I want to paint my kitchen, its quite small and at the moment it is pink Grin, would like to go for something light and calm but not sure what colour.

What colours are your kitchen walls?

Wedgewood blue - it's pretty small but has a lot of pale coloured units so having a strong colour worked for us.

CrapBag · 17/04/2014 16:22

Dulux natural Hessian. Love it. Neutral and light but a nice colour. Will be using it in another room when we move too.

Would definitely say light and calm covers it.

I've been painting my kitchen today with the Dulux light and clear range with those lumitec particles in - brilliant white (already have the moon shimmer - cream, and the cotton which is blue in another room).

The kitchen has become inside as I've added a conservatory to it so wanted it to be as bright as possible - it's great and was an unknown pale blue before.

Really brightened it up.

I have a lovely sagey green. Light and calm.
Don't remeber the name though.

MillyMollyMama · 17/04/2014 16:40

We have Farrow and Ball "Pointing". I like "Cornforth White" too. It didn't go so well with our cupboards but could look wonderful with white units.

Bunbaker · 17/04/2014 16:41

Sunshine yellow. Our kitchen is south facing and the colour looks just right.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 17/04/2014 16:41

A sort of pale duck egg colour. I am rather fond of it.

RubySparks · 17/04/2014 16:44

Sort of purple, just finished painting today! It is dulux and mocha something but does look purple then lightens as it tries. Like natural hessian too, we did some woodwork with that, very nice.

NotMrsTumble · 17/04/2014 16:55

White! But I have lime green tiles above the worktops and this wallpaper on one wall.

White paint is cheap and cheerful and easy to re-do, ime, but I do like to have spash of colour.

Thank you, I think I will end up going with duck egg blue or wedgewood blue, we had sage green for a while but wasn't keen. I have a bright pink kitchen aid (the only nice thing in my kitchen) so I need something that wont clash with the pink so I think either blue or a very light grey?

We have light colour units and the kitchen is quite small with not much light so I think I need to go for a light colour. I also use my kitchen to run my cake business so I need a colour which makes the kitchen look nice a clean Smile.

Would love to use wall paper but worried it will get dirty easily (what with dd2 rubbing her hands on everything and me splashing food everywhere).

In that case I'd choose a light grey.
Light blue and pink might seem a bit... baby-ish?
Grey looks clean and if you take pics of food and kitchen that might work very nice.
Good luck with your cakes!

I've got two kitchens.

The first is large but north facing. It's currently pale lemon and frankly, I'm going to change iT. The lack of light makes the bright colour seem somehow sad. I dunno why!

The second is smaller but south facing. It's white and silver and is lovely!

BurdenedWithGloriousPurpose · 17/04/2014 18:17

I have wallpaper.

Everyone but me hates it. Grin

So either I have terrible taste or they do. I think it's them.

This is what I have. I love it. My kitchen is small and can be dark as it's inside like Laurie's, but it's lovely and bright and cheerful now.

BurdenedWithGloriousPurpose · 17/04/2014 18:19

Oh and that link doesn't really show the colours well. The pink birds are really really pink! Grin

BurdenedWithGloriousPurpose · 17/04/2014 18:20

Oh Ffs the link doesn't work, does it? Easter Sad

MadamBatShit · 17/04/2014 18:41

yes it does!

Love the birds!

thesaurusgirl · 17/04/2014 19:00

Dulux Natural Calico, loads of people on here recommended it and I love it. I'm addicted to colour and pattern and it just seems to calm everything down.

Yorky · 17/04/2014 19:16

Our kitchen diner is Crown bamboo leaf and I love it. Not too dark or too cold a green, but stops it being bland with cream units

Veins · 17/04/2014 19:25

Sherbet orange

FromagePlease · 17/04/2014 19:26

White. The colour is in the decorative touches and furniture

Lagoonablue · 17/04/2014 19:35

Dulux heritage sage. Lovely.

silverfingersandtoes · 17/04/2014 21:33

Dulux urban obsession - darkish grey. Love it. So does everyone who sees it (well, they say they do Hmm. Have bright red range in the middle to lift it!

Abzs · 17/04/2014 21:38

Dulux soft vanilla. Otherwise known as pale yellow. Faces north and long and narrow. Needed something light, but warmish.
