What color should I paint my kitchen walls? Everything's white but appliances/table/chairs are black. HELP!

Question

I don't want white walls because I already have white walls. Just looking for interesting options. My floor is mostly white with really small blue flowers. I really am not leaning towards blue but haven't ruled it out. Thanks, Julie

Answer 1

1] How much time do you spend in this room? If it's a lot, go with a favorite color.
2] no wall color ever stopped anyone in my family from eating!
3] suggestions:
a] find a print for curtains, placemats, etc., in colors you like, and use one of these for the wall color.
b] paint it a favorite color of the cook
c] if you have a special pitcher, set of canisters, etc., pick one of those colors to paint the walls
Consider:
dusty rose
peach
custard yellow
mint green
leaf green
sky blue
aqua
smoke blue
lavender
caramel

Answer 2

Sandstone (like a soft brownish yellow) That's the color of my kitchen. Goes with everything. Will be beautiful with the white and blue floor and the black appliances.

Answer 3

Be bold and paint the walls red. Not fire engine red but maybe a richer red - sort of a burgundy or a cranberry, maybe a brownish red, like brick red or something. Red is awesome in a kitchen, it stimulates the appetite. Blue suppresses the appetite so it's not so good in a kitchen.

Answer 4

I was thinking red or a creamy blue. Blue would bring out the small blue flowers on the floor. Red would just pop and make a statement to anyone who walks in the room.

Answer 5

You have so many choices, but I automatically pictured a golden yellow. This color would contrast nicely with the black, white and blue. If you choose the golden yellow then you might concentrate on blue accents throughout the kitchen.

LOL...looks like there are two of us who think alike ;)

Answer 6

Stick with your white. Trust me, other colors get old in a hurry. Do your trim in either black or the same blue as the floor.

Answer 7

a dark purple
this color will bring out the black of your appliances
...keep your ceiling white and on each wall measure down where your door frames are and paint that white as well..this is totally open up your room!

Answer 8

This might sound way out...
But go to yahoo options,click on colors....I love this Sea Green & the color they have with it.. I was just thinking this morning about what a pretty kitchen color this would be..

Answer 9

Yellow is nice in a kitchen and would look o.k. w/the floor... don't do anything too bright and use some blue accents.

Answer 10

Maybe an accent wall in red?
