Colors of your Kitchen

Mistreatedbycs — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 01:44:58 GMT

Redoing my kitchen and found the most beautiful kitchen combination and thought, that's an idea. I found it on Kohler's website called American Plum Kitchen, I like the colors and the wallpaper but I know with a small kitchen that I have with one large picture window there's not enough light that these colors need.

Last year I redid the kitchen of the house I sold in all white and believe it presented well that's just not practical for me. If it was just for show it would be nice but not when I actually use it.

Your kitchen? Colors and countertops please.

I redid my galley style kitchen with coastal cream cabinets & drawers. My granite is a combination of lights & darks (wish I had picked a creamier color but to late & $$$ for that afterthought🙄)

I have little wall space yet I have a eat in area which is cream w/accent wall in pale yellow, bay window has hydragenea blue/yellow valance & cream colored glass/wicker round table.

The decor of my home is French country decor.

Cabinets are maple. Kitchen is painted cream, counters are cream. I have a gas fireplace in the kitchen. It pops out from the wall. That's painted apple green. Decor is in a burnt orange or apple green. Main theme for decor is pears.

These are not typical kitchen colors, I suppose, but, in black, gray and brown, my kitchen feels handsome with a touch of sophistication.

ETA: Black leathered granite counters, charcoal gray Silgranite sink, oil rubbed bronze faucet, light fixtures and all hardware trim, gray walls, LVT flooring in mottled grays, rusts and black. Brown linen curtains.

My kitchen has light hardwood floors (red oak) and my cabinets are cherry. My granite countertops are a dark green, lt green, silver and black mix.

My appliances are black and my walls are painted a very unusual color of green-gray that takes on a plum hue depending on the time of the day under natural light.

I looked at the American Plum Kitchen and it is really pretty. I noticed they have a lot of white mixed with it and so even with one window you could do it and possibly do plum cabinets on the bottom and white on top. If you love it you should just do it and enjoy.

My kitchen has dark hickory wood floors with pecan cabinets. Dark mixed with light brown granite and then behind the stove is red glass small tiles. The back splash is a light brown tumbled stone with glass insert splashes on a diagonal that are done in light and dark browns with creams and they are glossy. The walls are a soft brown and I absolutely love the mixture of light and dark wood. It is a large eat in kitchen where the table sits in front of a bay window. I have a huge farm style hammered copper sink and copper faucets. the table is powder coated with copper and browns. The chairs are red and brown leather and so are the bar stools at the island. Very different but everyone that comes in says it looks amazing.

Contractors' Beige. Very boring, but functional. I don't eat out there, so I don't really care.

Grey counters, dark walnut cabinets, light blue walls.

Sage green gingham wallpaper, border of grey/green/blue gingham and pink watermelons! Very '80s. Appliances are "bisque".

Funny, anything can become a neutral - I use this odd combination with all sorts of accent colors that I change throughout the year. The floor is grey and cream, and I use a large area rug in tones of russet, green, and brown during the summer, and red/green/brown in winter.

Right now I have a red/white/blue theme in place with accessories and dishes.

My newer home is a total open concept. So I really don't have an enclosed kitchen. My kitchen is designated with how I place my furniture. I have a huge island and the other side of it is my great room area. I decorate generally so everything flows. It works for us!

Walls are seaglass green - very vibrant - I like color - medium colored cabinets. Red and butter yellow accents - a little french countryish.

Log walls, light oak laminate on floor, pecan cabinets, black appliances. Island made out of a slab of a pine tree we cut to build the house. What I don't like is the black marble formica countertop, should have splurged on stone. Sort of monochromatic, I guess.

@GCR18 Oh, your's sounds great!!! I LOVE a fireplace in the kitchen. Would love to see photos. Your colors sound good too.

May I ask, is your kitchen really big to encompass a fireplace?

I had a girlfriend years ago and went to her home for a wonderful weekend in the summer. The kitchen in her parents' home was enormous, sporting a large fireplace. I was in love with the look.

@karol59 TEAL - one of my fav colors. You'll have to post photos when it's finished. Would love to see your full color spectrum.

We just re-painted and gave our kitchen another re-do. The walls are a medium charcoal grey flr to about 5' up, the rest of the walls & ceiling is a soft grey. To separate the two is an alum strip with red vinyl in the center all the way around. Was there originally, we left it. I wanted new appliances so I got rid of the SS and now have a crisp clean 5 burner white range & refridge. LOVE them against the grey. We changed out the baker's rack next to the range and I bought from Wayfair a white server/buffet for pots, pans w/lids in upper 2 drawers, p&p in two enclosed cupboards below with a wine rack in between. i LOVE IT! It fits perfectly under a large kit window. Next to the range we moved a SS bar/table, great workspace next to the range. It was at the window. Works better at opposing wall now., should've done it sooner.

Floor is 12" sq, 3 color tiles Marmoleum earth friendly in mottled charcoal, a light grey and red.

We are loving the changes. It all looks great, should've done it sooner.

typical condo-pecan cabinets, light beige counter tops, bisque appliances. With all these neutral tones I change the decor pieces/accents with the seasons---currently a I have a few blue and patriotic accents, yellow decor for summer, then it will be autumn decor, then Christmas.......I had spring flowers for SpringEaster season

My kitchen colors are black with red accents. I love both of these colors, but red needs to be in small doses otherwise it becomes - just, not good - plus you have to be able to tonally match reds. Orangey reds don't go with blue reds and too-blue reds are too dark. So you have to pick one and doing it with restraint really makes it nice.

Black is my favorite color so I'd have everything in black if I could. I have black appliances, so that's great for me. I also love a good solid red - not orangey at all but not too much blue to make it dark or muddied. Just right in the middle, slightly on the blue side. My counters are old tile counters, so nothing exciting there. Maybe some day I'll replace them - I don't know.

I don't entertain anymore so, except my husband passing through the room, I'm the only one who spends time in the kitchen. I'm fortunate that I have plenty of room and lots of cabinets. I do fill them up, though, but I keep the counters somewhat clutter-free. Clutter gives me anxiety. I have some things out, of course, but I like having plenty of space on the counters to work.
