New House Design

8 years ago

We are getting ready to build and I'm having trouble deciding on colors. We are doing concrete floors with the natural gray finish and I have darker brown stained dining room furniture and master bedroom furniture. I want to do white cabinets in the kitchen and bath, but I don't know how that's going to look and don't know what color the walls should be. Any ideas?

Depending on how contemporary you want it to feel, you could go with a white on the walls. Other options would be to use a shade that is in the concrete floors. The darkness of the color would depend on how much light you have in the space so it doesn't wash out!

Right now you have all neutrals so it's wide open for what color to use. As stated white will give you a clean modern look, or you could do varied shades of gray. The last picture shows a warmer color if you like that feel better. When I choose paint I usually start with deciding between a warm or a cool color.

If painting, use low VOC paint. When replacing things, look for low, or non outgassing furnishings. No sharp corners on tables etc. Choose safety features on blinds to eliminate strangling on cords. Non breakable ornaments/bowls down low. Breakables and hot coffees up high. A chest for toys, but sand down sharp corners. A small chair. Any tall furniture should be affixed to wall with brackets. Don't be in a tearing hurry to remove all kitchen walls that can have a baby gate attached to them. Burns by scalding in kitchens kill and maim.

Thanks! I actually saved the top picture. We hope to use some old wood or tin on the property in the kitchen.
