Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Need color/decor help: retro kitchen

Oliver Construction LLC

The yellow is not working for me. The cabinets and countertop have a very slight green accent to them. The linoleum floor is creams and browns. Trim is currently painted white.

If I were just to change the trim and wall color, what direction should I go?

Not sure but here is a color from the tile. Keep the same color trim as in the living room.

I think the white trim is too white to go with everything else in the room. I would paint it and the walls SW Alabaster, which is a warm white. Or try to find the color of the tile on a paint chip and lighten it by 50% for the walls.

You might want to consider a grayish brown vinyl for the flooring.

The ceiling is too golden. That should be repainted with a white paint.
