With the holidays now behind us and spring just peeking over the horizon, a lot of us begin craving a refresh—but aren’t ready for a full overhaul of our kitchen. Cue Spearmint. Crisp, clean and invigorating, Spearmint is a color that feels like a reset, a shift in energy without the pressure. It can brighten a space without feeling stark, and adds color without overwhelming what is already there.

Minty-Fresh Decor Ideas to Add a Pop of Spearmint to Your Kitchen
If you’re ready to dip your toe into spring and hit refresh on your kitchen, you can incorporate this minty green color—and its feeling of fresh invigoration—through small, intentional updates that will make a surprisingly big impact.

Tea Towels, Utensils and Other Small Kitchen Accents
If you want to add a small pop of color into your kitchen decor, but don’t want to tackle a large project yet, choosing small items is a great way to go. You can always layer on more color if you love it, or easily swap it out if you are ready for a change later.
Look for Spearmint-colored tea towels to bring the crisp color to your stainless steel range, other linens and hot pads, measuring cups, spatulas or other common kitchen utensils. Vintage finds like flour canisters, or colorful cabinet handles and pulls are also great ways to add functional pops of color to your space.

Kettles, Stand Mixers and Countertop Appliances
Small kitchen appliances are a great way to add color to your kitchen without overwhelming your current decor, especially if you are ready for more of a commitment. Try adding a mint-colored kettle to your cooktop, or vintage-inspired toasters, blenders and microwaves. Or, bring the refreshing, crisp color to your kitchen with a statement-making Spearmint 2026 Color of the Year Artisan Stand Mixer.
Colors like light pink, rich navy blue, and vibrant purples pair well with Spearmint green, as well as classic neutrals, like white and silver. If vintage is your vibe, you could also pair Spearmint with butter yellow, or a bold scorched orange.
Cookware & Dishware
Depending on your kitchen cabinet style, you can add splashes of Spearmint to open shelving with mint or jadeite dishware and glassware. Or, you can let Spearmint-colored cookware stand out against white and light-colored backsplashes and countertops, whether they’re hung on the wall or on your open shelving.

Accent Walls, Bar Carts & Other Large Accents
If you’re ready to dive into Spearmint rather than dip a toe, you can add a lot of color quickly and easily with an accent wall, whether it's painted or with a fun wallpaper pattern in a small area, like a nook or a coffee bar.
For kitchens with an open concept layout that connect to a living room or other entertaining space, try bringing the color in on a bar cart, decorative tray or accent chair.

Step Into the Fresh Side with Spearmint, the 2026 Color of the Year
There are many different ways to incorporate Spearmint into your decor to refresh for early spring—and just as many ways to keep it fresh throughout the year. Swap in lighter linens, add brighter whites or introduce floral elements to shift the mood into spring and summer. For fall and winter, pair with richer, darker elements to shift to a cozier feeling.
Through it all, the Spearmint Stand Mixer remains a constant reminder to pause, reset and shift your energy to what matters most in your life. Because small changes truly do make a big impact—bringing light, energy and a sense of fresh opportunity when you need it most.
