Green with Envy
A kitchen by Sharon Dorman of Rabbitte Joinery, Hawke's Bay, and a featured 2025 NKBA Excellence in Design Awards project.
Green with Envy makes colour the structure of the room. The green is not an accent; it is the cabinetry, and everything else has been chosen to support it.
Neutral stone and timber keep the palette from becoming a costume. They give the green somewhere to sit, and they stop the saturation from filling every surface.
The joinery has been kept simple in profile, which is the right call — with a colour this present, additional detail would only crowd it.
The plan itself is straightforward and workable, with clear prep runs and storage that keeps the benches free so the colour reads cleanly.
