Paint colour?

9 years ago

I'd really appreciate some opinions on paint colour for my kitchen! Kitchen and stove were in when we bought but we selected the cream porcelain tiles and tiles behind cooker. The kitchen is a good size, the cupboards are as pictured. Normally doesn't get as much light as in this picture! Really don't know what colour to go with. This is the biggest area of wall space, the rest of the walls have cupboards really! Any advice would be so much appreciated!

I'm no pro, so take my opinion for what it's worth, but I was thinking Behr Cracked Pepper to bring out some of the coloring in your brick. [houzz=

I'd go for a warm light grey picking out the colour in the stone fire surround - have a look at Little Green Paint company's Portland Stone it comes in three depths of colour and looks beautifully restful. Then dress it with natural plants!

What a space! How about considering a white, or off-white, or alternative near neutral, before selecting cream? If you do choose cream, let it be because you love it in your space, rather than thinking it your only option. View paint chips before sampling in your space, to see which best fits with your floors and lighting before sampling further. Pulling one colour up over the walls and across the ceiling will blur the boundaries and add to a sense of airiness. Here you can compare the key attributes of one colour over another. Which Hue Family does it belong to and where within that Hue Family does it sit? (Hue) Which appears lighter? (Value) Which is more neutral? (Chroma) Which reflects the most light? (LRV) 🌈

Choosing Living Room Paint Colours

I have a large rectangular living room / music room which is two rooms in one. The living room is South West Facing and the Music room is North East facing. I am thinking of painting the walls White Tie by Farrow and Ball and the skirtings and door frame Matchstick. One problem is the window frame and sills are white UPVC. The ceilings are 8ft high so have opted for a pure, brilliant white ceiling. The dado rail is going and all the furnishings will be neutral with black piano and fireplace. I would appreciate any advice here and thanks!

The adjoining rooms are currently white, only first coat of paint (undercoat) so far, the room to the right is our sunroom, lots of natural light, the tiles continue through to the sunroom. To the left is the main hall with hardwood flooring. The whole house is currently a blank canvas!

you need a color that goes with the brick,tile and cabinets plus works with adjoining rooms. The backsplash color looks like a safe neutral but a butterry shade like the tan bricks or a subtle moss or sage green could add a bit of color. Look at your furnishing and dishware for some ideas. I love the arch and stove or cooker as you might say.

I agree with michelleaxo about bringing out some of the colour in your bricks through a charcoal paint similar to the bench colour. This would make it a real feature in the kitchen which is good because it will draw the eye to that area of the kitchen and the oven and brick are beautiful. But if the area doesn't get much light normally, the charcoal may make the area a little dark. You could consider installing a skylight, or going with a paint colour to match the oven colour or the splashback.

I would go with the Oyster Mushroom 6185-52 Sico and then I would transform (ALL) your cabinets to an ESPRESSO color using the Rustoleum Transformation kit, it will 'ground' your wall ... I've provided a link http://cabinets.rustoleumtransformations.com ... here are some actual before and after shots of my daughter's mantle as well.
