For walls, both wallpaper with a thematic print and just painting are suitable. If the walls are plain, the drawing can be on an apron or tabletop. Green dishes on a white table look no less stylish.
A green kitchen with white appliances is very relevant in this case, and the apron and work surface should be green, like the walls, but half a tone brighter.

Green furniture, white walls
An interesting combination for a white-green kitchen. Unlike many compositions, it allows you to use both soft pistachio and rich emerald. Green furniture attracts the eye and even prints are unnecessary here. Drawing is possible on curtains or an apron.
In this combination, a certain amount of black inclusions is allowed, but they must be used very carefully, and only as small accents.
The "chip" of such interiors is the game of contrasts. There's no place here smooth transitions, and each line is a clear border of color. Most often, this combination is used in strict interiors, such as art deco or classicism.
Horizontal division
The combination of white top and green bottom is rightfully considered the most pleasing way for the eyes to distribute color. It is most associated with nature, and therefore harmoniously fits into any style from pop art to baroque. Everything will depend on the design of the furniture, and the chosen shade.
With horizontal division, it is possible to use the entire gamut of green, but special attention should be paid to the border of the transition and interspersed with other colors. A black countertop with a green apron looks very stylish in such an interior, which are the transition.
Details and accents
An ideal option for lovers of experiments and non-standard solutions. Bright accents, sharp transitions, all this can be achieved interspersed with colors. The less logic the better. Complete freedom of imagination and an endless field for self-expression.
But don't go overboard with mixing. Between design and chaos exists a fine line, which must be caught in such an interior, so as not to end up with a tastelessly painted kitchen.
Thematic stencils or broken lines will look good. The main thing is less severity and more emotional frivolity.
Shades of pistachio and lime are considered ideal, they are lighter and will not create a feeling of discomfort. Unlike emerald, which must be used very carefully. This rich color attracts attention, and in such a kitchen there should not be accent details, the whole interior should be perceived as a whole.
Conclusion
It would seem that there is only one color, but how many options for its use. There is no limit to human imagination, and with the help of just two colors, it is possible to create not only a stylish kitchen, but also one hundred percent exclusive.
