Walk-thru kitchen

6 years ago

My kitchen sits between the dinning room and the family room. Both have dark furniture, leather couches in the family room, brick fireplace. The dinning room has a large table for 8 it is dark too.

My problem is what color should I consider for the new to be remodeled kitchen White would be too stark. I do know that I do not want to have cabinet colors that are locked in. For instance green or blue. I plan on selling the house soon and want it to be pretty neutral. I need help with color of cabinets and counter top.

If you are selling “soon” then the economically smart thing is to just refresh what you have, not a remodel.

Is just the furniture dark? What about the walls, floors, cabinets?

IMO if selling clean everything twice and let the new guys decide cabinet color. Please post pics of all the spaces. You will recoup the cost of a redo and chances are no matter what you choose the next owner won’t like it. Save the money for your new place. My suggestion is to change all the light bulbs to LEDs in 4000K add some light pillows to the dark sofas , a pretty low glass bowl to the DR table and if possible so light colored rugs in both places , those at least you can take with you and use again.
