How would you style this kitchen?

[Jamfirstest]

I am renovating this cottage for holiday lets. The red oven is quite over powering but im trying to avoid replacing it just yet.

I think the red and yellow looks dated but the paintwork is very new. Considering repairs ing the cupboards?

Any ideas?

It looks like there is a space between the cabinets and the ceiling. If so, could you get that filled in somehow? A lot of dust and grunge accumulates in a space like that.

It's a holiday let so you need something easy and cheap to do with the best return on investment.

You need to get rid of the yellow on the walls, it's a lovely colour but it jars with the red - go for white or an off white as other posters have suggested.

To tie it together then I would then get a vintage looking stencil and paint the tiles with a black pattern to create something like the picture below.

You are right the red with blue would be too CK for me and it's strange because I own lots from that brand

That's a good spot. I will just add it to the list of grime I'm tackling and there has been a lot!!

I've hired a pro cleaner for when all the decorating etc is done but I'm not there yet.

Hi everyone thank you so much for the much needed input. I think I need to get some testers. I think I'm going with the off white advice which is essentially what I wanted to paint the whole house with but the paintwork was so new.

I don't want the cream to look grubby so I will need to be careful with this.

Ideally I would paint the tiles but since we have a patch of damp that's about a5 size I'm getting a quote from my builder to retile the kitchen. Otherwise I will def paint them.

This has been such a helpful thread thank you xx

I would go for a white with a hint of pink.

But I would use the Dulux visualiser app rather than buy loads of tester pots.

To be honest the oven doesn't look like it fits properly- looks to be a gap at the top.
I'd replace the oven with a new mid range one and leave everything else as is for now .
Everything else will add up cost wise and not properly be that different to just replacing the issue.

There is a gap at the top. The job is separate and integrated. I might price up an electric oven it would be less bloody hassle!

Hint of pink is a great shout thank you- easier to style the red on a pink to red spectrum and east to dress with flowers for the agency pics thank you

Hi everyone just popped back to give an update as I went with the pink idea. It looks super bare right now but you get the idea. I'm much happier with a red to white spectrum of colour it was great advice xxx

Perfect colour for the space. What a change!

Perfect. Looks charming. Well done

Lovely. Very soft and calm. The pink weirdly goes beautiful with the red.

Strangely it doesn't jar with the yellow and the joining line from the stairs - it brings the yellow down somehow and looks more pastel. I'm going to choose some ceramic door handles next for the cupboards but it's a huge step forward - mn wins again ❤️
