We place the right accents
Oversaturation with menthol shades has a negative effect on the overall composition. If you are not confident in your knowledge of color or do not want to rely on mint, try using this color as an accent color. It is enough if the shade is present in the textile ornament or wallpaper pattern. A glossy mint apron looks luxurious, especially in combination with brown.
Mint details look great on a snow-white background. The ornament can be floral, figured, abstract - depending on the chosen style. It is worth adding a bright blue touch to this picture - and you will get an incredibly beautiful design. Popular solutions for accenting menthol tones:
- towels, tablecloth, curtains;
- a wall in this color, decorated with monochrome photos in white mats;
- mint-tone mosaic and metallic shine of equipment.
In addition to detailed design, emphasis can be placed on the floor, walls, and ceiling. You should not choose a bright gloss for their design - it is better if they are matte. Against this background, a kitchen set in a different color would look best: red, catchy blue, white, wood color. It depends on the style decision.
Having chosen ceramic tiles as a material, you can safely experiment with mint, but it is better if it is of a pale, unexpressed tone.
The floor covering may not be monochrome. They look original: checkered, gray-white stripes. A spectacular accent is dishes in this range; it is better if it is a little richer than other menthol shades in the room.
Be sure to take into account the degree of illumination: in dark rooms use lighter colors, in well-lit rooms use bright, saturated colors.
The mint shade is calm, fresh and original, embodying the freshness of menthol, but in no way resembles an aromatic plant. Rather, the name of this shade was given associatively. Here green is combined with blue, resulting in a cool, light combination that can be presented in several shade solutions according to the degree of saturation:
A kitchen made in any of these shades looks cool and fresh. Colored decoration or furniture can give your home a positive mood and summer inspiration - they look noble and elegant, and also fill the room with space and light, especially if its windows face south.

Basic combinations
A mint finish or an equally cool kitchen set requires appropriate color additions. This shade combines perfectly with coniferous, emerald, blue-green or turquoise - those tones that are close to it in nature. Also, a harmonious combination is ensured when used with gray, beige, golden, milky, lilac. Gray is most often used - for example, such a tabletop balances a mint set, and the ceiling “dilutes” the walls.
The mint tone in the interior is always quite light and bleached. Experts do not recommend combining it with orange. As for contrasting tones, coral and pink are suitable.
