Need help choosing color for kitchen island
Hi, we have bought a house that already has a stained island installed with white perimeter cabinets. My wife does not love the stained island so we have found someone who is going to professionally lacquer paint it. We would still like to keep the island a separate color from the perimeter cabinets. Some details that may help with suggestions:
-Walls are painted SW Repose Grey
-Floors are stained Provincial
-Perimeter is a bright white cabinet, with a white 3X12 beveled subway tile backsplash
-Lots of our furniture is grey, tan, greige
-Breakfast table that will be next to kitchen is a weathered oak that will have white chairs around it
-Floorplan is completely open to living room
-The granite is called White Delicatus, I have attached a picture below
I have attached pictures of the unfinished kitchen and living room in our new house. I have also attached a picture of our current living room in the house we are moving from so you can get an idea of our furniture colors.
Right now we are leaning towards SW Mindful Grey for the island color, but looking for confirmation in that choice or other recommendations. Thanks!

I need help choosing a paint color for a kitchen island
Comments (2)I did think of that option, and I found a paint that is almost exactly the color of the tile; for some reason though I just thought the tile itself would look prettier if the wood surrounding it was a contrasting color....See MoreRehabbed kitchen - now need help choosing paint colors!
Comments (15)Here's how it might work. Pick an inspiration...in this case the fabric...which works with a turquoise island. From the fabric pick a wall color, a ceiling color and the turquoise you want for the island. You can then use the colors in the rest of the palette to bring all your rooms together...maybe use the lighter palette in the LR, the medium colors in the dining area...keep the chairs in the yellow green tones and maybe select the gold tone or the deeper taupe to use on the pew fabric. I'd use the same fabric for the drapes in the dining area as I did in the kitchen. I'd select a more formal fabric though for the LR. I'd probably pick the soft beige for the LR walls. If you don't like this fabric or this color way, that's ok...it's just an example of how this could work for you....See MoreNeed help choosing paint color for Kitchen/Living room/Foyer
Comments (0)Wife and I are looking into repainting the interior of our house. You'll see the paint test zones on the wall scattered around. Our house was painted by the previous owners. I just recently finished staining the cabinets and rebuilding the kitchen island. (Mind the mess in the photos!) Anyway Here's the photos. Looking to repaint the entire Foyer. I was considering painting the inside of the front door Red to match the outside... Still not sure. As for colors for the Kitchen/Living area we were looking for something more neutral in the house. The only requirements my wife has is no yellow (apparently its a couples fighting color) and that we don't paint the fireplace wall something that will wash into our white fireplace (unless we can get a recommendation for that too). Foyer is normal white builder paint Foyer front door wall is currently a warm orange color Kitchenette is a warm orange color Kitchen is Cream Family room is Cream Family room main wall is barn red...See MoreNeed help choosing island and counter colors!
Comments (17)Okay For whatever reason, you're afraid to stand back and get a shot of the entire kitchen from several angles. Thus all advice is based on what we can see. Not much : ) Cherry is quite red, so I'd avoid a navy island. White will shout against the cherry cabinetry too. We can't SEE the island. That would make me say a warm gray could look pretty, a deep green could. What is the style in your family room. What are the colors? I'm sure there is an adjacency. I'd change the tops, do a quartz, even a quartzite such as Taj Mahal could be pretty. But you want to consider ALL these elements together. Lights, counter, tops, etc. I would keep ALL the tops the same, island and perimeter to whatever you select. A color on island cabinetry change is more than enough. To say the least, before ANY change, make certain the layout is one you like. That includes appliances, and their placement. The island size and ITS placement. ......never throw money at the wrong change : )...See More

6 years agoOn this client’s kitchen remodel, we opted for Shaker style painted cabinets for the perimeter with stained Alder cabinets for the island. The countertops are Caesarstone quartz Frosty Carina.
I think a similar color for your island cabinets would be very beneficial to your kitchen as well.
