It makes sense, then, that kitchen color schemes are moving away from uninspiring neutrals toward a palette of warm and welcoming shades. Since kitchen color schemes are often a long-term design investment, it's important to find the right balance between trending colors and those that offer timelessness. To do so, what better way than to hear firsthand from designers about the colors they're using above all else in the heart of the home for 2026, and beyond? ## The ‘Winning’ Color One kitchen color kept coming up when I asked designers for the color that they're most drawn to right now for the heart of the home: **green**. From soft, neutral-leaning greens to much darker and richer shades, designers are loving this nature-inspired hue for kitchens this year. But why are green kitchens a standout? According to designers, this soothing shade is a rebellion against the all-white and neutral kitchens of years past, while feeling grounding and livable. It's a happy medium between color and neutrals. ## Why Are Green Kitchens So Popular in 2026? Green is a universally-loved color, one that feels as at home in traditional kitchens as it does in modern homes. Below, designers explain why they're drawn to this nature-inspired hue for kitchens this year. ### Green Represents a Shift Away From Stark Minimalism Arguably, the most prominent reason designers cite for the appeal of green kitchens is the shared fatigue surrounding white kitchens that feel stark and lack warmth. 'Green offers something that so many all-white kitchens have been missing for years: a sense of **warmth, permanence, and personality**, explains the Washington, D.C., designer Christopher Boutlier. 'Kitchens became so focused on being bright, polished, and universally appealing that many started to feel a little sterile,' he continues to explain. 'Green brings life back into the space.' Designers agree that the overly perfected kitchen feels outdated in 2026, championing a return to something more relaxed and warm. 'There was a period where perfectly neutral kitchens with a little wood were all the rage,' comments designer Ashton Taylor. 'I think people are growing tired of everything looking the same and are back to **craving color and originality**. Green makes a statement, light neutrals play it safe.' ### Green Offers a Sense of Calm Color psychology tells us that green makes us feel calm, not least because it feels closely linked to the natural world. In 2026, in a time of digital fatigue, it makes sense to use this color in interiors to create spaces that restore and provide balance. 'Nature is the ultimate stress reliever; if we bring a little of that indoors, our homes can also be a source of calm,' says the Atlanta, Georgia-based designer Laura Jenkins. 'Green continues to resonate because it feels inherently grounding,' add the designers Elizabeth Bennett and Mallory Robins from Kobel + Co. 'In a moment when kitchens have become the true center of daily life, there’s a desire for spaces that feel **calm, collected, and connected to nature**.' Gabrielle Bove of Boston-based Opaline Interiors Studio also comments on the desire for homes that feel like a sanctuary – something that green can help to create: 'I think people are craving **warmth, shelter, refuge, and coziness** in their homes as a direct foil to their busy lives.' ### Kitchens Are Being Redefined as Living Spaces There is a wider shift in the interior design world that is repositioning what are typically utilitarian rooms into lived-in, cozy spaces that offer warmth and character. 'Kitchens are no longer purely functional,' says Florida-based designer Lauren Lichko. 'They are true living spaces. Color, especially green, adds depth and character in a way neutrals often cannot. It brings dimension without overwhelming the room.' When seeking to create cozy kitchens that are as welcoming as they are functional, green is often an effective color choice since it feels natural, while generally pairing well with the materials typically found in this room. 'Green introduces nuance, adding warmth without heaviness, and color without chaos,' explain Elizabeth Bennett and Mallory Robins. 'It also creates a natural bridge between materials like wood, stone, and brass, helping the kitchen feel more layered and intentional.' 'We are seeing more focus on the furnished kitchen: built-in cushioned banquettes, café-style sofa and lounge chair arrangements, hutches with cherished displays of family heirlooms and collections,' adds Gabrielle Bove. 'Richer color schemes promote this and feel more personal.' ### Green Offers Versatility and Timelessness It's clear that designers are favoring, in general, a shift away from stark minimalism and towards cozy, lived-in spaces that are led by personality. When considering which colors work best to reflect this, green feels like a fairly 'safe' choice. Unlike bolder color trends – think burgundy, yellow, or certain shades of blue – green somehow feels more livable, and, with the right shade of green, almost like an extension to neutral color palettes. 'There is a versatility to green that is driving its popularity,' says Kristina Khersonsky of Los Angeles-based STUDIO KEETA. 'Green kitchens have a way of feeling both fresh and interesting and yet also grounding at the same time.' What's more, green is a versatile color that adapts well to different styles, homes, and kitchens. 'Green can be tweaked to work with many different styles – from Victorian to more contemporary,' says Laura Jenkins. ## Designer Perspectives on Green Kitchens for 2026 While vibrant variations of green have cropped up in recent trends, with the likes of sour shades such as chartreuse, designers are placing particular focus on earthy variations of this color. 