Just by choosing a pistachio shade to decorate your kitchen, you can achieve several goals at once: make the room brighter, cozier and more cheerful. This shade is best suited for rooms facing north or west. On the gloomiest and cloudiest day, the atmosphere of early spring will always reign here.
Pistachio cuisine in Provence style
Pistachio color in the kitchen interior
To make sure that this not the most trivial shade is more suitable than others for a particular kitchen, studying its characteristics, pros and cons, as well as considering options for use (as the main and auxiliary tones) will help.
Color characteristics
Pistachio is characterized as warm, light and airy, and is sometimes called the shade of young foliage, indicating a spring mood. You can get it by mixing two colors in a certain proportion: yellow and blue-green. Different styles of interior design use pistachio as a base tone: Provence, classic, hi-tech, loft, retro, country, etc.
Light green kitchen-living room in neo-classic style
Regardless of the lighting, this color remains virtually unchanged. The subject remains equally intense and positive.
Advantages and disadvantages of use
The shade has many advantages, but most often designers mention the following:
- ease of combination with most other colors;
- looks equally attractive on glossy facades and deliberately rough-cut wood, wallpaper and tiles, suspended ceilings and linoleum;
- helps to relax and recharge with a positive mood, according to psychologists, does not tire the eyes;
- visually gives volume to the room and does not “steal” light, so it is used as the main one in dark rooms, and auxiliary in light ones.
The disadvantages of color include the following:
- cannot be used as a basis for a monochrome interior, since without color additions the situation in the house will be pale;
- soiled - all dirt is visible against its background, so the kitchen will need to be cleaned frequently.
The lack of light is almost not felt
Pistachio as an accent or separate color
Designers claim that green shades can be introduced into the interior in any quantity. They are used as a background, for furniture facades, and also as decorative accents. A large amount of pistachio color will make the atmosphere airy and light like spring.

Accents may vary. For example, pistachio tiles on a kitchen backsplash. It will look even brighter next to a light or dark set. A lamp of this color will make the interior play differently in a restrained palette.
In a retro-style kitchen, a refrigerator with a pistachio frame is an original detail that sets the tone for the entire setting.
Shades
This color has several shades, which are very popular in the decoration of various interiors, not just kitchens. You can choose according to your taste: light, yellowish, dark, with a beige undertone, almost green. The middle one has the highest saturation: it is closest to spring foliage.

Color combinations
As already mentioned, pistachio can peacefully coexist with many shades, and with some of them it forms a very stylish pair. Let's look at a few successful combinations.
Pistachio with white
The interior, in which these two colors dominate, has a calm, natural atmosphere, since universal white can softly set off even a rich variation of pistachio, letting even more light into the room.
In a small room for a teenager or student, you can profitably save space with the help of a new type of bunk bed: below is a desk, on top is a bed.
You can often find two options for using this combination. In the first case, one or more walls reflect a walnut shade, and the furniture is painted white. In the second, it’s the other way around, and this solution is more preferable for small spaces, as it allows you to visually expand the space, while creating a variety of colors.
Pistachio with blue
This pair usually does not act as the main color scheme due to the richness of the final design, but is harmonized with neutral inclusions. In the interior, it is often embodied in elements adjacent to each other, creating a lively, natural atmosphere.
It can be a sea or pastel shade - pistachio will form a successful combination with any of them. The success of the “union” lies in the fact that one color belongs to cold tones, and the other to warm ones.
Pistachio with yellow
Yellow will only emphasize the presence of this shade in the composition of pistachio. As a result, even a few details with such color scheme will make the room sunny and very warm - an ideal solution for houses whose windows face north, letting in little natural light during the day. Bright wall cladding will help enhance the effect, but this is a very bold design option.
Pistachio with brown
Brown can be presented as an independent color or as a finishing material - wood. The second option demonstrates a wide palette of not only textures, but also tones, among which it is worth giving preference to warm ones. They go better with pistachio, emphasizing its natural origin.
In the interior, it can be used to decorate walls - then the wooden set will stand out well against its background. The color can act as a textile, for example, for upholstery. This is a great combination that suits the classic style.
Pistachio color in the kitchen interior in combination with other shades
Choosing the right palette of colors in interior design is an important condition for obtaining a comfortable and aesthetic environment. In the catalogs of furniture manufacturers you can find the following popular pairs of shades.
Combination with olive
It would seem that such similar shades can “clog” the space in the apartment, making it faceless, but this is not so. Olive walls will highlight the lightness of furniture in a pistachio shade. Light beige floors and ceilings, as well as textiles and accessories, are harmoniously combined with them.

