BEIGE! You DO need help! First, redefine your view. You don't have a boring kitchen. You have a neutral backdrop to launch your decorating project. So tell us a little about what you like, some non-decor things you're attracted to, what environment you live in (some ideas that might work well in a cabin in the mountains would look odd in a little ranch in the desert). What things do you have in the house that you LOVE? That's always a good place to start. Being tasteful can be really confining. At this point, 3 things that don't match look odd. 23 things that don't match look "eclectic"!

Hi Thanks for all the suggestions. cattknap, I love that rug. Lots of great colors from which to choose. For those who suggested apple green, can you give me a BM color which is apple green so that I can get a chip to remind me what apple green looks like. I do have a black horizonal plate rack as well as some black scroll type decorative pieces. I do collect roosters too. Wish me luck. I'll certainly need it. Linda

Your cabinets will likely look a lot 'calmer' with different paint on the walls. I bring home paint chips from multiple stores to have the best selection of color. Your SW store can mix paint from other lines and match the color for you. Your floor is BEAUTIFUL and I would use it as the basis for color selection. I lay my paint chips on the flooring and walk around, viewing them from different angles. I spent a long time making my kitchen paint decision, even taking a sample of flooring, counter top material, and back splash sample to work. I'd lay out the paint chips and eliminate them one by one. When I continuously was left with the same color sample I had the paint mixed.

I need help quickly! I can’t decide what color to paint the few walls there are in my kitchen. Because it’s my own, it is torturing me. We’re updating the entire kitchen. 1. Replacing all of the cabinets – white (BM Silver Satin). 2. Backsplash dark grey with gold undertones. 3. Floor – Italian tile with an old-world muted pattern of blue, beige, white, gold, brown, grey. 4. Countertops – Medium gray solid color quartz. 5. Island – white with grey horizontal stripes (White Maucumbus quartzite) 6. The island is BM Buckland Blue – it is 109” x 54” I removed the breakfast nook table and plan to use the island for seating. 7. Gold hardware for cabinets and gold and black faucet. 8. Island pendants will be black barrel shades with gold inside. Adjoining rooms: Family room – light grey (Glidden color Universal Grey). FR & DR Floors – will be stained brownish grey. Dining room - Dark blue, (BM Van Deusen Blue) Painted trim throughout (BM Distant Gray) My original plan was to paint the walls gold. For instance, BM Marigold. Then I saw Benjamin Moore’s Beau Green, 2054-20, it is beautiful! It looks great next to the navy blue in the dining room. I am afraid though; the very deep green may make the wet bar area feel like a cave. I wanted something to pop with the predominate white/gray combinations. I am attaching photos of the walls that will be painted. There are 3, kitchen into the DR, arched partial wall looking into the FR, and a short wall with a window and sliding glass door. I am also including photos of the materials to be used. I apologize for the poor layout of this request, and the photos. If you need additional information, please let me know.
