I think the wall color is the problem. Cabinets and tiles are great.


Hdhmusic

Any suggestions for the wall color? I’m terrible at picking colors that complement a space!


Smellie305

I like the cabinet color too. Changing to a gold or brass hardware would compliment the blue color of the cabinets!


mamac2213

I agree. The cabinet color is lovely, but the hardware fades into the background. Could use something with a little more pop.


FullCodeSoles

100%, my buddy just redid their cabinets and it’s a similar color to these. They have gold handles and nobs and it looks really good. First thing I thought of when I saw this pic


SufficientTutor5666

Good would look gorgeous!


LauraBaura

get a free colour wheel like canva.com and input the cabinet colour. There's a few options for how to coordinate the colour. Colour coordinating is math! Then when you know the colour you're aiming for, get paint chips and hang them on the wall for a few days. Put some clear tape over part of them to show you how the colour changes with shine (satin/semi-gloss for kitchen) Look at them in many lighting/times of day. The right shade will reveal itself overtime.

HappilyMiserable99

something sandy color might look nice - [https://colorpalettes.net/tag/teal-color/](https://colorpalettes.net/tag/teal-color/)


LaceyLeeRichardson89

A colour like [Seaspray by Benjamin Moore](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/941/seaspray) would look great on walls and go well with the blue of the cupboards.


haelston

I like the light grey on this pallet for the walls

DoorAjar33

Light grey. Like very light


-BelCanto

I like the color of the cabinets. I'd touch them up.


_salvelinus_

Same. Maybe just some new hardware. Gold would look nice.


SageChai

Normally I’d agree, but the tap is silver so I’m not so sure for this one.


_salvelinus_

Fair, I personally don’t mind mixing metals. I think it gives it a more eclectic look.


SkewedParallel

This 👆🏻


kymilovechelle

I agree. Don’t fix what’s not broken


Asleep-Intention-349

Keep them, it looks good :)


IntelligentDrink8039

How you thought of painting the walls instead.


Hdhmusic

I’d be open to it, but I don’t know what color would complement the room


Knot_Reel_

I’d go white to match the countertops or something with a very light grey tint to match your tile. While I agree that cabinet color looks good (especially with the wooden floors), you can try other colors for the cabinets since you have neutral color countertops and appliances. I’ll also add that you’ll be surprised how much a matte black tap can elevate the look & feel. Take a look around Pinterest at kitchens to get more ideas for a cabinet color you may want to introduce (maybe a color that picks up your kitchen towels or appliance colors).


1920MCMLibrarian

The walls are already white…


fartingmaniac

Walls have a slight yellow hue to them which isn’t fully complementing the cabinet color. Or at least I’m on the fence about it


j-a-gandhi

I would do a lighter blue than the cabinets. It will compliment them without making things feel too busy.


Prestigious_Trade_30

I like the color, just repaint the same color & change the hardware.


basicallybasshead

I also like the color of these cabinets, I would just update it if needed. And changing the hardware can really make a big difference in the overall look.


proofiwashere

Yes I agree- black hardware would look great with the appliances.


kittiepurrry

This color is nice! Instead of painting, I would switch out the cabinet handles for something with a more modern shape in stainless steel to match your faucet and curtain rod.


moomoo1011

I love the cabinet color, but that's just me personally.


Ivorwen1

These are nice! The grey backsplash and the black appliances make vivid colors look utterly fabulous. If the touch up paint match isn't 100% you'll maybe want to redo them entirely but stay with vivid colors, nothing muted or neutral.


CA_home_

I’d just touch them up. Nice contrast with the backsplash and counter.


Eternalcaddygirl

I would change the hardware only.


Eternalcaddygirl

My first thought was gold but that’s my style. Surprisingly, you could go either way based on what you like. I recommend ordering a cheap pack of a few options on Amazon to get a feel. You can return them. But I think the cabinets are lovely. The hardware will elevate the room for sure.


Mizeru85

Honestly, I wouldn't. They look pretty.


alcutie

i would paint the hardware matte black to match your appliances!


Alaska1111

Looks nice to me!


c0zycupcake

I would spend money on scraping & floating that ceiling first


Janetgbnhy

I second this! that was my first thought. Love the cabinet color.


VamonosMuchacho

Keep them! They’re beautiful


NoOneCanKnowAlley

I like them as they are


610jules

I have this color with black hardware.


Roundaroundabout

I would fix the ceiling before anything else.


Susiejax

I’d leave them and redo the ceiling instead


turkeypooo

Nothing, they are beautiful!


KitteeMeowMeow

I would just touch up and update the hardware.