'We’re especially drawn to softened, complex greens,' say Elizabeth Bennett and Mallory Robins. 'Think sage or earthier, nature-inspired hues. These hues create a quiet, layered backdrop rather than a bold statement, allowing the kitchen to feel both tailored and relaxed. They reflect light beautifully and shift throughout the day, giving the space a sense of depth and movement without overwhelming it.' 'Soft, muted greens feel the most relevant,' agrees Dallas-based designer Lauren Saab. 'Tones that lean slightly gray or olive read more elevated than anything overly bright. They create a calm backdrop in a kitchen, which matters in a space used all day.' While soft shades of green seem to be a favorite right now, some designers are also enjoying using dark green paints in kitchens. 'I’m much more drawn to olive, moss, and smoky brown-greens than anything bright or overly fresh,' says Christopher Boutlier. 'Benjamin Moore’s Rooftop Garden is a favorite because it has depth without feeling heavy, and it reads almost like a natural material rather than a strong color statement. Those deeper greens create a mood that feels calm, grounded, and slightly moody in the best way. They make a kitchen feel established and architectural, almost as though it has always been there.' Some designers are also more drawn to vibrant shades of green. 'We have created many a moody kitchen, but lately I am drawn to the brighter shades of green,' says Laura Jenkins. 'I find that these brighter hues allow the natural light to shine through and feel lighter – brightening the mood. Maybe we are leaning towards 'happier' colors because the world feels heavy.' When designing a kitchen scheme around green, natural materials always work well. 'Green pairs really well with wood, no matter the depth of wood tone,' says Kristina Khersonsky. 'I am drawn to green kitchens – both light and dark hues – because it is such a seamless color to layer,' adds Meg Lonergan, who's based in Texas. 'We pair it with blue, yellow, pink, coral, white, and cream. Almost everything looks good with green, as it’s nature’s color.' For metal fixtures in a kitchen, designers say that brass is a go-to pairing when decorating with green, providing warmth and enhancing its lived-in feel. ## Were There Any Close Contenders? While green was the most popular kitchen color trend among the surveyed designers, warm-toned neutrals are also worth mentioning. Instead of the stark and bright white kitchens that have hugely dropped in popularity, some designers are favoring a revised palette of warm neutrals for 2026. 'We love Farrow & Ball's Shaded White for its rich, saturated quality,' explains the Utah-based designer Ali Henrie. 'It’s a timeless, versatile white that works beautifully across a range of kitchen styles. It creates a strong, neutral foundation, allowing elements like hardware, millwork, cabinetry details, and countertops to layer in seamlessly and feel cohesive, regardless of the selections.' Along with soft, warm-toned neutrals that feel timeless and subtly welcoming on the walls and cabinets, designers are using warm woods such as walnut to elevate neutral kitchens. 'I genuinely believe walnut in the next 'it' color,' says designer Theresa Ory. 'The warmth, depth, and softness walnut affords is top of the list lately.' ## How to Use Green In Kitchens Stylishly From green kitchen cabinets to painting the walls, there are lots of ways to add this trending shade to your space. Below, we've rounded up a few of our favorite ideas that feel design-forward and elevated. ### Pair Light Green With a Bold Color for a Playful Look Pairing light green paints with more colorful accents in kitchens creates a fun, design-led look, as seen in this modern kitchen with the blue wall tiles. 'I like using greens in a slightly more unexpected way – whether that is as a stain on a heavily grained wood or an unexpected sheen of green or the green alongside an expected color like an electric blue,' says Kristina Khersonsky. ### Use Warm Neutrals Alongside Green for a Timeless Space Alternatively, for a timeless and overall neutral look, use an earthy green paint on lower cabinets or a kitchen island, along with warm neutral walls and upper cabinets. 'I almost always pair it with unlacquered brass or aged bronze because those finishes develop character over time and keep the room from feeling too crisp,' says Christopher Boutlier. 'Accent colors like deep oxblood, warm cream, and muted blue can also work beautifully in textiles or adjacent rooms.' ### Pair Green Cabinets With Marble Countertops In this green kitchen, the marble countertops create an elevated and sophisticated look. 'We pulled soft sage tones from the Calacatta Monet marble,' explain Elizabeth Bennett and Mallory Robins. 'It reads as a neutral, making it incredibly livable while softening the hard surfaces typical of a kitchen. These soft sage greens bring a sense of ease that homeowners are craving right now.' It's clear that green kitchens are going to be significant this year. Many designers are favoring this shade above all others, whether it's with soft sage greens or more earthy olive tones. Either way, green is a grounding, nature-inspired hue that offers a sense of timelessness. By using this shade to complement the existing elements of your kitchen, from wood tones to marble countertops, it will feel quietly confident rather than trend-led.