Need help for my kitchen

Design Advise · More Info

I would love some advise on updating my kitchen. I would love to paint the cabinets but can't at this time. I am looking at painting the walls. In the morning the color works better with the cream cabinet but by the end of the day, the paint is very green and unappealing. Should I paint the walls white to brighten the kitchen in the afternoon and evening? What color would you recommend? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I see very few painted walls in your picture..white isn't your only option of course...but it looks like experimenting with the one wall section would be a small project...I would suggest picking a warm color to blend with all your organic elements...perhaps a straw color...just do the area around the door that shows the green in the photo..when you find a color that you like all day paint the rest to match...by the way I love your choices of stool and pendant lights perhaps a color could be derived from them for your walls..

I don't think you mean this, but is it the night's indoor lighting that decreases the nice look? or the sunlight? What direction does it face?

Is paint a warm beige-khaki?

Did the photo upload? I can't see it. It is a south facing window with a covered patio. All of the windows in the house reflect green from the exterior. The windows also seem to have a green tint to them as well. The paint always appears green unless the sun is directly on it the morning light. Paint is Sherwin Williams Urban Putty

Maybe the sun fades it / adds its yellow to it making it less green. Why does the first photo say More Info? ... idk.

There are a lot of finishes competing here. I think I'd go for simpler stools and pendants to get the ball rolling...

Also consider painting the white door to match the wall..another safe option may be to match the walls to the ivory cabinet...for the future to make the job smaller you could just paint the top or just the bottom cabinets ...or only the base of the island...another unifying option would be to put a wash on the stools to tie the color in with the new wall color or the pendant colors..
