gasp when it saw Kohler 
bathrooms in living color. It set 
the design world on fire, with 
this country’s elite clamoring 
for color, color, color in their 
kitchens and baths, culminating 
in an exhibit of a color-
coordinated Kohler bathroom 
at the Metropolitan Museum of 
Art in 1929.
Last year, Kohler celebrated 
its 150th anniversary with a 
limited-edition Heritage Colors 
collection, and this year, that 
collection expands with the 
addition of Heritage Greens — 
Fresh Green, with its bright, 
lush vibes that bring the garden 
indoors; Teal’s dark, rich, vivid 
drama; and Aspen Green’s soft, 
soothing shade. These historic 
Kohler colors were selected to 
be revived this year because 
of their connection to nature, 
relation to well-being and 
diverse design sensibilities.
Eager to get started? Here 
are five ideas to green up your 

kitchens and baths.

Paint! The easiest and least 
expensive way to add a splash 
of green into your kitchen and 
bath is to paint one, or all four, 
walls in this trending shade. For 
kitchens, painted cabinets are 
all the rage. Why not give yours 
a facelift in green? For baths, 
accent with green towels and 
floor mats, and go for a vintage 
feel by including black or pink 
in the mix.

Large appliances and 
fixtures. Go for it! Stainless 
steel reigned supreme for years, 
but color is the emerging trend 
in kitchen appliances now. 
Major, high-end appliance 
manufacturers are offering 

lines in many shades of green, 
from light and subtle to dark 
and dramatic. But with this 
trend, you don’t have to go all 
in at once. One statement piece, 
like a deep teal farmhouse sink 
within a white countertop, is a 
showstopper.

Smaller kitchen appliances.

If you’re not in the market for 
a major kitchen remodel, you 
can still add a pop of green with 
smaller kitchen appliances like 
toasters, ceramic tea kettles, 
coffee makers and even tools 
like can openers, corkscrews 
and other gadgets. Bonus tip: 
Don’t forget to accent with 
kitchen towels, hot pads and 
even new curtains.

Bathroom fixtures. Hold 
your breath and imagine your 
bathroom transformed into a 
spa, courtesy of vibrant green 
fixtures. A green clawfoot tub? 
Yes, you can. A pedestal sink 
in quiet Aspen Green with a 
toilet to match? It’s yours. These 
hues evoke the elegance of the 
past while wrapping you in the 
comfort of the present, making 
your bathroom a true oasis.

Tiles. You don’t need to 
do a major renovation to add 
some color to your kitchen’s 
backsplash or around your tub 
in the bath. Opt for mosaic tiles 
in various shades of green or go 
with the sleek elegance of just 
one color.
Color can soothe the spirit, 
lift a mood, brighten a moment. 
It can make a small room feel 
bigger, or turn a dark room into 
an open, airy space. Kohler’s 
Fresh Green, Teal and Aspen 
Green can inspire you to bask in 
living color. 

“COLOR CAN SOOTHE
THE SPIRIT, LIFT A MOOD,
BRIGHTEN A MOMENT.”