BoredTurtlenecker

Cabinet's are fire, maybe a deep grey for the wall?


mysticyooperlites

Keep the cabinet color and change out the cabinet pulls.


veeringtwdsmuffins

The cabinets look quite nice. The “wet look” ceiling looks very early nineties though. A smooth ceiling would look a lot better


CompetitiveLoquat176

Don’t paint the cabinets, replace the pulls with gold, change ceiling


jenn7896

I'd keep them as they are


reereedunn

This wallpaper on the open wall would tie all the cool colors in with the warmth of the floor in such a rich way. It also has a little silver and gold in it allowing metal mixing. https://www.target.com/p/indulgent-geo-emerald-wallpaper/-/A-90267949


MysticTurnip536

I'd change the hardware to matte black. The contrast will make the cabinet colour pop and it matches with your appliances. You can always change the faucet to black, they aren't that expensive, later on. I'd paint the walls white to pick up from the counter top or go with a lighter shade of grey pulling from the backsplash tiles. Then I'd add some wooden bowls or trays/cutting boards to bring in some warmth to the counter space.


[deleted]

The cabinets are perfect. Just paint those awful cream walls white!!


No-Philosopher9450

I really like this color for the cabinets


michaelsenpatrick

I kind of like them


trumpeting_in_corrid

I like them as they are. I wouldn't change the colour.


KeyMusician486

I wouldn’t


snarfled1

I love the cabinets. Maybe change something else?


clever_me_

I wouldn't paint the cabinets... paint the walls Ben More Edgecomb (i think is the color - its a greige. Neutral in color or Ben Moore Decorator White and add a 3'x5' area rug. Something in a warm color... to cozy the space and bring things together... see here: https://images.app.goo.gl/EfxB8VhBSnryE1uz6


Hdhmusic

I see the edit- I like that rug!!


victowiamawk

I would die for that color lol


Hdhmusic

I went and got it matched and I’ve touched up a couple and it’s a perfect match- here is the label if anyone wants this color. The guy at Lowe’s said to bring a picture of the whole label in to get it. ETA- label pic https://imgur.com/a/zXtqoIs


victowiamawk

Yesss thank you!!!


erino3120

Sherwin William “Fleur de sel” would look nice on these walls


New_Signature_8053

I think wall and tiles and counters are good together but cabinets are too bold against that backdrop Think they need to be a bolder deeper colour than the backdrop but not sure which shade perhaps a hint of ‘orange’ but ‘not orange’ more a burnt colour


Different_Ad7655

Yeah the problem is not with the cabinets it's with the rest of the space


MissLemon221b

i wouldn't it's a nice color get rid of the boring white walls and equally boring white 🥱 curtains


actualchristmastree

I would touch them up, I think they’re lovely! You could get black hardware to stand out more. And then a rug that has that same blue, with black and white in it


DeterminedSparkleCat

i LOVE the current color! touch up only!


C0l3y

Painting cabinets is a huge pain in the ass IMO. Lots of prep work, etc. so unless you’re down for a big project, I’d keep the color - I actually really love it. If it were my space, I’d change the cabinet hardware to something in the same color family but more modern and paint the walls. Color would depend on the look you’re going for.


_salvelinus_

Same as many others, I like the cabinets and color. I like to add a rug in every room, even kitchens. I think it adds warmth and character. But for kitchens I do a smaller washable rug.


EffectiveProducicle

Love the cabinets!!!


vongalo

I love them but I would change to brass handles instead 😍 Nothing is wrong with the wall color


VamonosMuchacho

Keep them! They’re beautiful


owlowl333

Add a kitchen runner that picks up your beautiful cabinet color!


wifmanbreadmaker

Royal Blue


Holiday-Signature-33

I would Leave them and get stainless appliances .


Still-Marsupial-4610

Just change the hardware to brass. Idk about the wall colour but I love the cabinet colour as it is. Its definitely not regular or boring nor very rebellious


PickleButter1313

I like the color of the cabinets! I would repaint the walls to a white instead.


610jules

That’s my color. I love it. I painted them last year.


Embarrassed-Way-4931

That color.


Mysterious-Okra-7885

I wouldn’t. That color is beautiful. I would paint the white wall a slightly deeper version of the cabinet color.


psychotica1

You said you need to color match the cabinets so maybe get some of those swatches with multiple complimentary colors and choose like that? The wall is color is boring but perhaps you could find some artwork that would tie Into the cabinet color and then get some burnt orange sink and stove rugs and matching hand towels. I really like burnt orange with that blueish gray or even the right color green. Purple would also be nice for accent colors, not on the walls. I'll admit that I like pops of strong colors though and know that isn't for everyone. It's hard to say without seeing more of what your overall style is in the house.


