Kitchen textured-accent wall-need color advice

last year

last modified: last year

Hello,
I’m installing black laminate floors in the kitchen. What’s the best accent wall for the space? I’m creating a textured wall near a banquette area and I’d like it to pop!
My first thoughts are: Navy, green, teal, steel blue.
Thanks in advance!

need advice on bathroom paint - dark walls & textured ceiling
Q
Comments (0)
hi - i am in the middle of a bathroom remodel (see my blog page below if you're interested) and we are ready to prime/paint. we have new drywall on about half of the walls & ceiling, and i assume builder's white on the other walls & ceiling. our new "ceiling" is really a big soffit of sorts, over our tub and a skinny "beam" where the 2 rooms used to be divided. we did it this way so that we wouldn't have to match the texture on the original ceiling... plus it adds some character. this new ceiling is flat new drywall. the original ceiling is textured - not popcorn/cottage cheese, but more like they put wet drywall mud up there & smooshed it with something round, then pulled the round thing off & left some peaks & valleys. not sure what that's called... but we figure it should be repainted to look cohesive, but i don't know if that needs to be sprayed, if i can do it cleanly diy or if a pro should do it. i am having a pro do my living room/hall/kitchen walls because of all the different cutting in & heights it requires, so i'll have him in the house anyway. ceilings & "beam" will be some kind of white; walls will be dark blue. so that was another question... i bought the zinsser bulls eye primer, at least for the first coat. should i get a tinted primer & do a second coat of primer since it's new drywall? or just the zinsser? i found my blue at lowes, so i thought i'd go ahead & use valspar... do i just ask for mildew-cide in it? thanks! lisa here's a glimpse of the new & old ceilings Here is a link that might be useful: my bathrooms forum blog

Accent wall or not? Need advice on paint color

jay06 - Edgecomb Gray is a warm greige which looks more like a beige. The flooring in the photos is the old floor and has already been removed. I'm using Flooret's Arlo which is a lighter color and brown. I had looked here for some ideas for paint colors: https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/the-best-paint-colours-for-walls-to-coordinate-with-a-brick-fireplace/ @Janie - The only lighting planned right now for the area is track lighting with LED bulbs that will be affixed to the beams above. The lighting will be warm rather than cool.

Need advice on wall color options to go with kitchen cabinets??

Your antique white looks much whiter in your photo than what SW's images of it show on my monitor, so take this all with a grain of salt. Agreeable Gray does seem likely to bring out the yellow in your cabinets. Accessible Beige is similar but warmer, and I think will be a better pairing. If you are willing to go lighter on the walls, you could look at Neutral Ground, Creamy, and Shoji White. Wool Skein and Relaxed Khaki lean even more beige than Accessible Beige, but could work well (Relaxed Khaki is a bit darker).

Thanks so much for the input. Let me know if you happen to know particular paint brands and colors you can recommend (the paint chips are fun but hard to assess). Also, any experience with non-VOC paint?

Textured? As in some type of drywall texture? That would be a no. If you have ever owned a black car, no one could give you black floors.

Black and white kitchens are timeless. I’m not afraid of cleaning my kitchen.

Please only post if you have creative ideas.

I love black floors. I don't generally like navy and black together, but there are always exceptions. Teal or green would be my suggestion from the colors you listed however it is nearly impossible to offer creative suggestions without a photo. Are you creating the texture with tile? Art? Something else? What other colors are in the area? What is the color of your kitchen cabinets? What is the color of the banquette? Is your space modern? Contemporary? Traditional? There are too many variables without being able to see the area.

I have orangish wood floors in my kitchen and dining area with a black accent wall.

Photos of the area would certainly help.

IMO either explain what you mean and post pics of the space or no more help. I like drk floors, yes they show everything my opinion is they just tell you they are dirty just like white cabinets. But really we have no info so answer the questions if you want help.
