Please help me warm up this kitchen! ❤️
This is our new house we’re buying… my style is modern boho with fun whimsy pops of color and clean lines. how do I warm up this kitchen? Those are gray cabinets and tiles… I want to paint the island and move it horizontal if possible or put a cool antique piece as an island. Also what do I do about the column? The past owner did a great job but it just needs more warmth and color! Thank you for any help!

Help me light up my kitchen please !!
Comments (3)Look at a company called SORAA for LED bulbs. They have a line for residential/homeowners as well as commercial/hospitality. Where are the main lights in your kitchen now? I’m not seeing downlights in the ceiling. See how you feel about that lighting, once the counters are in (did they install today? So excited for you!). How does it make you feel when you’re in the kitchen or looking at the kitchen from an adjacent room? Contrary to what you’ll hear (a lot), there is not one be all end all bulb or color temperature that works for everyone and every setting. :)...See MoreHelp me freshen up my kitchen please!
Comments (17)you are my style twin! I love all of these looks. I recently did a kitchen reno; and did white cabinets / dark grey island with white countertops.....and I'm a sucker for greys and moulding; adding white moulding on the walls made SUCH an impact on all of the space and although a bit of extra work, is fairly inexpensive to do for the WOW factor it gives and I can totally see that in your space! inexpensive but impactful changes I could see being amazing in your space too, are changing the metal railing to a horizontal metal style, painting the fireplace white, and having a dark accent colour on the little wall that the fireplace is on; and changing the cabinet hardware and pendants to a rattan or more nautical style. Also, ballard is AMAZING. Have you looked at Serena and Lily? ugh, my absolute fav....now to just win the lottery haha...See Morehelp me please ♀️
Comments (5)Your hundreds of photos in your ideabooks show a strong preference for white walls and blue cabinets. Start by deciding your budget. Install new lighting first, pick your flooring second (its appearance will change with new lighting), then paint the walls with a warm white to go with your red brick fireplace....See MorePlease, help me to add some colors! ❤️
Comments (9)I wouldn't spend any money on putting covers on rental furniture. Save your money for when you buy your own house. Are you allowed to put nails in the walls? Maybe command hooks? Spend money on art that you can take with you and use in your next home. Buy some table lamps and floor lamps to brighten up the space. Maybe brighter bulbs in the ceiling light fixtures....See More

last yearlast modified: last yearI understand. Absolutely not my colors, either. But it’s a nice kitchen.
I would just bring in some wood accents. Some cutting boards, etc. If you can do some floating shelves in wood, that would be great. And I would paint the island base out in Urbane Bronze. Plus, bring in some counter/barstools with wood on them.

last yearlast modified: last yearIf you are up for it, a backsplash in a great color could start to warm things up. You have to be careful though, as the counter has some movement, and you cannot get too out there with it in the picture. This pulls in the blue that the island is reading, even though you say the island is gray. It repeats and enhances what is already there, keeping the budget, (relatively) low.

last yearlast modified: last yearreplace the vent hood w/something like this one w/the wood
If you can't match the gray color, then do all wood
replace the double doors w/vintage wood doors.
you could even paint them whatever color you're doing
Since you are painting the island, trim it out w/some MDF pieces so it has a finished look. prime and paint.
bring in a warm runnerreplace the shelves over the bar w/the same wood you do the vent hood trim.
replace that support column w/a plain square one.
some type of bline, maybe a pendant or a semi flush mount school house style light
you could remove the SS farmhouse and do a white one, or even copper.

last yearlast modified: last yearI like the woven pendant idea. (16" is going to be too big), but something smaller might work.
here is a photoshop with those, woven loom counter chairs, vintage pantry wood doors, vent hood w/wood trim, and replaced that boob light w/this cool Bergamot ceiling light.
I'd consider replacing the black hardware w/a soft gold, or even a brushed nickel. the black is a bit harsh if you want to warm/lighten things up.
don't forget a nice runner in front of sink