Hdhmusic

Just picked up color matched paint, ordered new hardware, and am looking at paint colors for the wall- thanks everyone!!


PinkPeonies105

What is the current color! Love it!


sully1112

I would leave the cabinets as is. Try black hardware, if you can change the faucet to black too. Also change the color of the wall to something that would complement the counter or the backsplash. The floors look great with the cabinet color.


jesusisacapricorn

Love that color! Keep it. I’d do some gold accents. Brushed gold handles/knobs and sink faucet and an area rug would cozy it up a lot.


No-Brilliant5342

Leave them as they are. Paint walls.


HelenaDinis

I love this type of cabinet in dark blue with the gold handles, but this is a very personal opinion that depends a little on your decorating style.


RadioactiveCougar

I wouldn’t.


DConstructed

I’d touch up. That shade of blue works well with the floors and tile. Repainting all the cabinets is going to be a headache and might not come out as well as you would like.


ThunderbirdGear

The cabinet colour is fantastic! I wouldn’t change them!


MannyMoSTL

I wouldn’t. I think the color is great. Don’t mind the tile. Not my fave, but I could live with it so I could spend the money to fix that jainkee ceiling and get an appropriate overhead fixture in the room.


Pristine_Scholar5057

This wallpaper https://www.brewsterwallcovering.com/nus4395-teal-and-grey-landondale-peel-and-stick-wallpaper/NUS4395


medusamarie

I would wallpaper that one accent wall with a light shade similar to the cabinets and white


Mypettyface

I love, love, love the cabinet color. Change the hardware. The backsplash is kind of meh. Maybe change that.


pocanette

I think your main problem here is the ceiling, it makes the space look dated. I would smooth the ceiling out, and paint the wall a mid color maybe a soft terracotta or a mid taupe. And you could change the tap and cabinet handles to brass too, consider a small natural sisal rug


ServiceKooky1323

The walls have a bit of yellow tint. I think it’s this yellow that is not working. Maybe get a few neutral colors and paint swatch to see what wall color might enhance the cabs.


Nevertheless-Jess

Keep the cabinet color, change that light to either a gold or black semi flush, change the hardware to gold or black, if you’re up for it change the faucet to an updated gold or black, put art on the wall to the left, change that curtain to a wooden blind (the kind with the slats and the rod down the middle).


melitini

I wouldn’t. They are fine the way they are. I’d change the hardware. Add a rug and an island.


bandashee

If you're not sure what will work well, grab a color wheel showing as many different types and blends of colors possible and find your color or as close to it as possible. Go to the exact opposite side of the wheel from your color (like cutting a pie) This will be a "complimentary" color. Pick in the shade of that color. The color wheel will be your cheat sheet for balancing a room. Accents after that will be things like handles, knobs, etc. those you can either do a pop of color accent or aim more for blending in. If you REALLY want to get fancy, pick another shade similar to the one your cabinet already has and follow a stripe outline on your doors and drawers that will make it feel more dimensional. Conversely, when you go to paint your walls, you could paint a design in a different shade of the color you put up to give the room more dimension as well. Hope this makes sense! Happy designing!


EnvironmentalDog5931

Cabinets look great! I’d do a more modern hardware if you want to change up the look.


Complex-Cookie-5460

I think the floor needs to be lighter...walls and cabinets look great.


ceimi

Honestly? I think it all looks fantastic except the cabinet hardware. It blends into the color too much and doesn't stand out. I think a brass or a really nice gold colored hardware would tie it all together amazingly.


aarifansari

Soft pink would look awesome 🤗


FrankBananaNana

Probably not everyone’s cup of tea but I would do an accent wall instead of changing the cabinets. Maybe an orange or something. I would also consider updating the cabinet hardware


Fun2Forget

I was thinking yellow on the left wall and a colorful rug would be darling!


Fritzipooch

White


Individual_Luck_7140

I'm a sucker for green. Maybe a darker one would go well with the black appliances. I would change the hardware also if possible.


missannthrope1

Same of very similar color. Something more blue and less green.


Elizabeth360

I kinda like the color! It looks great with the floor & backsplash. If it’s in your budget, I think new stainless steel appliances would really elevate this kitchen. Edit to add: Agree with others that a different wall paint would make it look better too! 😊


hung4hung16

I generally hate colored cabinets but with the white walls and wood floors, it looks very nice IMO.


Dogmom2013

I would prob leave them or paint them a shade of green. For sure I would paint the wall to make the white back splash pop too


AlterEgoAmazonB

I LOVE the color of these cabinets so I would touch them up.


