Highlight Sage Green with Touches of Brass
Warm, earthy green hues make this kitchen a welcoming and delightful space. However, it’s the addition of brushed brass that really helps the beautiful green kitchen cabinets and walls stand out. From cabinet handles to appliances, light fixtures, and faucets, just the right amount of brass works well to showcase the warm green tones.
