What color of walls, floor and ceiling should I choose?
For a pistachio-colored kitchen set, you should carefully select the palette of finishing materials.
Ceiling
It is best to stick to classic white: the texture can be matte, satin or glossy. The latter in the form of stretched PVC fabric or panels is especially good in small rooms.
If the design of a pistachio kitchen involves imitation of rural life, pay attention to the wooden beams. They will add a special charm to your kitchen design.
Walls
There are two possible ways: to “dissolve” bulky furniture or to emphasize it. The dissolution effect is achieved thanks to the precise selection of tone-on-tone shades: pistachio wallpaper in the kitchen or paint allows you to achieve a seamless, uniform surface.
In the second situation, the choice of color depends on the size of the room: in kitchens more than 10-12 sq.m. Dark walls are allowed - brown, graphite, even black. Please note that dark shades in the kitchen are impractical - they will have to be washed more often, so materials should initially be selected with high abrasion resistance.
For small-sized ones, naturally, the best choice would be a light color scheme: white, beige, Gainsborough, pastel. It is not forbidden to make one of the walls an accent wall - bright or dark.
Advice! If the set is combined: only the bottom is pistachio, and the top, for example, is white - in order to “dissolve” the top row of cabinets, the walls should also be snow-white.

Floor
Kitchen flooring should be non-slip, dirt-masking, easy to clean, and resistant to washing and abrasion. Therefore, when choosing tiles, pay attention: no gloss or deep tones. Laminate, linoleum or PVC with a beautiful wood texture are also suitable: specks are not visible on such surfaces and they go well with pistachio cuisine.
What curtains are suitable?
Although a pistachio kitchen in the interior attracts attention in itself, it still requires additional decor in the form of textiles. The most important attribute in this category is curtains.
Avoid using flying light tulle and curtains in the kitchen - they look incredibly gentle, but are dangerous (especially in apartments with gas stoves). In addition, they are impractical - they get dirty quickly and require frequent washing. Therefore, roller blinds or Roman blinds, as well as blinds, would be more appropriate. They are less dirty, and during cleaning they just need to be wiped with a damp cloth. Cafe curtains will harmoniously suit a pistachio kitchen in the Provence style.
As for color, it all depends on the chosen range: blackout is not required here, so the curtains can even be white. If the combination is chosen to be more contrasting, let them emphasize the additional color: brown, yellow, red, purple.

Which countertop and backsplash are suitable?
Pistachio-colored kitchens go well with almost any countertop: a white set will look gentle, a wooden set will look natural, and a black set will look extravagant. Therefore, style is more important than color when choosing a work surface.
Cozy kitchens in a rustic style are best complemented by a countertop made of natural wood or its imitation. For classics, white marble or acrylic is more suitable, but if you want something more contrasting, choose gray or black stone.

It is appropriate to make an apron for a pistachio kitchen under the countertop, or choose a plain tile or glass. Tile format - any. From small hogs or hexagons to large-sized porcelain tiles.
If you choose a bright or dark accent in addition to pistachio, the backsplash is exactly the place to use it. Glossy yellow or blue solutions look impressive.
Features of pistachio color in the kitchen
This tone is obtained by mixing two colors - yellow and green. The pistachio shade is a little softer than green, and much richer than the olive palette. It is rightfully considered calm and has a positive effect on the human nervous system.
Pistachio color calms and helps to concentrate.
A person, being surrounded by this range, does not get irritated or tired. By giving preference to pistachio color, you can fill the space with freshness, joy and positive energy. This option will be an excellent solution for the kitchen, as it does not suppress or awaken the appetite on a subconscious level.

What styles is it suitable for?
The use of pistachio color in the interior is not justified in all styles: for example, for minimalism or high-tech it is better to choose something more neutral.
But for classics, including modern ones, kitchens in pistachio tones are an excellent alternative to boring beige or gray.
Yellow-green is also often used in rustic styling: Provence, with its floral prints and carved fronts, is especially good in pistachio. And in country style, the shade of green harmoniously combines with natural wood.
Don't be afraid to use complex shades: they attract attention, add personality and help you find yourself in your interior.
Successful color combinations
Many colors go well with pistachio, but there are a number of obvious favorites.
White color
The union of white and pistachio flowers is the most versatile and pure combination. Moreover, in combination with pistachio color, you can safely use different shades of white, even beige.
Tip: if a pistachio-colored kitchen design combined with white turns out to be too dull and pale, you can safely add a brighter third color. A lemon shade of yellow or even a golden color is perfect for this role.
Black color
This combination will definitely look stylish and catchy, however, it is important to take into account several nuances.
- This color combination is suitable for a modern interior
- On a glossy finish, black and pistachio colors will appear better and brighter
- The color scheme is not suitable for a small kitchen, as black reduces the space.
Brown color
If you want to add not only comfort, but also luxury and sophistication to the interior of a pistachio-colored kitchen, then you can safely turn to brown. Only by trying to combine these colors can you make sure that their combination is harmonious.
Tip: Avoid light shades of brown. Against their background, the pistachio color will look dull and pale.
Grey colour
This color combination will look advantageous if you choose the right shade.
Light shades of gray do not look very good in combination with pistachio color. Light shades of gray exude a coldness that even overshadows the warmth of “pistachio.” Such a union will look dull, causing melancholy and sadness.
But a metallic shade of gray or “wet asphalt” will add depth to the room’s design and emphasize style.
Azure color
A rather unusual and bright combination will suit extraordinary individuals. It is best to combine: azure, pistachio and white colors.
Tip: if the kitchen windows face north, the combination of pistachio and azure colors will give coolness instead of warmth and comfort.
