I have a long, quite bright and airy kitchen. It has a pine floor and pine cabinets with black surfaces and off white small tiles.
This would not have been a look I would have chosen, but we can’t afford to re-do the kitchen, so we have to make it work.
We have quite a lot of Black kitchenware, which obv goes with the surfaces, but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what colour to paint the kitchen to make it tie in more? Other than white, I’m not sure which colour to paint the largest wall.
Many thanks.
I wish I had a picture, but I don’t. It’s got white walls, white carpet, white ceilings, and black furniture. Black leather sofa, black tv stand, black dining room chairs, black stools, black oriental-inspired dresser, and a black bedframe with a semi-circle headboard. The coffee table is a rectangular piece of glass over a really awesome panther-sculpture. The panther’s shoulders and hips hold up the table.
The only splash of color is the cabinets in the kitchen that have been painted a bright turquoise. The condo is much more modern than my tastes, but I’m willing to work with it. The only problem is…. I’m not completely satisfied with the way it looks just yet. I hate having so much white and black in a small space. I like the contrast, but it’s too overwhelming. Another issue is my furniture I’m bringing with me is mostly earth colors like brown and beige.
Any ideas how I could make this work? Suggestions for painting the wall another color? Or possibly the cabinets? I’m fine with turquoise but if there’s another color that works better I’m willing to give it a try.
Thanks!
I’m on a low budget, so I can’t really get any new furniture, however I am getting a new bed, a twin size with a shelf headboard. If you can, would you include in your description if I should get a wood, white, etc. one?
P = I can paint it
The furniture right now includes…
1. a light wooden bookcase that is about two feet from the ceiling
2. A desk that is of the same color and has several paint stains on it =( (Any improvement ideas?)
P 3. A large even lighter wood corner armoire
P 4. A white wicker dresser with an aquarium on top of it (No room for anything else)
P 5. One storage unit shaped like a digital 8 (Meaning one square with another one on top).
6. A light blue beanbag chair (square).
I know I’m being specific, but any help would be thankful to those of you who took time to read this!
Thanks so much