White top and pistachio bottom
The snow-white tone is an excellent companion with exceptional versatility. When paired, two such contrasting shades give the stunning effect of an expanded space filled with plenty of light. It is against a white background that the pistachio set will show the full depth of its color.
White is the second primary color
You can use a combination of these colors in any proportion in your design - the result will be attractive in all cases.
Pistachio-beige kitchen
The symbiosis with the color beige creates a calming effect that will elegantly fit into various stylistic concepts. This variation can be presented in different designs: beige walls and green furniture, or vice versa. The neutrality and balance of this palette will make the kitchen design sophisticated. This will look natural if the kitchen is corner or rather small.

Dark shades of natural wood
The combination of facades in shades of dark wood and light greenery looks catchy and stylish. The most popular is wenge. A similar palette is relevant for high-tech and neoclassical styles. Using gloss helps make colors brighter.
Set with wenge and pistachio facades
You should not use wenge at the same time as pistachio color in a small kitchen (for example, in a Khrushchev-era apartment), as visually this will make it even smaller and cramped.

The areas of application of the pistachio shade depend not only on the preferences of the owners, but also on the room and its conditions. Somewhere you need to create a calming atmosphere, and somewhere you need to add certain materials.

In such an environment, the process of cooking will turn into an exciting activity, as pistachio helps to increase the activity and mood of visitors.

In this space, it is often found in the form of wall tiles - the most versatile material for a work area that is constantly exposed to high temperatures, humidity and various types of pollution.
In the dining area, distant from the work area, you can choose pistachio-colored paint or wallpaper, since the conditions here are more stable. Washable wallpaper and other moisture-resistant varieties will do the job perfectly.
The shade is also used for furniture sets, with white, black or wooden countertops. This solution is well suited for Provence, classic, as well as modern style.
Pistachio color in the living room interior
In a place intended for relaxation in the company of loved ones or a good movie, color schemes play an important role in creating the right atmosphere. Pistachio is a very friendly summer shade, so its presence in the living room is not only permissible, but also highly desirable.
In spacious rooms, you can paint all the walls without worrying that the solution will overload the composition. Pastel colors are especially suitable for such purposes. In small-sized rooms, you can decorate only one part of the living room, for example, the central one - the one on which the TV screen is located.

Before ordering or purchasing ready-made furniture, you need to decide on its key characteristics: texture and design of facades, as well as choose the material.
Headset design
A key role in the design of kitchen furniture is assigned to facades. They are solid, glazed, open and combined. Any of these options is suitable for a kitchen in light green tones. In addition, in addition to choosing a design solution, it is worth thinking about the number of tiers: there can be two (floor and wall cabinets) or three (an additional tier of mezzanines).
U-shaped ceiling layout
Matte and glossy facades
The choice in favor of gloss is justified if:
- the room is cramped;
- little natural light;
- I want to emphasize the brightness of the color of the furniture;
- I’m not afraid of having to clean more often.
In a large, spacious room, matte furniture is often installed. The same can be said about kitchens with large windows facing south or east.

Kitchen material pistachio color
The most durable modern headsets are made from solid wood. Such furniture has only one drawback - the high price. Typically the wood is left covered in clear varnish to showcase its beauty. However, the Provence and country style is characterized by coating wooden furniture with a single-color paint, for example, a pistachio shade.
A significantly more affordable option is laminated chipboard or MDF, as well as plastic. Facades made from such materials are suitable for styles: art deco, Mediterranean, modern, hi-tech, retro and others.

