Help on deciding what color to paint kitchen cabinets
Comments (4)Try posting this on the kitchen forum, along with a photo. It seems to get a lot more traffic. Having said that, some shade of white seems to be the most popular paint color for kitchen cabinets. You have a wood floor, great because wood is the current trend in kitchen floors. With the black appliances, not sure how the white cabinets will work. Maybe upper cabinets white, lowers in a dark gray? Using more than one color in kitchen cabinets is very popular also. I've read a lot of postings about painting honey oak cabinets, seems like we all had them, they were very popular in the 80's and 90's. (I still have my honey oak bathroom cabinets) But, there are a lot of really knowledgeable and helpful people on the kitchen forums, with great decorating talent, so try and post there and I am sure they'll have some good suggestions for you....See MorePlease help me decide on the paint color for my kitchen
Comments (6)sueb20: I love the names of paint, that sounds beautiful and, interestingly enough, it was the kind of color that I wanted to find for the siding of our home; we finally went vinyl to my husband's delight. I found the color on BM's virtual fan and I'll be pulling that color when I go to the store next week. It's overwhelming when I go there and to think that I'm going to need to find the right colors for five other rooms; OMG! Thank you for your suggestion....See Moreneed help deciding to paint (or not) kitchen cabinets.
Comments (11)Ha! I love those Kathie Lee and Hoda make-overs. Wall color throughout is Pratt & Lambert's Nickel 25-25. It shifts a lot in the light - gray/blue/green/blue-green. It's one of those colors that's hard to pin point. Which means it's a color that works with a lot of other colors. I have many brands and flavors of paint that I like a lot. BenM's Aura, PPG's Manor Hall/Manor Hall Timeless, SW Super Paint (great value IMO), SW Cashmere. This condo will be a rental so cost is an issue so I went with PPG Pure Performance in eggshell because it is a 100% acrylic paint and I had a 25% off coupon. :) Ceiling is a custom white I mixed myself. Long story, but I love this white because it doesn't go gray or bluish on the ceiling. I think it's the perfect white ceiling color because it looks like a clean, pretty white on the ceiling and really does go with just about any wall color. Many whites will go gray or bluish and end up looking dirty, stark, cold because of flop angle. Flop angle means color appearance changes due to the angle at which it is viewed. And it's an adaptable white; it settles in as a "warm" or "cool" white, looks good with almost any other white, like quartz counter tops. Counter tops will be Ceasarstone. One of the marble-look patterns in the kitchen, something with flakes of sparkle in the bathrooms. I have to decide on those pretty soon. Floors are a wood-look porcelain tile 6 x 36 plank throughout. It's Dal-Tile's Saddlebrook Farmhouse SD-14. Will definitely share pictures when it's all done. Here are a few of the master walls and ceiling colors. Big window faces west and you can see how it shifts depending on the light. I also included a shot of the tile and quartz samples against a couple other wall colors I was considering, PPG's Fog 1010-2 and BenM's Revere Pewter. In the end, I decided I wanted more color than either of these options. I'm posting video updates on my facebook page too....See MoreHelp With deciding kitchen cabinets? what to match?
Comments (5)Thanks for the help. I have attached a hand-drawn picture giving the schematics of the kitchen. we are planning on making the island single level. with the remodel the island will also be made approximately 1 to 2 feet wider. The countertops will most likely be changed to some form of White stone. The soffits will be removed ( actually already have been removed). the kitchen floor is going to be a 16 x 32 Emser Peninsula Kingston Polished https://www.emser.com/products/peninsula?variant=19298781187 I hope this information helps....See Moremsrose
