This is long and rambling, sorry, please read, I'd be very grateful for your opinion - yellow kitchen with white cupboards or white kitchen with blue cupboards?
We're hoping to put the house on the market this year, we've been in nearly 4 years and have had to renovate throughout but have run out of money at the kitchen. We're going to tidy it up (paint and new lino down) and I'd always fancied the shabby chic french country style look, (esp as we don't have a lot of money to do it, so this would be genuine shabby chic!) white walls, pale blue (bright-ish pale IYKWIM)woodworks/cupboards, cath kidston style accessories. - this would work well with painting over the cupboards that are there. However, would it be more sell-able if we did it in a more neutral colour scheme?
- e.g. our living room is a warm pale yellow, sort of a cross between cream and banana I suppose. Would we be better off painting kitchen same colour, with white cupboards and woodwork instead do you think? that way, the downstairs would be all the same, which with my Sarah Beeney hat on, means buyers would hopefully see it as a blank canvas and it would give the illusion of space etc. Plus, it's a kitchen diner, with the kitchen in the back of the house, DR in the front, and although the sun sets at the back, it doesn't really come in the kitchen, so it can be a cold room (we've currently got it in apple white, which is a lovely colour, but doesn't really warm it up).
