Kitchen painting question?
October 14th, 2008 | by admin |Janade asked:
Before we started kitchen renovation, I found an inspiration picture - a Tuscan farm scene with yellow-orange fields, dark greens trees, and red roofs and the poppies. We have tiles w/ shades of yellow, tan, and rust and maple “spice” cabinets. The appliances are stainless steel w/ black. The countertops will be Juniperano St. Cecelia granite, which has a light base, with black, yellows, oranges, and some red flecks in it. The sink is black granite and the fixtures are brushed nickel.

I took the color of the picture mat (Warm Muffin from Behr) and we painted that on the ceiling in the kitchen. The kitchen walls will be faux Italian plaster (not a lot of wall showing due to cabinets, tile backsplash, and banquette seating).
The original plan was to pick up the red from the painting and granite by painting the kitchen walls a darker red color (similar to Behr’s Ruby Ring). I need to paint the walls, but I’m starting to get scared. Will the red be too dark/bold? If so, what to do?

I dont’ think you can go wrong with red in a kitchen… red makes you hungry, inspired and lively… all things you wanna be when cookin’!
Kitchens usually don’t have a large wall, so i’m sure you’ll be fine! DONT BE AFRAID OF COLOR!

The wall first and stay with the yellows but to get just right its best to get little samples and paint them on the warmer yellows but to be careful as yellow is great though red is highly stimulating and that may work when you are wanting more relaxed comfortable feeling would look.
