Need wall colour ideas for my stark looking kitchen

[Sammysquiz]

I have had a new kitchen installed. Pale grey cupboards, white corian counter-tops, and a large island also topped with white corian. Floor is wooden and walls are white.

It looks bright, fresh, clean.... and also very stark and like I could perform autopsies in it.

I’ve put up a few bright pictures, but think my best option is to paint the walls. But what colour? More grey to match the cabinets? I’d prefer something pale-ish as not keen on the contrast of a bright or dark colour against the white counters. I just need something to break up all the white!

Lots of neutrals/wood/plants if you don't want something bright. Maybe something on the walls like farrow and ball setting plaster? Have a look at someone like simplyscandikatie on insta. She had a light kitchen with lots of white but it doesn't look stark.

chartreuse

Farrow and ball cinder rose is gorgeous with white and grey

Mustard or olive

Welcome, by Little Greene. Has 3 or 4 shades, a grey with a purpley tone - would depend on the grey of your cupboards. You might want a contrast?

Off to google all these suggestions, thank you so much!!
