Dark green kitchen units

I've fallen in love with the idea of dark green kitchen units, shaker style.
The options I can find are:
Magnet - ridiculously priced
DIY Kitchens - not for delivery until mid Nov
Ikea - our builder doesn't like fitting them

Does anyone else know where to find one?
We don't want to paint something ourselves and would be looking at end Sept ish for fitting.

Betterkitchens have painted kitchens and they also do a colour match. Very similar to DIY.

Thanks, I'll ask them to do a quote based on the plan that Ikea did for me.

I would... found then very keenly priced and the guys couldn't have been more helpful

I've seen some gorgeous ones. I'd go for plain wood & get it painted the exact shade you want. I have a painted kitchen & it's very durable.

Second Nature do a Shaker called Mornington which is available painted in Copse Green

I would have the kitchen of your choice professionally spray painted. You can then use the exact green you like.

We had our pantry kitted out in painted in Studio Green (F&B). I love it! Like you, we’re now tempted to have our kitchen units done in this colour too.

Great ideas. Thanks all. I'll do some more researching tonight.

I have also fallen in love with dark green!

Currently thinking of a bespoke painted kitchen in either F&B Calke Green or Little Greene Hopper - has anyone seen either in the flesh?

I have an appointment with a kitchen showroom tomorrow that stock Second Nature - I'll ask about Copse Green, fingers crossed they have a sample in the showroom!

Hi @Muffinbutton, how's your research going? The Copse Green was very dark, and quite a blue/grey green, pic attached!

@Spidershuffle after lots of tooing and froing I'm going to be ordering the kitchen tomorrow..... and we're now going for a graphite colour rather than dark green.

We've been swayed by the quality and price of DIY Kitchens, and don't have the 4 months needed for a bespoke paint. However I do love what we've chosen, and as a compromise I'm going to get a lovely green sofa to go in the new kitchen diner.

How exciting!

Sounds like a good plan - and much easier to change the sofa than the kitchen if you decide you fancy a chance from green in the future!
