    Walls and floor are going to be changed, seemed to be marble. Everything in white?

    White is good to open small areas visually. Any way you can take out the wall behind, or cut it down to counter height? My son-in-law did that (their kitchen looked as narrow as yours) and it made a huge dif.

    Just what I was going to say! take out that far wall, but what's behind it?? and latifloia is right.....you need to share more information....and a few more photos! but go white white white and you'll be shocked! it seems there's natural light behind that wall so getting rid of the wall will bring in more natural light... wall on left? where does it lead? can you add a window? the wall has nothing on it ie: no use, so put it to work!

    Funny, I had exactly the same thought about removing that wall. But if it's your neighbor's apartment behind it, he may not be as enthusiastic. Anything you can do to open up the space will help. Are you planning to replace all the flooring or just the kitchen? While white is good, you may also want some contrast, like colored countertops. Also, can you run the upper cabinets up to the ceiling to provide more storage?

    The far wall it's my neighbor's apartment, I´m planning to replace all the flooring and walls, I would like to paint the kitchen with white and green walls ( I want to have green in the kitchen :D ), for the contrast I´ve been thinking in colors like dark pink, maybe yellow, or dark green ( no brown please). I´m going to run the upper cabinets up to the ceiling. I hope I´ll receive more opinions. Thank you all for your help :D.

    Hey, you could have a pass thru to your neighbor! Are you renting or do you own this apt?

    Sounds like you own. Yes, cabinets to the ceiling. I've recommended this a lot lately but it's a great look for a white kichen. Paint your cabinets white or get new ones and walls a sage green. How do you like the black and white tiles?

    Sage green kitchen. Creamy, buttery yellow would look fantastic with sage green.

    Hi again, Ale... so you love colours!! bright and bold! so let me get this straight, you're going to remove all the multi tiles and then paint instead? cabinets will be to ceiling. Are you allowed to remove or half the far wall?(CAN you do it heheh)
    How about a simple white floor, shiny tiles (I've learned that LARGER tiles and light coloured SHINY tiles put quite close together, look fantastic and enlarge a small space), white cabinets with a POP of BRIGHT green tiles for back splash? (search kitchens here on Houzz and put 'green mosaic') how about apple green rather than dark green? it will liven it up... you can use soft grey with green too (no browns!!) whites/greens/greys......then use a curtain in that opening on the left (hadn't noticed it before) and some matching towels etc... in your other accent colour -- yellow would be my preference and easy to find...but that's just me :-) hope this helps!

    Hmmm leelee's sage is gorgeous too....also LeeLee please tell me how to add photos??? I can't figure it out!
  • 12 years ago
    Oh yes, I like colors!!! Everything it´s going to be new. The right hole is a small storage. I like the combination with soft grey. Wow, I love your ideas!

    I am not a pro, but a large mirror on the wall at the end would really open up sight lines. With all-white cabinets on either side, it would reflect quite a bit of light as well. You can put shelves on the wall with mirrors in-between, etc, so as to not lose the space entirely, if you need it. A mirror with a pattern could also accomplish the same but not look as 'out-of-place,' if that's an issue. Plus you could practice your dance moves while baking! ;)
