No idea of your decor direction so difficult to suggest anything in particular, everything shown is quite neutral with lots of options. Can you provide more detail?

Rainbows are nice.

I probably wouldn't. The paint looks good as it is. A lot of my kitchen items have color.

We are thinking of going with MCM theme on the entire house, we don’t want to do a color that we may think of changing later. So, a color that’ll be soft

I’m not a pro, but if you want an MCM look, I think you may have to replace your cabinet doors, at the least. MCM cabinets have clean minimalist lines; think flat front panels in a wood finish. Start by searching and saving images of MCM kitchens.

The cabinets were newly installed by the company that bought and sold us the home. We weren’t planning on removing them just maybe doing a nice color over them. I love the design and feel like it could blend well with the MCM theme we plan on doing :) I’m sure we will figure something out

If you google MCM kitchens you will get some ideas of colors. I think (but I’m not an expert!) of turquoise and orange, not necessarily full strength. What colors do you use in other rooms? Maybe one of those will work for the cabinets, too.

Good luck and have fun with it.

If you stick with something that has either blue or green in it you should get the feel for MCM. A soft pastel blue through to a blue/grey. A lime green through to a sage green. If the counter is staying you will want to work with that. It doesn't look like your floor has an red or orange in it so that's good. That wood to the right - what is that? It looks a little orangey.

Congratulations on your new home!

Here are my suggestions:

- paint the cabinets a cream colour (one pulled out of your countertop)

- replace or spray paint your pulls in black (your hinges look black)

- paint the window frame black & install a natural fibre or wood roman style shade

- the backsplash look white so that would be perfect

- replace the pot light over the sink with a black pendant

- replace the ceiling light with a semiflush black

i would not paint new cabinets. they look to have a durable neutral finish. create a MCM in your living room .

That orange to the right is our pantry door

I always take the path of least resistance, so I would not paint the cabinets. I would accept the cabinets and countertops as they are, instead of the expense and trouble of changing what must be new-ish.

I’d look into accessorizing the kitchen with a few MCM items - a cool clock, dinner ware, a cocktail set to display, retro looking appliance, or art work. I’d look to use MCM inspired furniture, and accessories, in the LR and DR to more fully reflect the MCM vibe you want.

Simply Swan: is that painted orange? it looks like wood.

Chinacatpeekin: I understand it as Simply Swan wanting to have her kitchen coordinate with her MCM adjacent decor without replacing everything...

@Lisedv Yes, that is wood. I wish I had a better picture of the pantry. I am going to redo the inside as well to get more space for the shelves they put inside. I’ll be doing a lot of organizing

Simply Swan: better that it's wood, not painted orange. Since I don't know what you intend to do in general for your renovations, it's difficult for me to suggest anything else at this time for that particular door.

@Lisedv Any and all suggestions are welcomed and appreciated :)

This is a new house for you? And it is a new house? I would not be so quick to make expensive changes before you have a chance to actually live there. You might find other things about the kitchen you also want to change at the same time. Even a paint color cannot disguise those cabinet doors as anything _except_ MCM. You could put some MCM touches on your decor first and then see what direction you want to go in.

As mentioned I don't know the extent of your renovation plan and precisely the direction you're taking. However, here are a few illustrations of MCM styles that would look nice with kitchen I suggested above. If you don't have enough wood detail in the house, you can add a section of wood slats in a prominent area. I would keep the wood doors for the MCM look but I would paint the mouldings especially if they're old and not in good shape.

Note:

The moulding for the kitchen window I show is black but all other windows don't need to be black.
