What color would i paint kitchen wall & cabinets with almond appliances, light sand counter, oak flooring?

Well, what kind of person are you....for example I like color, and am creative, so I express that in my home.....I am not into doing too much pale colors. Because I find it boring. If you are going to sell your home and are concerned for the sales value....keep with the pale choices....For us we remodeled our kitchen...I chose emerald green marble for my countertops. Painted the medium oak cabinets a soft white. Flooring is a light/white marble design in the middle and the emerald green marble color surrounding that square by about 3 inches....These are 12'; block squares vinyl flooring tiles. Stove countertop is Stainless, and fridge is Stainless, the Double ovens Stainless and black glass and the Trash compactor and Dishwasher are black glass. This room flows into the family room and at the door starts the white ceramic tile floor the main walkway flows into the entryway and dining room...stops with carpet...to the right as you would enter into the family room...sitting area. I painted the walls Deep Emerald Green....Accent with Wooden picture frames with gold accents, Pale greenish gold curtains, over the Patio slider doors....looking outside to the pool. Color is rampant that is for sure......You have to decide how you want to project your personality.......and your style in a room you will spend a good bit of time being in.


Oak flooring....what shade of oak flooring...light medium or dark....that makes a difference...If it is dark this will brighten the cupboards and counters....and as far as the Almond appliances they just blend in. So for the walls, I would be bold and go with a pale to medium shade of rust, to bring up the sand counter, and the flooring. I think I would keep the cabinets a soft soft sand....or a soft shade of white.What color would i paint kitchen wall %26amp; cabinets with almond appliances, light sand counter, oak flooring?
sage green walls and dark sand color cabinets would look great.


For a bolder look, you could do your walls in a color similar to the countertop and then do one wall in a deep terra cotta color.


You could do a 2 tone effect with the cabinets: dark chocolate brown framing and sandy colored door and drawer fronts.


Black knobs would work on the cabinets.


If youre very adventurous, you could do all the walls in a chili pepper red or a paprika orange.What color would i paint kitchen wall %26amp; cabinets with almond appliances, light sand counter, oak flooring?
egg shell color is the best and that away it will always match what ever color you decide to change in the next year or so if you are not happy with your flooring and want to change it you would not have to change the color of the walls.
I would do the cabinets in an almond, cream colour like the appliances, and then you can paint the walls any colour you really like, from tan or pick up on a sandy colour from the counter top to a colour that you enjoy like a nice earthy green, or blue or something warmer, your cabinets, counter, floors and appliances will be quite neutral this way so you will have a lot of option. Also by keeping the colour of the appliances and cabinets the same you create unity and the illusion of space, so your kitchen will seem less cluttered and busy to the eye.
I think it would look beautiful %26amp; warm with ';sunset beige'; wall color by Behr. And then ';autumn white'; for the cabinets.
