What color wall paint for this kitchenette?
We’re updating this basement bar into a kitchenette. The butcher block island used to be a two-level bartop. When the old white fridge died, we invested in a stainless steel replacement. The brushed nickel knobs are also new. The cupboards and color are staying “as is.” That said, what would be the best color to paint the two walls? Again, we will not be changing the color or style of the cupboards. We are open to other wall ideas, though, such as artwork, easy and inexpensive backsplash, counter ware, etc. Thank you, in advance, for answering based on the specifics.

Comments (3)no matter what you do, a 1 wall kitchen has low risk of obtrusiveness. The trick is to keep the shading the same on that wall-between cabs/counter/appliances/walls. If you like brown-do all brown with all stainless or all black appliances and a similar shaded counter. I'd go all white before natural maple. Pick what you wish to look at, and keep continuity.Ah-refreshing-a VERY small kitchen indeed!...See MoreMy Hugh Hef Kitchenette is Gone!
Comments (13)The pullout doors are a great improvement in appearance and access. And the backsplash window/mirror is an understated elegance to replace the previous mirror's glitz. Yes, Harvey would be less at home now perhaps (although Bee's HW sounds pretty good), but I bet you find yourself smiling when you pass by. And that is what counts.

Comments (4)What color are your walls now? Are you looking for something lighter? What about painting the walls the same Softer Tan? Hard to tell for sure, but this photo seems to show the same color for the walls and trim: https://www.decorpad.com/photo.htm?photoId=92215...See Morewhat color to paint walls and what color to paint shelves to go with
Comments (3)I don't know what Revere Pewter would look like with the browns you have, but I've seen pictures of it with walnut and calacatta marble and it look very nice. Buy a sample and paint a board with several coats and set it in the room to see if you like it. It is a Benjamin Moore color....See More- 2 years ago

2 years agoI would start by browsing a site such as greatbigcanvas.com for inexpensive art that your guests would love looking at. Once you’ve found something that pulls on your heartstrings, you can use the colors to help select a wall color, as well as bedding and accessories. For a basement, I would choose the lightest color from the art.
