Kitchen color ideas?

12 years ago
I am struggling to find nice and warm color to compliment these cabinets. I will appreciate ANY ideas.

    The cabinets and floor are both warm wood colours. They are also the same colour which doesn't help either - would you consider painting the cabinets? Some hardware (knobs and pulls) will help too.

    How about white oak hardwood floors?

    I will definitely paint the cabinets white in out few years, but I can't do it now :(. However, I definitely want to get some dark color door knobs. But still, I would to paint the wall to match either white or this color cabinets.
    Can you help?

    How about some light brown colors?

    I think a quick fix to add a bit of colour would be to have some plants in colourful pots, if you go for tropical plants it may emulate the warm environment they naturally grow in!

    The wood tones in your kitchen are beautiful but because they're all the same shade, they get lost. If you have a wide enough ledge on the top of your cabinets, consider a collection of plates or vases to add colour (pull from the colour you have in the bowls on the counter. I would stay away from shades of beige, gold, or yellow as they will blend too much with the walls. If you're looking for a warm colour, try an earthy green like Benjamin Moore Spring Meadow 486. The other comments of adding new hardware and plants are also great ideas.

    I don't think browns or yellows walls will work in your kitchen - not with the cabinets as they are. What I would recommend with the wood colour and the white counter/backsplash is a cool blue-grey. Here is Puritan Gray HC-167 and Gibraltar Cliffs 1587 both from Benjamin Moore. If you do this, then stainless or brushed nickel hardware will look nice. Hope this helps.

    Sorry to disagree with others I don't see blues or grays at all. Since you have sharp white tops and back splash don't create more contrast with the cabinets. Take a look at Sherwin Williams Empire Gold-sw 0012 orCamelback sw 6122. The latter is warm and contrast but compliments the cabinets. The gold should also be warm but blend well with the cabinets. Good Luck Bill

    Definitely a sage green. Add a kitchen runner rug with green pattern, pottery....if possible change island countertop. If not, still going to be lovely!

    I checked out few of your recommended colors and I am definitely interested in looking into the Camelback and Sage green.
    I am so sorry, but I don't feel the blue/grays for the kitchen.

    What is your feel about Brandon Beige 977 by Benjamin Moore?
    Thanks again!

    I would stick with a mid tone green

    I agree - green.

    Karolina De Costa's suggestion, Spring Meadow will be a cheerful color. The blue/gray colors will make your wood look even more orange, and cold, so I'd definitely stay away from those!

    If you are not crazy about blue in your kitchen I think you should go with the green suggested above. Here is a nice kitchen with honey coloured cabinets and blue walls and another with greens walls to help you visualize. You should definitely stick with colours that please you - not others - but make sure the colour won't work against your cabinetry/floors and blends in with the rest of the ground floor. When you paint your cabinets white, then you will have more paint options for the walls. If you want to stick with a more neutral palette, instead of Brandon Beige which I think will look washed out with the cabinetry, consider a grey-green like this one - Sea Haze by Benjamin Moore 2137-50. I've used this colour in several project and really like it. Hope this helps!