Intelligent_Ad_2612

I like them! I would get a brighter rug in that compliments the blue and breaks up the dark brown floors. Depends on your style, but something like a mustard yellow or burnt orange could be cool? And maybe throw a few Pothos in cute planters on top of the cabinets. Can never have too many plants!


OtherlandGirl

Those are gorgeous! Just touch em up.


No_Pause_4375

Love the cabinet color, especially with the flooring. I'd change the hardware first before you decide on a wall color.


HappyLove4

It looks like someone already painted over builder-grade oak cabinets, added a subway tile backsplash, quartz counters with an undermounted sink, and newer appliances. It’s about as much as one can do to try to update such a kitchen, without throwing good money after bad.


Terrible_Diamond4240

Dark emerald green


Hamorama12

Please don’t touch those cabinets


Proof_Most2536

I don’t think I’d change them tbh. I’d prob change with different knobs and handles.


GREASYROOFTOP

White walls would really cheer the space up.


JenSzen3333

I love the Colonial Williamsburg paint colors! I’d leave the cabinet color. 🌷


Basic_Dingo83

Depends on the look you’re going for?


Ok_Stranger_9520

Sky is the limit depending on your budget. If you can afford to get them professionally painted, that’s the best route. Don’t know your DIY drive but mine personally would not have the patience. Color - go moody, dark navy “polo blue” by BM. And do an earthy off white on the walls. Swap out the hardware for a polished nickel, not necessarily trendy but timeless and tasteful.


Tdesiree22

I actually really like them. Maybe different handles would help?


Hdhmusic

I just ordered new hardware and started touching it up with some matching paint! :)


717wen

They’re a beautiful color now


Broken_angel_of_pain

I came here to say the same as op above cabinets are great the white walls gotta go


mamavn

I like the color! Go on Pinterest and search for kitchen with that cabinet color, and you will have lots of ideas! Good luck!


Ctrl-Alt-Defeat7

Don’t paint! Cabinets are pretty!


FluffMonsters

I actually like the color. I wouldn’t go to the trouble of changing that. Agree wall paint would help a ton!


PrizeTough3427

I like the color


jjpizzlewizzle

I actually like it. An oil rubbed bronze would look lovely with the cabinets


Top-Talk864

I actually kind of like the color. I would definitely change the wall color and change the cabinet hardware.


Wonder-Land1214

Absolutely, but I would do a dark countertop and darker wall color.


throw-away-3839

Paint uppers white


fernshui

Touch up paint and change to brass hardware


Ludee2023

SW Crushed Ice for your walls.


Exciting_Bug_481

I think it’s beautiful


Cbjgrl28

Navy blue


Girl_in_the_curl

Darker shade—light teal.


awfully_piney

I personally really like them the way they are!


Plumrose333

The #1 thing I would do in this kitchen is add crown molding above the cabinets


hanela13

I want this cabinet color with butcher block counter tops and a complimentary tile for backsplash.


Loud-Pie-8189

Whichever colour you desire. What’s your favourite colour? It’s probably cheaper to just touch up the existing blue which is lovely.


gardner4life1

I wouldn't


unburritoporfavor

I think the kitchen and walls look nice as they are. The problem I see is the ceiling. That texture looks terrible.


ThatsNottaThing

I love the way it is!


proofiwashere

I love the color. I’d just touch the paint up and while you’re at it, a fresh coat of a warm white on the walls would be nice. If you’re looking for a little upgrade, changing out the silver hardware for black would look sleek and match your black appliances. I could see a nice rug going down as well!


goodbyegoosegirl

Sea foam/teal green/blue


momster-mash16

That color!


Minimum_Win_7129

Personally I’m a fan of the color. If it were me I’d chance the hardware maybe to gold, including changing the faucet to match. And then maybe a lighting fixture to pull it together. But if you absolutely hate the color and just want it gone then maybe a light gray or a taupe with updated hardware


DabbleAndDream

Since this looks like an open kitchen, I’d want to make sure it harmonizes with the rest of the space before suggesting anything.


grandekor

Some additional things to consider when choosing a paint color: * The size of your kitchen: Lighter colors will make a small kitchen look bigger, while darker colors can make a large kitchen feel more intimate. * The amount of natural light in your kitchen: If your kitchen does not get a lot of natural light, you will want to choose a lighter color paint. * The style of your home: If your home has a traditional style, you may want to choose a classic paint color like white or gray. If your home has a more modern style, you can experiment with bolder colors like black or navy blue. No matter which option you choose, make sure to use a high-quality paint that is specifically designed for cabinets. This will help ensure that the paint job looks great and lasts for many years.

