Kitchen wall color advice

last modified: 11 years ago

Good morning, I am mostly a lurker here and today I need some of your advice. I am redoing my kitchen. The cabinets are the Home Depot satin white Hampton bay cabinets and the flooring is Gazzini Indian Falls tile(looks like slate)indian falls tile and my table, chairs and china cabinet are a somewhat reddish mission oak. I'll try and get a picture of that on later, I am at work now. The counter tops are sort of gray slate also. I am also doing a subway tile backsplash probably in some sort of white or a Carrera marble porcelain tile look or I was thinking gray. My problem is what color do I paint the walls? Thanks, Richie Cabinets Here is a link to the color of the table and chairs(not this style though) table and chairs

You have a completely neutral background so you can go in any color direction you want. What colors do you like? Think about what feel you are trying to express...do you want it to reflect the outdoors? Do you want it to be bright and airy? Warm and woodsy? Do you want it to feel cool or warm?

You could go with a pale pale yellow...just enough contrast to be a different color from the cabinetry.

You could go with a soft sage like green.

Farmhouse · More Info

You could go with a medium-toned blue.

White Transitional Kitchen · More Info

With the deeper tones of the wood and the floor, I would probably go for a deeper color on the wall...

Though white on white sees to be a growing trend now.

Lots of directions to go in. I'd take a look at the Ben Moore Affinity line though...I do like those colors and they are all designed to work well together.

Green would be very nice in what sounds like a very rustic ambience. If your kitchen gets a lot of natural light, go with a light green. If not, go with a more saturated green.

All of the colors in my place are earth toned and I do have some green already so I guess it will be green!

Your kitchen sounds like it's shaping up to be a classic white kitchen--white cabs, gray counter, white or gray subway or marble backsplash. The floor tile looks gray and kind of rosy or peachy. Is the floor already installed? I'd like to see a photo if so because I think that will affect your paint color. It looks like you might want a warm color palette.

The tile guy is starting the floor on Wednesday so I will post photos when I can. I think the tile has more brown in it, that photo isn't the greatest. Thanks.
