Kitchen Colour Advice
11 years ago
We collected our house keys and are replacing our kitchen cabinets. An island will be added. The brown white checker flooring and wooden beams have character so we wish to retain them. We are thinking turquoise and white cabinets with engineered stone countertop. A wooden island will host the same quartz countertop. We are exploring pink for the 2 doors which access the living room and laundry area. Will this colour scheme fly? What colour options would work for the kitchen countertop, backsplash and island? We are ditching the dark wood which makes the kitchen look somber and heavy. Grateful for some colour advice!!!

Comments (11)Like Jonathan said it's hard to comment without pictures, but if it makes you feel better, we have just moved house and all our rooms were white. We had pops of colour from cushions, artwork etc and it never felt cold. The only time I didn't like it was when we had packed everything up and so only the bare minimum was out. I couldn't believe how stark the walls looked. The house looked completely different. So I'm just trying to say the soft furnishings completely transform a space. I loved the white, it provided a perfect, clean backdrop....See MoreKitchen respray colour advice
Comments (8)Thank you colourhappy My aim in to update the kitchen really but obviously don’t want to make a mistake by choosing the wrong colour for cabinets. I don’t want to make the worktop look more yellow/brown. I was convinced the navy would work with cream? I painted some samples of hague blue which I like for the island but shadow white is too pale and made the work top look brown. I am now considering pavilion grey for cabinets and Hague blue for the island. I never considered the floor colour and have attached a close up together with a picture of the tiles. I’ve also pictured my samples of Hague blue and shadow white. My kitchen is very dark most of the time. Thank you...See Morekitchen colour scheme advice needed
Comments (32)@Carolina@Sonia I like that too! Goodness now I'll have to make a decison ;) I think as suggested the best way to start is to get some floor samples first, problem is shops are all shut. Should have started this a few weeks back!...See MoreKitchen colour advice
Comments (3)I think your kitchen is lovely. The cabinets are a nice neutral shade and I even like the stove! I particularly like the shelving. If you want to add a bit more drama how about painting the walls a mid grey? It would also go nicely with the stove. Or even an olive green. Here’s some idea - first pic is Dulux Chic Shadow and second is Overtly Olive....See More- 11 years ago
- 11 years agoI understand your desire for a bit of pizzazz....you just don't want too much going on or you'll end up drowning out the features that you want to keep because you like them (the floor and the beams). Good move to forget the pink, but for the turquoise, how about some turquoise accents (a smeg fridge or stove) or a slightly different tone of blue that might go better with the floors.