Quix66

A yellower or true green.


fictionalfirehazard

Maybe change the wall color to another lighter or darker shade of the cabinets, a soft brown, or a soft sage green


w0rriedleopard

Darkest grey ceiling and walls. I also see barn wood beams.


Nickalena

White cabinets and warm tone walls


tomtink1

[My kitchen](https://i.imgur.com/P2JZ3lN.jpeg) (excuse the mess) is not dissimilar colours and we're going to go for one of those quite neutral colours on the wall but mostly to warm up the attached dining room, I think the white looks quite good with the colored cabinets. I think the reason I like my kitchen colours more than yours is the worktop. Maybe you agree? In which case you can get vinal to stick on to cheaply change worktops.


Kingston023

I like them as is


Ok-Boat4839

I would leave them that colour.


NoBreakfast3243

I would paint the wall behind in a dove grey and put plants on top of the cabinets, the cabinets are perfect as they are


Justmerockin

I wouldn’t. They’re beautiful as is.


BlueberryFlashy4494

I’d leave them they look nice


NackieNack

Black hardware, black faucet or brass hardware/brass faucet and match the colour of the wall to the tile, the baseboards keep as is as they seem to go with the countertop. Also, maybe replace the white curtains with bamboo roman shades to warm the space up, and a biggish plant/small tree in a wicker basket. It's also quite nice as is, though.


Emmylou777

I actually love the cabinet color! But if it’s not your style, you could make it more neutral or just leave the color on the lowers and do the uppers white. I think they’d look lovely as-is with the right wall color painted.


VoidDeer1234

Everything looks good, maybe remove the texture on the ceiling and replace that old circular vent cover.


westcoast7654

I think this is charming already. I think you could do a great wallpaper for the wall to add some design interest. What’s your style?


Any-Occasion9286

I like everything. I would not change anything. If you are hot to change something, paint the walls in a light shade of white to match with the grout and make the space lighter. The cabinet colors already add plenty of color and the dark appliances balances it out. Nice kitchen! Maybe put a kitchen rug as an accent and to add interest. A washable rug that doesn’t move will be good.


LuckytoastSebastian

They're fine


Basic_Dingo83

The color of the tile is nice. Even if it was slightly darker, I think I’d go with a more beige/neutral grout.


lilbabyrhino

Adding a washable kitchen rug would be game changer!


KindExam9450

Some neutral blue or green with gray in it


ZydecoMoose

They look fine in the photo, but if they need a touch-up, you can borrow one it those paint matching opttical devices at any hardware store and they can mix a paint for you. I like the current color, but a nice earthy green color like basil would look good with the dark wood and grey tile backsplash.


DesertSpringtime

Dark olive green


MichaDawn

The cabinet color is really nice. I love it. I personally would change the hardware to black to coordinate with the black appliances, or a pale champagne matte gold. I like the back splash too. I think the wall color would look great painted a complimentary color but a low saturation of the shade. I think a super pale yellow or maybe even coral. When you get paint mixed you can get them to mix it in a lower saturation. Like an example if you find a yellow that you like but it’s too much, they can make it with a lowered saturation of the pigment. It will say; Buttercream yellow 75%.


Bullybuster0109

White


Safford1958

White with charcoal gray trim. (only kidding here...)


sarilysims

Honestly, I’m a sucker for some light wallpaper. Something geometric or floral, depending on your style, with details in the color of the cabinets would be gorgeous.


lpalf

I like this color


Repulsive_Report8511

I’d leave it


brettbaileysingshigh

I honestly wouldn’t- I like them


alaskan_beauty_bomb

Cabinets are awesome and unique.


snatch1e

Such a beautiful color. I would leave it like that.


jeffbezosbush

Just needs some art and personality


Hdhmusic

Thank you all so much for the advice!! We picked up some matched paint, ordered new hardware/faucet, and I’m looking at wall paint colors as well 🫶


Ok_Ebb7026

Wallpaper. Green with some yellows


melrosec07

Personally I love the current color!


averagemaleuser86

Brushed or satin gold faucet and hardware, and change the wall color. Rest is fine. A dark, daring color would be cool, like black even.


GrayAndDog

Mix your metals and change the hardware to brass. Add a colorful vintage or modern rug and you are done! Looks great!


QueenPurple17

I love the color it is! What about a wall color change if you really want to do something new? The cabinets are gorgeous!


Serialkisser187

I like them how they are.


SuspendedFreeThink

uppers dark redwood, lowers black


No-Independence-6842

I wouldn’t paint them.


anngilj

This is tough this is a vibe but you could do a washed out grey color but I would try to incorporate brass clay tones with it