Choosing a style
As mentioned above, and as designers say, you can decide on more specific color solutions only after deciding on the style in which the room will be designed.
The choice of style affects, for example, the material and shape of the furniture, the color and manner of laying out the apron, what kind of accessories such an interior will be filled with, and much more.
A pistachio-colored kitchen looks great in Provence and country style. This color is also popular among admirers of the Mediterranean style.
And in more modern styles you can find familiar shades.
Accommodation options
You can arrange furniture in different ways. The position of windows, front door, water pipes, exhaust ventilation and other factors are taken into account.
Angular
Placing cabinets along two adjacent walls is a popular solution for a small kitchen with a square or similar shape. Typically, the arrangement covers the wall opposite the entrance and any adjacent wall (usually the one that does not have a window).
Angular arrangement
Straight
More suitable for rooms with an elongated (rectangular) shape. Furniture is lined up along a blank wall, filling the free space as tightly as possible to leave more space for the dining group.
Direct location
With an island
A good solution for a spacious room. An island can only be a work area with cabinets and shelves under the tabletop, or a combined unit with a dining table (bar counter).
Kitchen with island
With bar counter
The cafe style is very popular, and an absolutely irreplaceable element helps to achieve such a special atmosphere in the kitchen: a bar counter with high chairs.
It can be placed next to the work area or at a distance, but its design must certainly resonate with the main furniture group.
Bar counter saves space
U-shaped
A universal solution for very large and medium-sized rooms. Usually only the entrance area remains free of furniture. The advantage of this layout is the maximum filling of the available space with sectors for storing dishes and food.

Color combinations in the interior
Pistachio is ideal for modern style kitchens
Pistachio goes well with many colors. It is color combinations that allow you to create a variety of solutions and change interiors beyond recognition:
- Pistachio and light green : an ideal combination for large rooms. The best option would be a combination of pistachio walls and a light green set.
Important: In the tandem of pistachio and light green, it makes sense to add a white accent - as curtains on the windows and a tablecloth on the table. This will make the interior fresher and brighter.
- Pistachio and warm wood color : a wonderful combination for creating country-style interiors. Creates a feeling of warmth, spaciousness and closeness to nature. The pistachio-colored kitchen walls are perfectly set off by natural wood furniture. You can use peach and orange as additional color accents.
- Pistachio and Pearl : Pearl and all gray shades soften pistachio and emphasize its depth. This combination is rare due to the wary attitude towards gray in the interior. Meanwhile, pistachio furniture against the background of gray-pearl walls creates an atmosphere of special comfort in the kitchen.
- Pistachio and white : A classic color combination. A kitchen with this solution always looks respectable, fresh and elegant. You can safely use cinnamon shades as color accents.
- Pistachio and black : Looks more than extravagant. This combination of colors does not tire, which is a valuable quality for interiors.
Important : Pistachio walls and a black apron look great in combination with a black and white set.

Pistachio-colored walls will make the kitchen interior calmer and warmer
The shade of pistachio cuisine depends on the lighting - if the glow of the lamps has a yellow tint, then pistachio will be more saturated, if white, then closer to light green
Pistachio walls in the kitchen
You can get such a beautiful wall color in different ways. The simplest is to paint, but there are other options. Pistachio walls look harmonious against the background of light furniture and the same floor.
Wallpaper
Pistachio wallpaper in the kitchen must certainly be made of moisture-resistant material (for example, matting for painting). It is not necessary to fill all the walls with them; it is enough to decorate some area to obtain an attractive result, especially when the color is repeated in the furniture set.

Backsplash tiles
Ceramic tiles (tiles) in a pistachio shade or with a pattern of this color are a bright element of kitchen interior design.
It looks especially impressive in combination with simple neutral tones: white, black, silver, beige.

Other finishing options
Along with traditional types of finishing, you can consider other options for decorating walls: textured plaster, facing with natural or artificial stone, painting on plaster, covering with plastic or decorative panels. You can give the desired shade to any material to get a beautiful and cozy room.

Distinctive qualities of pistachio color
When gluing pistachio-colored wallpaper in the interior, you don’t need to think about whether the background will change when using a dark frame or whether it will be too intrusive in combination with white.
Where can you find pistachio blossom? Yes, almost everywhere! It may be present: 1. In the living room 2. Bedroom 3. Children's room 4. Bathroom 5. Hallway 6. Hall and other rooms available in the house. Do you know why designers actually like this color so much? The secret is that in addition to its natural beauty, pistachio has such a rare gift as unambiguity. When gluing pistachio-colored wallpaper in the interior, you don’t need to think about whether the background will change when using a dark frame or whether it will be too intrusive in combination with white.

