what color to paint kitchen?

stefanie


Ok so just did some major renovations o the kitchen. Here are the basics, its a small kitchen, all stainless steel appliances, light beige stone tiles on the floor, cherry wood cabinets, & a beige-ish backsplash & countertop. Im really at a loss when it comes to what color to paint, when i go in there, nothing particular pops into my mind…soooo any suggestions??

    Not sure what your likes and dislikes are, but I’ve found that the yellows and yellow tans don’t look good with the silver appliances. What do you think of a light cool grey or blue grey. Maybe then you can add accents of silver and aluminum (ie, counter top appliances), cookie jar, and platters/bowls, etc. Grey accent throw rug in front of the sink and a few grey hand towels and oven mitts. This way any bright flowers you may want to display will just POP…or even a fruit bowl, wall art or pictures. Hope this helps, Good Luck!

    i would paint it an olive green color
    you could also paint it red…but i think that is too much red for a small room like you said
    i personally like the olive color…
    a soft yellow would look good too
    but it would kinda blend in with the floors

    hope i helped :)

    For a warm feel, try burnt umber (brownish-orange), brick red (reddish-brown), khaki tan.

    For a cooler feel, try sage green or for more punch, robin’s egg blue.

    I would probably go for a khaki tan with punches of one or more of the other colors that were my favorite. A khaki tan would also look great with jewel toned indgio blue.

    play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the “painted” rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

    I think “independent gold” (# 6401) might be a great choice.

    You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:
    You can get color suggestions & for $5 they’ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
