Thank you for responding. We tend to gravitate toward cool blues and greens and grays. We think the floor might present more as a warm neutral, though, so we have no idea where to start for a wall color. We do need to replace the kitchen cabinets; hard to tell from the photos, but the woman who owned the house before had them refaced and they are now two versions of white. NOTE: I attached two inspiration photos, the first and the last photo. I really like the clean lines, the simple presentation, (and the tiles on the floor in one photo, along with the tile on the island for the other photo; I am considering replicating for the backsplash to add a bit of color to the room_. the photo with the bread box was online; the decorator used SW Repose Gray on the cabinets and BM Chantilly Lace on the walls.

Take a drawer front off and take it into Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore. They can analyze it and give you a color match and complimentary color info. Bring a piece of flooring for them to include in the evaluation. This is what they do. You'll know a lot more about your cabinet color for thinking about choices. BM has Advance, a specific cabinet paint. Prep is 75% of the work.

If you are replacing the cabinets you will most likely not be able to reuse the counters, so that opens up a lot of possibilities. You can try taking a flooring piece to get some samples starting with the colors in your inspiration photos. You’ll also want to figure out what you will replace the cabinets with; you can choose the color for custom but for semi-custom or stock you will need to work with the color options of the line you choose.

we are just refacing, as the countertop is brand new. from the previous owner. do you think the floor appears more cool or warm?

I'm a bit confused now--I thought you said the previous owners had just refaced them. Are you refacing again because you dislike the style of the door they chose? If you don't mind the door style, I'd consider just painting the boxes to match the new doors (or repainting everything) if the issue is just that there are two different whites. You will have to do that anyway if you reface them again. Also note that your inspiration photos show inset cabinets, and yours look like they're full overlay, so you won't end up with that look regardless. A Shaker door might get you closer to that look than what you have now, though.

The flooring looks cool in this photo but online photos can be deceptive, so go by what you see in real life. Taking the flooring piece with you to the paint store is the best bet. (If you have the floor piece you likely also have the brand and color, so you can also look on Houzz for examples of what others have done with that color tone to see what looks good to your eye.)

I would find a nice off-white color and paint the walls, ceilings, doors and trim the same color. Flat for walls and ceiling and semi-gloss for trim.

If the trimwork has new paint, pry off a short piece of base molding and have the paint store match it for the walls and ceiling...unless you know what the color you have is called.

Starting with inspiration images is the right way to go. From what you have posted it sort of looks like you want a white kitchen with white walls and a white backsplash. That’s OK. Simplicity can be good.

Keeping your current floors makes sense for a lot of reasons, so, good decision there.

In your blue/green inspiration image (I’m just ignoring the red black one) it looks like the perimeter lower cabinets might be a very pale blue. Are you open to that?

We determined today that this floors are cool, light gray, so light in the high light areas of our house. Suggestions on wall paint that will compliment cool floors? Kitchen cabinets?

Can someone tell me how to remove a post?

You might have to call Houzz.

Thank you

Have you found any paint chips that match a color from the floor? You can bring a piece of flooring into a paint store and they can match it for you.

Michelle, you don't have to call houzz to remove a post. You can't delete it if you are using the app. You have to sign into houzz using a browser such as safari, chrome etc. depending on what device you are using.