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>kitchendesign</category> <category>colortrends</category> <category>greenkitchen</category> <category>interiordesign</category> <category>2026trends</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sxYeL3ghtvZrwhouKq9Bhb-1600-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Inside Anduril's Secret Design Lab: How a Defense Startup Is Reinventing Warfare with Style]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/inside-andurils-secret-design-lab-how-a-defense-startup-is-reinventing-warfare-with-style</link> <guid>inside-andurils-secret-design-lab-how-a-defense-startup-is-reinventing-warfare-with-style</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:00:39 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[What’s the closest you’ve ever stood to a drone? Not a cute quadcopter, but a **military-grade death machine** that can carry enough warheads to obliterate a bridge, a tank, or a building? Sure, I’d heard of them. I’d seen them on the news. I’ve closely followed the drone war in Ukraine where every six weeks the Ukrainians or Russians break the rules with new hacks. But it wasn’t until I was standing in front of the **Fury**—an autonomous plane meant to fly alongside F-16s—that our *Terminator* era of warfare really hit me. This thing looks mean in an unknowable way, like a deep-sea predator that’s shed its gills and taken to the skies. It’s hard to look at the Fury without feeling a little afraid, and even a little disgusted. Yet, for all my qualms about military spending and dreams of a peace-filled world, I ultimately respond exactly as I’m supposed to: **I’m relieved that the Fury is on our side**. I’m standing next to **Jen Bucci**, the leather-jacket-clad head of design at **Anduril**, America’s hottest defense startup. She’s giving me a tour of the showroom, which looks like a Costco with unadorned concrete floors and a stockpile of products—underwater missiles, an autonomous submarine mothership, and vertical-launching drones—sold in bulk. We’re heading toward the **design lab**, where Bucci’s team of 50 designers craft the look and feel of Anduril’s offerings, from weapon shapes to marketing. I’m the first journalist invited inside, and from the moment I step in, it’s clear Anduril isn’t interested in being a traditional defense contractor. ### The Design Lab The lab is a playground of creativity. Designers work on everything from **user interfaces** for drone operators to the **physical aesthetics** of missiles. Bucci, an unapologetic **Power Rangers** fan, infuses the team with a sense of fun and purpose. “We’re not just making weapons; we’re making **experiences**,” she says. ### Redesigning Warfare Anduril’s approach is to make defense technology **intuitive and beautiful**. The Fury’s sleek, predator-like form isn’t accidental—it’s designed to intimidate and inspire confidence. The company believes that good design can **reduce errors** in high-stakes situations and even **deter conflict** by showcasing overwhelming capability. ### The Future With a $14 billion valuation, Anduril is pushing boundaries. Bucci’s team is exploring **AI-driven design** and **modular systems** that can be adapted quickly. The goal: make defense tech as innovative as consumer electronics. But the ethical questions remain. Can a beautifully designed weapon ever be justified? Bucci doesn’t shy away: “We’re building tools to protect lives. If we can do that with better design, we should.”]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>anduril</category> <category>defensedesign</category> <category>militarydrones</category> <category>productdesign</category> <category>warfareinnovation</category> <enclosure url="https://images.fastcompany.com/image/upload/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit/wp-cms-2/2026/04/13-91527326-anduril-HR.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[5 Game-Changing Design Trends from Salone del Mobile 2026 You Need to Know]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/5-game-changing-design-trends-from-salone-del-mobile-2026-you-need-to-know</link> <guid>5-game-changing-design-trends-from-salone-del-mobile-2026-you-need-to-know</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Apr 2026 18:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Since 1961, Milan has played host to **Salone del Mobile**, the world’s largest furniture fair and an essential event for architects, designers, and design aficionados. This year’s edition ran from April 21 to 26, welcoming 316,000 visitors to over 1,900 exhibitors, including new exhibitions like **Salone Raritas** (collectible design), **Aurea** (Architectural Fiction), and **Abito** (design-fashion ties). After navigating the massive pavilions, Surface spotted these five trends set to dominate interiors. ### 1970s Inspiration Remains, But the 1990s Are Catching Up A half century since the era of bell bottoms, many designers have turned to the **maximalism** and **low-slung furnishings** of the 1970s. At Salone, **Knoll** revived its 1973 Morrison Hannah Chair for European offices, while **Minotti** placed shag fur carpets in its '70s booth before transitioning to **1990s-inspired wares**, including oversized modular seating by GamFratesi, Hannes Peer, and Giampiero Tagliaferri. ### Build Your Own Conversation Pit Sofa cushions were thoroughly stuffed and puffed, with **insular arrangements** referencing the midcentury conversation pit. Large, curved sectionals dominated booths of brands like **Dedon, Minotti, Nii, and Tacchini**. **Norm