Mayday: Advice Needed Please: Paint colors, kitchen backsplash.
Comments (2)A couple of thoughts I would not spend money on a hood to match cabinets in a small space IMO they only work in large kitchens . Just a simple stainless hood with maybe glass would be in keeping with your choices. I would not mix metals either in a small space.You will need something behind the stove unless your stove has something at the top to protect the walls. I think backsplash tile is a much nicer look than counter material for a backsplash and that would give you the ability to use the same tile behind the stove to keep it simple. Glass tile in a blue might be quite stunning with the counter and the floor. As for walls I would just use the same color as the cabinets in a matte finish and after all the other pieces of furniture are in place you can decide if you want some color on some walls. I kind of like the colors you are thinking about but I would wait ....See MoreWall paint color for kitchen with dark cabinets- advice needed
Comments (9)In order to brighten things up, look at the off whites. They look like colors on the little sample cards, but when painted on the wall, often look more like a pale color than a white. I'd go all the way up to the lightest colors. I really don't see how you can go wrong, your choices so far are so neutral. I think you could go warmer, or cooler, and it would make sense. In order to brighten up the space, I would do these things: -think about shiny, beefy drawer pulls/knobs, like polished nickel -think about maybe glass subway tile (or other pattern), or even a metallic tile. Something that reflects light. -make sure your lighting is excellent in every regard: overhead, undercabinet, pendant work lights. That will really help....See Moreneed paint color advice for kitchen cabinets

Comments (38)@Beth You did a commendable job explaining all the design aspects. Thank you so much! Just curious if I choose to change the granite completely, what color will go with oak wood floors and simply white or another white upper cabinets and darker island cabinets? I love the way island without cooktop looks. If I change then I won't be cooking any more :) Can you please give me advice on the kitchen blinds also? I am curious about the name of countertop and backsplash you have in your home?...See MoreMandy Kollman
