Improve a dark green kitchen by adding layered lighting with warm bulbs around 2700K to soften moody walls. Combine under-cabinet lights, recessed ceiling lights, and pendant fixtures to brighten work zones and balances shadows. Warm lighting highlights gold fixtures and wood tones, increasing contrast with green surfaces. Avoid solely cool white bulbs that enhance darkness. Adjusting lighting improves mood, atmosphere, and highlights your kitchen’s best features without repainting.
