Need help with wall color in newly renovated kitchen. HELP :-)
Comments (36)I really like the fabric you have chosen for your curtains. Reminds me of a store we once had called Laura Ashley. -Well...I think you should find a gorgeous cream, thick white/eggshell and paint your kitchen walls this colour as it carries into you dining area (there is not visual break). It has to complement this area at the same time. All four walls in kitchen area white, so no accent wall. (Yes, this includes the wall we see that leads into the living room). -Go with that gorgeous darker of the two greens for your upper cabinets and white again for your lower cabinets. The standing cabinet surrounding the fridge can also be the same green, with your island remaining white OR be white, again with your island remaining white. Keep in mind your appliances are black. White ones would be best but another time. **When you paint your island white, keep the knobs black. This ties in with your curtain rod above the glass doors as well as your appliances. -Please, please buy the kit that allows you to get a granite look for countertops and apply to both cabinet and island countertops. -Since you will be in painting mode, I would recommend also painting out the living room the same white until you find a colour for it that allows the eyes to transition naturally from kitchen/dining to living room. It will feel like the Hamptons for a little while. My two cents worth....See Morekitchen help color coordination help!
Comments (1)The base of the counter should be close to the color of the cabinets with gay vaining. If you can’t find then do a gray top with less white in it. Backsplash I’d go with blue to avoid the cabinets looking yellow...See MoreKitchen island in a small kitchen-help!
Comments (1)I don't think an island would work... It's not only the space but also layout. Maybe a large table so you have space to work. LMK what you end up doing and good luck!!!...See MoreRemodel Kitchen help
Comments (31)split level has pros and cons..as a kid the lower family room was perfect for private tv watching/ hanging out / etc while adults could be on the main floor or vice versa. Then there was a lower sub level yet where dad had work space/ laundry/ storage etc. These floor plans are not as much in favour now. I would seriously live in the home before any wall removal / big renovation undertaking. The split levels I see now with wall removal on this floor where kitchen is located have a nice nod to the the open concept . It may or may not be correct in various instances. I might encourage thought about that lower level family room .....a project involving a wet bar/ entertainment section added in there might provide greater value. Then you can come back to a much bigger kitchen project in the future. Wall removal here with that family room down a few steps as a secondary area can yield great results. Leaving the wall and keeping in the footprint is harder in a way to make this something special and worth the cost trouble of any big kitchen renovation. Your kitchen is perfectly usable ..when you say it is "the one thing " try to figure out .....is it the flow ? and walled off nature with the original dinette ? or is it the cabinet style/details within the space ???. Something strikes you as needing a change but figure out what that is.....these are transformed spaces with wall removal......again the split level has that extra level with the family room so this kind of change has its merits. I dont think you can know quite yet. Be careful w a split level. Collect some inspiration pics ..they help ideas coalesce . Is the cabinet designer an interior design person or architect or kitchen designer? A holistic approach to these adjacent spaces is what you want... Congrats and I hope you get a good offer on the listing. Alternatively....a banquette built in at the dinette zone offers an upgrade and destination for the seating element. Your wndow height is conducive to a great situation with this concept. Then less might have to be done with the wall "in question" when you get set to redo the working kitchen area. Shown are two different styles.....there is no limit to creativity w banquettes....See Moreljptwt7