Architects** created an elongated version for Audo Copenhagen, while **Acerbis** went literal with a communal lounge platform. **Claudio Salocchi's** Free System now includes new corner elements for added configuration. ### Cabinetry Gets Puzzling In contrast to simple Shaker-style cabinetry, exhibitors embraced the complex. **Xavier Lust's** Salone Raritas booth showcased an intricate gold satin-lacquered bar cabinet. **Ilmari Tapiovaara's** casework by La Permanente Mobil Cantù hid storage behind bookshelf panels. At **Zanat**, a chest of drawers by **Michele De Lucchi** was carved to appear interlocking. ### We All Just Want to Be Held—By Seating **B&B Italia** returned after a 25-year hiatus with a Formafantasma-designed booth, highlighting a **Vincent Van Duysen** outdoor chair with overstuffed cushions for an enveloping effect. **Minotti** offered curved upholstered backrests on dining and lounge chairs. **Kartell's** Super Tubby sofa by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba featured an angled section to hug the sitter, while **cierre1972** presented a pillows-on-frame model for total comfort. ### The Color of the Fair? Orange While neutrals were plentiful, many brands embraced color—especially **orange**. **Knoll's** Biboni lounge chair by Johnston Marklee stacked tiered curves in the hue. **Karl Andersson & Söner** presented a zigzag sofa in orange. **Campeggi's** Quilt Pipe sofa by Giulio Manzoni took a dustier approach. At Salone Raritas, **Nilufar** presented orange sconces, while **Su Yang Choi's** seaweed-based lighting and **Midtun's** cathedral glass-paneled table embraced shades at SaloneSatellite.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>salonedelmobile</category> <category>designtrends</category> <category>furnituredesign</category> <category>milan</category> <category>interiordesign</category> <enclosure url="https://www.surfacemag.com/app/uploads/2026/04/08_Salone_Raritas_MARTA_SALA_EDITIONS_photo_Saverio-Lombardi-Vallauri.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Transform Your Yard with Nicole Kidman's Vertical Garden Secret for Year-Round Privacy and Beauty]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/transform-your-yard-with-nicole-kidmans-vertical-garden-secret-for-year-round-privacy-and-beauty</link> <guid>transform-your-yard-with-nicole-kidmans-vertical-garden-secret-for-year-round-privacy-and-beauty</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2026 18:00:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[When asked about the size of their yard, most people simply measure the ground's surface area. However, experts understand that every garden holds more potential than meets the eye when you factor in vertical space. Nicole Kidman’s garden is a perfect example of this principle in action. When the actress shared her Golden Globes gown on Instagram, her lush **vertical garden** (serving as her backdrop) was impossible to ignore. The imagery shows a wooden fence entirely enveloped in English ivy, with trees and vines arching over the top, creating a **multi-layered canopy of greenery**. This approach maximizes plant density, enhances privacy, and creates the illusion of a much larger yard. ## The Masterclass in Vertical Gardening Master Gardener and author Thom Rutter explains: 'Nicole Kidman exemplifies how important it is to **maximize greenery in your yard** by filling fences and walls with climbing plants. By growing upwards, you can easily create a vertical garden that adds greenery to the boundary of your plot. Doing so is a clever way to make the most of your growing space, even in smaller yards.' The most straightforward way to replicate this aesthetic is by selecting plants that naturally reach for the sky. Rutter recommends: '**Climbing plants** – including English ivy or evergreen clematis – are ideal if you want to encourage birds, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to your yard. These two species are also ideal as they **retain foliage year-round**, meaning that whatever the season, your plot will remain green.' This year-round vibrancy is especially valuable during the dormant winter months when most gardens look bare. ## Native Alternatives for 2026 For those focused on local ecology and native planting, there are excellent alternatives available. 'For a native option, try growing **Clematis virginiana**,' Rutter suggests. 'This species produces a bounty of attractive white blooms in summer, growing best in sunny spots with plenty of moisture.' Whether you are working with a sprawling estate or a compact urban patio, **growing upwards** is the ultimate way to expand your horticultural horizons. Just take a cue from Nicole Kidman’s elevated green sanctuary.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>verticalgarden</category> <category>privacy</category> <category>climbingplants</category> <category>evergreen</category> <category>landscapedesign</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/LYj5McAJv5cVi7WrEXhvWB-1600-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Fan-Made Movie Posters Are Outshining Hollywood Originals: Here's Why]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/fan-made-movie-posters-are-outshining-hollywood-originals-heres-why</link> <guid>fan-made-movie-posters-are-outshining-hollywood-originals-heres-why</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 18:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description>< > I saw this and created this https://t.co/iLPHadlTDr pic.twitter.com/JXvriZ51td > — @cantworkitout (April 20, 2026) > The result.
