Home Decorating Design Dilemma Kitchens

Open floor plan ... help needed ... kitchen too warm?

6 years ago

New to us home. Trying for a navy/gray/cream color scheme. Help with bringing the look together will be greatly appreciated and a big decision I'm struggling with is paint for walls, trim and possibly kitchen cabinets. Outdoors is a work in progress, but we have a plan for that so try to ignore anything through the windows! TY

First step change all the lighting to LEDs 4000K (daylight) that will help when choosing colors to keep them true.Right now I see a lot of yellow hued lighting As for the kitchen what do you mean by too warm IMO cream is a warm color so a bit confused. If you are going to do anything in the kitchen I would remove the cabinets above and for sure around the cooktop and replace that with a nice stainless hood the rest of it seems quite nice.
