Redoing your kitchen can cost a lot of money, even for something as simple as refinishing your cabinets. Considering the kitchen is often the heart of any home, it makes sense that you want it to look good and feel fresh. One color that Martha Stewart has chosen for her own kitchen cabinets is gray-green, which feels rather timeless. While you might want to refresh your own kitchen and give it a makeover inspired by Stewart, there are plenty of ways to incorporate her gray-green trend without completely repainting your cabinets. From the color of your pans to the rugs on your floor, these pops of color can change the entire look of your kitchen.

In a recent Instagram post from Stewart, she shared a throwback cooking video in which viewers could see the gray-green cabinets behind her. While gray might be less trendy, adding a touch of green to the mix adds sophistication to the room. So, it makes sense that you might want to incorporate it into your own kitchen design choices without any regrets. Plus, with these two colors coming together, it feels like a chance to add a touch of nature to your space. If you're looking to sprinkle some gray-green into your own kitchen to channel your inner Stewart, there are a number of options to choose from that can all be easily swapped out if you decide to change things up later on.

One of the easiest ways to add a pop of color, some warmth, and a refresh to a room is with a new rug. In your kitchen, consider incorporating a small runner, an actual kitchen mat, or even a larger rug that adds tones of gray-green to your decor. There are a number of places where you can pick up a stylish, small kitchen rug, including stores like Walmart, Costco, and Kohl's. You can even shop Martha Stewart's own kitchen rug line, including the Martha Stewart Miles Modern Diamond Kitchen Mat in a toned-down mint green.

If you have open shelving in your kitchen or even a hanging rack for your pots and pans, another way to bring the gray-green effect into the room naturally is with a cookware set in that shade. There are a few different brands that offer gorgeous ceramic pieces in a variety of colors. And yes, this includes shades of gray-green from brands such as The Big One or even Caraway. Not only does colorful cookware let you bring color into the kitchen, but it's useful as well.

On a similar note, you might want to pick items that you actually use every day. Consider adding hand towels, place mats, and even vases (like the ooit Pottery Modern Farmhouse Vases) that are in this colorway. Since these items are easy to replace, you can use them when you want to bring gray-green into your design and take them away when you want to switch to a different look or trend.
