Colour advice needed for kitchen cabinets

4 years ago

I plan on painting my kitchen cabinets and am looking for advice on paint colours!

My kitchen and living room walls are BM Chantilly Lace which I love. I want to keep my dark granite counters as this is not our forever home and I am trying to be budget conscious.

I recently painted my tile backsplash chantilly lace in high gloss which really brightened my space.

I am thinking BM Chantilly lace for the uppers and BM Wrought Iron for the lowers (to tie in the slate floors and the granite counters). I would love to do all white, but am afraid it would not look good with my dark counters and floors. I plan on adding brass pulls to the cabinets. My style is definitely more modern and i love contrast, but I am trying to play with the elements that i have.

What are your thoughts — should i do all white or have dark lowers to anchor the space?

Thank you!

I would not paint the cabinets. I would leave it as is.

I would not paint either. The warm tones of the counters and flooring go well with the cabinets.

It's a classy kitchen and leaving it just the way it is is a great choice too, so you can save your money for your next kitchen. However if you feel compelled to paint, I would do milky white uppers and dark lowers, I think it will look great especially with the stove and DW being next to each other, dark lower cabinets will downplay the stainless next to stainless look. I think that a bright white will not play nice with the countertop and flooring.

Personally I think your cabinets look great, and just need light countertops to shine. But if you are going to paint, all white would look really good. There is a big mix of warm colors in your counters and floor. All white cabinets would make things fresh and bright, with the hard surfaces giving enough contrast to make the whole space balanced and warm.

considering the countertops and the flooring, I also think you should not paint. A re-painted finish is not as durable as a factory finish.