The second remarkable feature of color is its readiness to work together with other tones of the palette. Moreover, in the decor, the color of unripe pistachios does not necessarily have to serve as the main background; it can be present as accent accessories. But no matter how color is introduced into the decor of the room, the overall picture will always be fresh and life-affirming.
You can talk about the unusualness and commonality of this original spectrum of green for quite a long time, but it is much more practical to consider its originality using specific examples of color combinations.
How to make the floor and ceiling
The most popular materials for finishing kitchen floors are tiles and laminate. Tile is usually chosen in a large format, and laminate is used to imitate natural stone or parquet boards. The shade is selected to match the color of the walls, most often in wood or light beige tones. Dark brown (chocolate and coffee) and gray shades also look beautiful.
The tiles on the floor echo the colors of the walls and furniture
Often the ceiling is left white or painted in neutral shades. When using tension and suspended structures, individual elements can be decorated in light green tones.

Using a light green color on the ceiling visually “lowers” it.
Living room decoration
Living rooms decorated in light green tones look original and natural. A particularly relevant solution is to use green color in rooms facing north. In this case, natural color refreshes the room, adding to it a feeling of comfort and warmth.
If your home has already had a pistachio living room for a long time, its interior can be updated by adding light green accessories. By changing the furniture from the usual upholstered furniture to rattan or wood, you can create an island style in your living room.
If you want to create an original interior in the photo, it is recommended to paint two adjacent walls in a rich chocolate color, and cover the rest with snow-white paint or wallpaper. By complementing the room with light green accessories and lemon covers on the furniture, you will get a fresh interior of your usual living room.
In combination with light green color, fresh flowers, floral patterns, natural fabrics and numerous decorative pillows look great.
In conclusion, we note that if you want to create a cheerful, elegant and fresh environment in your home, you should give preference to pistachio color. Thanks to its naturalness, versatility, and relevance, light green allows you to refresh boring interiors, create coziness and comfort in the room.
Combining perfectly with other colors, pistachio can be used in any room, in any stylistic direction.
Tabletop material and color
In a kitchen with pistachio furniture, a countertop in shades of natural stone and solid wood, acrylic stone or laminated chipboard looks advantageous. Brown, chocolate, coffee, ash, smoky - all these colors are perfect.
A light countertop unloads the interior
Other furniture
A dining group with chairs or a sofa is part of the kitchen furnishings, along with cabinets, so its color and design are selected based on general rules. So, with light green walls, the set is installed in light, pastel or beige colors. On the contrary, with neutral tones of walls and floors, but bright cabinets, the dining group shows restrained shades. The color of the chairs (upholstery) and table should ideally be combined with the palette of the floor, walls and ceiling.
Pistachio-colored set
Very contrasting color combinations of main and auxiliary furniture in the kitchen are appropriate within modern styles (high-tech, minimalism, neoclassicism), and for a classic-style interior, colors are selected only that are close to each other.
Combinations of pistachio color in clothes
As mentioned earlier, pistachio is ideal for creating romantic, summer looks. Successful combinations of this color with others for this style have already been formed, and we will now get acquainted with them, so as not to wonder in the future: what color goes with pistachio in clothes?
- Pistachio + white
This combination can already be considered a classic for summer. Most often it can be found in a look with a white top and trousers, shorts or skirts in pistachio shades. However, sets with a white bottom and top in light green shades look no less bright and harmonious. This combination looks bold and is especially suitable for young girls. You should also not avoid dresses made in white and pistachio tones.
- Pistachio + beige
Often both of these colors in images are considered complementary to other, more saturated colors. However, they look harmonious in a duet and are ideal for a casual and formal look for spring. It is worth paying attention to beige sets with a skirt and jacket, complemented by a light pistachio blouse. Due to the wide palette of shades of both colors, you can create both calm and bright and daring images.
- Pistachio + blue
This unexpected color combination is perfect for young girls who want to emphasize their individuality. Summer dresses or overalls look especially good in this range, but you can also often see sets of a skirt or shorts and a light top or blouse. Glass or epoxy resin decorations also help to diversify such a bright image.
There are many other, less expected combinations. Their examples are presented in the photo:
A person’s mood and well-being are very closely related to his color environment. It's hard to convince yourself to relax in a room where the walls are decorated, for example, in burgundy or bright red tones. Pistachio color in the interior of a room is considered universal. It easily combines with many shades, does not tire, and gives any room special energy and freshness. It is loved equally by novice designers and masters of their craft.
Subtleties of design
The effect of the interior largely depends on the correct selection of accessories. Not only colors are important, but also the correct placement of accents.
Color of household appliances and their placement
Finding a refrigerator, oven or microwave with an unusual body color on sale is possible, but difficult. Therefore, if the shades do not match, it is best to hide the built-in equipment behind the facade doors.
Placement of household appliances
Door decoration
A true classic are doors in white or wood tones. For a kitchen with pistachio cabinets or trim, both options would be ideal.
Accessories and dishes
All these items are assigned the role of decoration, so their design is selected in accordance with the style of the interior in order to further emphasize it.
The main thing is not to overdo it; just a few original “strokes” are enough.

