwell and kept waffling in my thoughts about it. “It’s crazy.” Then, “No, it’s crazy good.” I think I’ve landed on the side of loving this kitchen. The bright color adds a huge amount of personality in a space that is all about the homeowner. Everything that comes out of your kitchen says a little bit about who you are, so why shouldn’t its look reflect you too? Would you ever do something this bold in your home?
I like the look of this kitchen, but I would go with red instead of green cabinets. It's my favorite color, and it would contrast nicely with the green foliage outside (I think the green in this kitchen clashes a bit with the green outdoors). I would keep the light blue backsplash — lately I've developed a liking for red with shades of turquoise, and that blue is close enough!
I love the green kitchen with the green of the hillside. It looks like a watercolor painting. Red would really spice it up and give a Tex-Mex vibe, but I like the overall effect of the green on green.
I actually like the green of the kitchen, but I think it would look more spectacular in a tropical setting rather than an arid southwestern one. But that's just me! Everyone's tastes are different, and that's what makes design so much fun!
Green is my all-time favorite color, so obviously I love this. I don't know if I could handle it in my own home, but it's definitely gorgeous.
This is amazing! So bold, yet it doesn't overpower with color because of the other elements within the space, such as the floor-to-ceiling glazing, and the beautiful view outside.
Normally I'm not a fan of color on cabinets like this, but obviously I've just never seen it done really well. This is awesome! I would love to have a kitchen like this!
totally! it's crazy cool! dont be scared of color!
i think that this is a finest work ever made nice location cool color one of my very favorite colors ..everything place in such a nice order

I LOVE the idea of this kitchen it's now in my Link text<Small Home Kitchen Remodeling Ideas> .
No, I think the color clashes with the fabulous outside views. The bold clear green actually stops the eye, making the expense of the glass walls a waste of money. Also, clear colors don't wear on the eye well, and cause your design to feel dated quicker.
I totally agree with Donna – I didn't even notice the outdoors as the green stopped me cold – with all those windows, I am confused as to what they are trying to feature – indoors or outdoors? They certainly don't seem seamless in this color pallette.
I want to like it since I love bold colors, but have to agree with those who say it clashes with the natural greens outside. Almost any color BUT bright green would've been better. Red would've been my first choice.
This is absolutely revolting! I would hate to have to wake up to that green every morning. Yuk!
I agree, this would put a person's entire central nervous system into shock each day!! Yuk is right.
I love it. I just painted my kitchen cabinets "starless night", which is a dark, dark blue. I already had white counter tops and white walls and white and brow/gray tile. Mine is a kitchen/dining combo room. I found a bright red/blue/green/yellow/assorted color picture at a thrift store for $10 and painted two other abstracts myself to kinda match, but harmonize with the cheapo I purchased. It looks spectacular. Everyone says, it dramatic. I feel so much better when I walk in there. Total cost of makeover, about $250. Go green! By the way I'm 73. It's never to late.
i love the color! We were actually about to use this color on the walls of our new kitchn (until we found an amazing backsplash tile and decided to go a different way at the last minute). I'm not sure I would do it for the cabinets though. At least not in my Midwest Tudor home. I would totally use them in a big city loft or modern home. Not a fan of the red some people are talking about… Totally love the green
Most people are Color blind they choose white or hues of beige …..my daughters kitchen is walls of
Arizona Sunset a red -orange , cabinets of deep Turquise and a center work table of deep vilolet blue with a abstract painted top with all these colors of course she is a Airline Pilot and a Painter …
Jewel, this sounds like a beautiful place to create wonderful meals — whether for herself alone when she gets home from a trip, or for family when she has a few days at home to prepare a good family meal, and certainly for a great party for more friends and family on those special occasions. I might never have thought of those colors but i would love to use them in a "dream kitchen" i carry in my mind/heart. thanks for the inspiration! best wishes to your daughter.
I think that if the space allows for it, go crazy. I love this kitchen. But what works here would not work in my tiny closed off Galley kitchen.
Wow love it — but I like other posters, would love it better in red. And please HGTV — I am so tired of white kitchens – white cabinets, white backsplashes. UGH. boring boring boring.
Horrible, I'd say. It almost gives me a headache to see it online.
Hideous! One needs to think about what the food will look like in the environment. Obvously not to be used for cooking.

I think it's terrible. Ugly no matter what the dramatic color is. It's quite costly to do all that color on cabinets only to get tired of it in six months or a year. Put the color on the wall. It's easier and cheaper to change.
I agree, makes me sick. Reminds me of a "Mr. Yuck" sticker from the '80's.
We recently did a small makeover on our kitchen. We actually picked green but for the walls and painted the cabinets black to match with our black appliances. And it looks stunning, in my opinion!
This is my dream kitchen! I want it!
this is really very beautiful kitchen also my destiny.
