Wall colours for my New Kitchen

6 years ago

I am decorating my Kitchen in our new extension and need some advice what wall colour will go well with kitchen units. I need to decide about the paint before my kitchen is installed will appreciate all the ideas.

Please find the pics attached for further clarity.
The island is going to partridge grey and all units porcelain white. All worktops will going to karara white.

Further down pics of our open plan kitchen diner , have been installed with anthracite grey bifold doors and windows.

Of course. The first picture is before the room was completely finished but shows the blackboard wall. The second is slightly more finished from a different angle. It's only small and is open plan with my living room but you get the idea :)

What will the flooring be?

Will you be having a splashback of some sort or simply an upstand??

The simple suggestion would be a light grey in a similar tone to the island with a feature wall, maybe, to add interest.

I read a post by an interior designer colleague of mine, who suggested someone bring in something from the opposite side of colour spectrum to mellow out an over strong colour - so in your case that's orange .... Try it with an orange sweat top or blanket to see if it helps ?! ( I'm a planning geek? rather than colour expert... But it's worth a try !)

Hi Nicola, I might try painting the walls in the lighter grey colour or even a shade lighter than this. There are a lot of grey tones going on (with the chrome handles as well), you just might want to be careful that it dosn't feel too cold - have you considered a wood floor or LVT in wood - it might add a bit of warmth, or if you are set on tiles - maybe try a limestone style. Always best to get some samples and try alongside your kitchen doors.

The metal flowers in the corner is actually a tall floor lamp that looks pretty in the evening. I have a large silver mirror in the centre of the wall, that would look nice in black too. Thanks for your suggestions!

A picture of the flooring next to the other items would really help. Due to the huge expanse of flooring, it needs to be a really important part of how you choose a wall colour. The third picture suggests that a deep tone would work, certainly on the bifold door wall.

A very light off white grey will add some warmth to the room and work well with you proposed finishes. You may want to think about adding a splash of colour in the upstand, area rugs or window dressings. Also think about your cupboard handles for example using a copper effect instead of brushed nickel can completely change the look of your kitchen.

Looks like you have a lot of natural light in the area already which is great and opens up the possibilities. I would agree with Pavilion Architecture that a light grey would work nicely with the combination of finishes you have going on. Something we really like also is to match both the skirting and the coving (if you are having any) with the wall colour as well.

Thanks for some interesting ideas , I think I will go with light grey, will come with some names of paints once I go around the shops . Also, we were thinking of having the upstand similar to worktops I.e. White Karara quartz . Any recommendation for the feature wall colour ?

I like the bold tone of this room as an all over colour, which also has a white kitchen:

I love the two contrasting colours/tones of this room:

and I like the really dark tone of this one wall in this kitchen:

I have a white kitchen with white worktops and went for Dulux Perfectly Taupe on the walls. I then did a feature wall in blackboard paint. Comes in very handy!

Thanks for sharing the pics. That looks stunning ! Actually whole theme works very well I can see how the black wall is coordinating so well with your pendant lights and sofa.Taupe is going really nice with white units, will get the tester sample on the weekend to try on the walls.

Dulux Heritage have some nice colours. Our kitchen layout and colour is similar. We went with Turtledove Grey in the kitchen and throughout the whole house, with Pewter Plate on some feature walls.
