Help choosing color for kitchen walls that go with blue cabinets
Comments (15)Another thought (since we've all been suggesting yellow, and perhaps you've been there done that and want a change)...the DAT (design around this) threads on the kitchen forum had some fun blue and green kitchens; I'm linking to the 60s ranch thread, but I think the formica thread had options, too. Sadly, many of the pictures are gone now, but some are still some there. I bet you could find fabric pairing that blue with a pale green and use the fabric and accessories to tie things together. BM Pale Vista could be worth a look if you like that combo. Maybe some pops of either red or yellow, like in a clock. Here is a link that might be useful: DAT 60s ranch house thread with some blue & green...See MoreKitchen design help - cabinet color midnight blue
Comments (15)Thoughts on color: - I find it too close to black, and -- even with a good-sized window -- it's going to make your kitchen dark. The cabinets almost look black in the pictures. - Consider that this blue-black will be hard to keep clean. - On the other hand, I really like that Harbor Blue -- it looks more friendly, less stark. It looks great with that brick wall background in your inspiration picture. - I don't like the mix-and-match uppers white /lowers blue. That's a fad, and you don't want to put cabinet-money into something that's going to be dated sooner rather than later. Thoughts on the cabinets being blocky and layout: - No, I don't think it's too blocky -- you may be thinking that because right now it's empty, but once you add all the things that a kitchen must have, it'll look different. You have ample counter space without that left-side cabinet, and it's nice to have space to hide things. - Thinking about adding the small essentials to the kitchen, where will you keep your "always outs"? That is, coffee pot, fruit bowl, cookie jar, canisters? With that big pantry cabinet, I might try to incorporate some of them "inside". - This cabinet plus a 5' pantry isn't overkill. - I'd tweak the pantry cabinet doors though: instead of having them both open up "ta-da style", I'd want two doors that both open towards the work area. - Where's your oven? Your microwave? Your trash can? Your fire extinguisher? - I'd lose half the stools. You have a dining area RIGHT THERE (literally within arm's reach) for family meals. Keep just a couple stools for the occasional kid who sits at the island or for you when you want to sit down to do a big task. Four stools in 8' is technically enough, but it's the beginning of "enough" ... certainly not generous. I love it. Its nice to see people using color again, instead of white. I would think about how the color flows with the rest of your decor when choosing the blue shade. Two very good points....See MoreKitchen backsplash and cabinet color recommendations needed
Comments (2)You have put the cart before the horse. The order things are usually done in is floors, cabinets, counters, backsplash and then paint. Look at Extra White for the cabinets. But it is more important to match the floors and counters than the wall paint as you could always change that if it clashes with the other colors. After the cabinets are painted bring home tile samples until you find the right backsplash. If you haven't used Samplize yet, look into them. You might want to try a couple whites. They sell peel and stick samples that you can move around the room....See Moregreige recommendations for kitchen cabinets & coordinating wall color
Comments (11)stay lighter..classic gray from the above group but that might even come off too dark. the counters are going to feel gray ish with little natural light. I would really go a bit lighter than most of those. I'd look at neutral off whites personally..they are not white . I think long term as light as you can make yourself go, the better this will end up. B Moore DecoratorsWhite cabs below.....See MoreConnecticut Yankeeeee