Pistachio color in the interior, combinations with other colors.
What does pistachio color look like? For modern interiors, the use of pistachio color is not something rare or new. Both beginners and professional designers love to work with this energetic and joyful shade of green. And their clients are only happy if the room shines with splendor. I invite you to take a tour of the world of pistachio interiors, which look simply amazing.
Pistachio interior, advantages
Do you know why all designers love this color so much? In addition to its natural beauty, the color boasts its uniqueness. What does this mean? The fact is that lighting has virtually no effect on the pistachio color, nor does the framing. Pistachio has quite a few additional shades, which makes it very, very predictable in the interior. For example, if you decide to put pistachio wallpaper on your walls, you won't have to worry about whether it will turn grassy when using a black frame, or whether it will be too eye-catching against a white background.
The second thing that modern designers love so much is color - it is excellent compatibility with many colors, including peach, pink, red, yellow and, of course, white. Classic colors, one and all, have a strictly positive attitude towards it. Finally, the third positive feature is its versatility. This color can be used to paint kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, and children's rooms. Moreover, you can use not only the main color, but also the color of accents and accessories. In all cases, the picture will look surprisingly fresh and energetic.
Pistachio color with white
As I already said, the color we are considering fits perfectly with classic shades of white, including cream and light beige. The snow-white shade also does not conflict, filling the room with airiness and spaciousness. At the same time, I would not recommend using darker shades of green in this combination, which against the background of soft pistachio will simply look dirty and rough.
And one more general rule. If you use dark colors, try to keep them no higher than floor level. This will take away the visual dissonance. It is not at all necessary to use pistachio as an accent, despite all its splendor. The opposite picture, in which the accent color is white, will also look quite natural. The slenderness of the interior will be achieved by the vertical arrangement of white accents. But if you don't want your interior to look too sterile, use coral, yellow, clover pink, peach, orange and warm cream colors to dilute it.
Pistachio color combinations in the interior
• Pistachio with natural materials. An amazing feature of the color in question is the lack of conflict with materials such as bamboo, straw, stone and wood. Therefore, if you have natural wooden furniture in your bedroom, you can use it without hesitation.
• Pistachio with deep flowers. Our color loves support from wine red, violet, blue, emerald, and sea green. The combination in fusion style used in living rooms is especially impressive. Pistachios will refresh the rich darkness of sapphire blue and violet.
• Pistachio and pastel colors. Among the pastel colors that I would recommend using with pistachio, I would especially like to highlight blue and turquoise, which make the picture more interesting and rich.

Enjoying work and relaxation in your own kitchen is easy if every detail of the interior takes care of the well-being and mood of the owner. And one of the most important roles is assigned to color. Designers admit that pistachio for the kitchen is one of the most successful options.
Pistachio color in different styles
This shade is used when decorating interiors in various styles.
It is unambiguous, i.e. in any lighting it is perceived the same and does not change shades. It is friendly to many colors and goes well with various finishing materials. However, in order for the interior design to “play”, you need to know how and where to use pistachio color. For a home in a classic style, you should choose dark shades of green. Only details can be bright in combination with other colors and shades. The modern style allows it to be used as a compositional center with various splashes of color. In Provence or country, you need to be careful not to overdo it with the shade. It is acceptable only in pastel colors and for individual interior items or as a finishing option. Since the Scandinavian style prefers white, pistachio can only be present as separate interior details.
When decorating a room in the styles of pop art, eclecticism, and kitsch, it is better to use bright inclusions and accents. Since it goes well with chrome interior parts, plastic and gloss, it is great for decorating a room in minimalist, fusion and loft styles. Organically pistachio, like all shades of the green palette, fits into the eco-style.
So, it can be made the main one in the design, or it can be used as a bright accent in various decorative elements: upholstery, textiles, furniture, etc.
