White Kitchen paint advice

4 years ago

Walls ceilings all plastered and to be painted next weekend.

Sink is on wall, hob on island. Don't want tiles, not thought of splash back.

White, tough, washable paint recommendations please. Something that can handle 2 young sticky kids and water splashed from sink too.

Thanks

Head to your local paint shop and explain this to the people there - they can point you in the direction of the best paint for the circumstances - even if it’s an interim paint - then another to be added once plaster is settled.

Dulux Supermatt is good stuff and recommended for new plaster that is still drying out. The first coat needs to be a mist coat (just dilute the paint a little as it says on the tin).

The protruding wall around the fireplace needs to be wallpapered or painted with dense motifs or tiled with stone/brick textured tiles or ply. Re-doing your fireplace will drastically change the look of your living room. See photos below. Consider painting the frames of your doors and sliding doors in the living room and kitchen a dark brown to match the floating shelf over the fireplace. Do not decide what you want to do in poor lighting as you have provided in the photos. Wine is a good color to consider. Also think of darker colors like plum and have different shades on each wall (from the same color family). So maybe think of wine- plum- magenta or wine - oxblood-blood red, etc. whichever suits your taste.

Hi I notice your blind and lamp are Laura Ashley Pelham. Laura Ashley does a duck egg white, pale duck egg and duck egg paint colours. Maybe you could have the duck egg white as the predominant colour and use in both rooms but also use the pale duck egg or duck egg in the lounge, or add some wallpaper. Not sure grey walls would work with the kitchen units. Perhaps more of a taupe/warm grey would work in both spaces though.

Hi minnie101, Thanks so much for your detailed reply. Great to know what colour that grey is. It may be a little dark with our floor. We will definitely update the handles - I hate the current ones. We'll probably go with wood to keep within budget. Your non-tiles pic is lovely. We'll probably keep some tiles and try to keep the kitchen a little more modern than country kitchen, which might be a challenge with wood. The room faces south. I like your idea of dividing it with paint. We probably will go with white in the kitchen and then 1/2 slightly darker tones in the tv-couch area. The 'other' entrance into the dining area is narrowed by a non-structural wall, so we should remove this to open it properly or like you say, close it off. Maybe not close it off entirely as we'd lose a lot of light, but maybe put in a counter or breakfast bar if space allowed. I love your pendant light suggestions over the dining table. Details like this and a rug in the couch area will really help divide the room as at the moment it is one big cavernous space. I really can't decide yet what way the couches should face - into a tv in the corner, or out into the room like you suggest. We'll have to draw out some chalk outlines on the floor and see how much space there actually is. Colour-wise we like the idea of keeping walls and cabinets quite stark, the wood counter will add a bit of warmth, and then adding colour with couches, rugs and possibly dining chairs. I've attached a couple of pieces of furniture I like. Some may not work, but we'll figure it out.

Loads of options as you basically have a black canvas. I love a rich teal, or dark turquoise. You could also consider wine or pink, or indeed red, but careful of tones

Lots of people recommend kitchen paint... other thing that I've seen recommended on here is decorators varnish over the top of the paint to make it easier to clean but I suspect if you're doing it from the outset special paint is the way forwards... I really like the Valspar range and one of them is scrubbable (can't remember which one) and you can get it any colour you want,.. which is mostly a blessing! lol

Second that to Valspar - now use this all the time - way better than the others.

I've gone away from Valspar in favour of Johnstones Trade as I have found it better quality and no odours especially when warm like I have experienced with Valspar. Acrylic durable Matt I am using due to being very scrubbable.
