Wall kitchen color

13 years ago
What color do you think I have to choose for painting the wall?

    What colours do you have in the rest of the house -- wall colours, major furniture, accent colours? It would be good to tie your kitchen in with, especially, the adjoining rooms. Not with an identical colour, necessarily, but at least something complementary.

    Like the green bedroom, you would wake up with energy

    Thank you all. This is the rest of the house, that join the kitchen, but the new furniture will be dark chocolate. (Those were from the last owners).

    NohaNagied, I like your idea, but the top of the kitchen is already multicolor, (jamocha), so I don't if will match. Thank

    Hi Claudia -- I know this isn't everyone's cup of fine coffee, but this was the most pleasing possibility I found while keeping the living areas in mind (it doesn't mean it is in fact the most pleasing, just the best I could find fiddling with software). Two things bothering me:- I think with most wall colours it would look a lot better if your windows could be the same colour as the cabinets, just two to three shades lighter; and to me the wall cabinet looks wrong for the room, both in style and colour. Of course the colour could be a result of photograph and screen problems.

    PS I think your windows deserve beautiful, soft Roman blinds.

    Thank you so much Rina, what about painting the window like a dark brown color? :)

    Hi Claudia. Not sure -- you need a (colour) reason to do that, and the brown of the floor is very light. Is there a dark brown in the granite? As you can tell we're in different time zones. I've just woken up and heading for a busy day. When I get some time later I'll try changing the picture I did to put in dark brown windows, and also try the cream. I didn't have time for that yesterday. With a dark wall like this one above it could make the walls look top heavy.

    Thank you Rina. I really appreciated your time and effort.

    Rina, what's the name of the app, where I can switch the color of the walls? Thank you.

    I think yet white windows are fine. The rest of the windows in your home look to be white as well so it's consistent. And as someone else said, a nice blind would blend that in so it doesn't stand out as glaring white trim. I like the celery green idea for the walls. It looks like a lovely space!

    Hi Claudia. Two attempts at recolouring your windows, and I took the liberty of putting blinds on one of them (because recreating the bits where the venetian blinds cover the window frame is laborious). I think if you put in new blinds they could be much more decorative than these. True, though, as Hdyer says, that blinds -- especially blinds in a patterned fabric -- could blend the white windows in and you could stay consistent.

    I see the brown didn't come out as dark as I meant it to be on the posting. But it gives you some idea, I hope.

    Rina, could you please help me to check this kind of colors in your application, to see how they look. Thank you again! :)

    Will do, as soon as I get some time. I have a lot of work to do today. Not sure how well the orange will come out; it tends to look luminous in Paint. But I'll definitely give them a shot.

    Hi Rina, I feel that the kitchen looks very vibrant and with a touch of happiness, with the oranges. :)
    Thank you for your time.

    It's an absolute pleasure. Happy painting, happy cooking.

    Good morning. This is very much about the feeling you want. I would go for the green; it's calmer without being dull and seems to me to blend with the grey of the counters better. May be a generational thing. But the orange -- tangerine? -- is wonderfully vibrant, and if you paint all the walls that colour it will be slightly reflected by the granite and so marry better with it. See the effect on the sections to the left of the last pic above. If you use the tangerine, you could consider painting the cabinets white (rather than the windows cream) -- the white windows really zing with that colour. If that's what makes you happy there's no reason you shouldn't go with it.

    Well done with the quick work!

    Green, not the orange. If like orange use in accessories

    Hi Claudia Samaniego, i'm leaning more towards wallpaper, cause then you dont feel like you still want a backsplash, i'm not sure if its cheaper, but might be worth looking into :) here are a couple of ideas, what do you think?

    i really think the silvery wall paper would light up the space, and give some reflection :)

    I always reflect in the kitchen, usually about the menu.

    That's funny, chookchook.

    Good morning, thank you all for your comments. I definitely think I prefer the green from the two options, and I will find the option that suggests Michelle Ashby, to see how it works, is the first I've heard about it.

    I love Houzz! Thank you for help others!
