Help please. Kitchen wall colour
Hi guys. I have a kitchen with stark white plastic looking cabinets which I can’t paint. Looking for advice on what colour to paint the wall to make the kitchen less clinical and bring some warmth. I have put some colourful lights, green and pale orange in the kitchen (see picture, please ignore the mess).
What colour should I paint the walls please. Clueless. Any adice is much appreciate. Thank you.

Comments (20)If its a dark room then reflective surfaces will help .. but maybe step back and look at the style before you introduce colour? The detail on the doors make it a bit dated for an ultra modern look, but a vivid color would change things up, where pastels and neutrals may feel a bit samey ! The granite top will cool anything down ... my suggestion is change the flooring and get the doors spray painted Red!...See MoreNeed help for open kitchen diner colours please?
Comments (11)Yeah I haven't thought about when the sideboard is in place, with it being white gloss with a silver trim I thought it will still look all the same colour though and still needs something to break it up. I didn't know with being a sliding door and then the patio door whether curtains or blinds would look right on them, I think like you have said I'll see how the area looks when it's a bit more filled with the sideboard and then I can always add curtains/ blinds if needed. i'm glad I've uploaded the other side of the kitchen as I now see it definitely clashes with styles but hadn't thought about it, It's only a small change but I bet it will help to work with the dining room. Thank You very much for all your advice :) A few more ideas for me to go on now, that I hadn't considered....See MoreHealthy paint for kitchen walls? Help please
Comments (8)Even the usual paint brands have water based paints with low VOC’s which are better for us. Dulux Breatheasy is one. Avoid paints with high VOC’s, usually oil based. It will be printed on the tin - High is red symbol, medium is amber symbol and low is green. I do have asthma and allergies and I remember painting my front door in Farrow & Ball oil based outdoor paint and being very ill afterwards for days. Most of their paints are water based now so much better for our health. I find the wall paints are fine, but the water based woodwork paint is definitely not as tough as oil based, but then I have no choice....See MoreColour of kitchen walls - help please!
Comments (16)I have to disagree with the majority of comments. I think it needs an input of colour. Aks63 suggests pulling a colour from the blind. I too think that is a good place to start. Perhaps select three of the colours on the blind and get sample pots to match. Maybe try them in a tone lighter too. Don’t paint patches directly onto the wall instead paint large sheets of paper and attach them to the walls in different locations and look at them at different times of the day and night to help you decide. You cannot rush these things!...See Moreduffy_shade
