Hello Aleen

Before finalizing you should check the material of the kitchen cabinets. If its ready made then you cannot or rather should not plan to do another layer as it will not last and give a shabby looks. If its wooden, then go for polish instead of paint and concentrate on the decoration part instead of the furniture.

change the color of your wall tiles
change the color of your cabinet to white
change the color of your kitchen wall

Yes that's what I was thinking of doing. Can you suggest any colours?

change the colors of your wall tiles to sky blue (small tiles)

Hey Aleen,

It is rather dark but it looks really pretty. Until you redo the kitchen, here are a few suggestions!

1. Paint the lower cabinets white since they are sandwiched between two dark surfaces
2. Paint the upper ones a beautiful pastel sage (I love you colour options BTW, the mushroom and sage sound blissful)
3. and mushroom grey (really really REALLY light) on the walls
4. You can lay down a light coloured and thin outdoor rug on the floor to make the space lighter
5. add plants to liven up the space (could be faux!)
6. Lastly, the little sliver of the wall on the left is a bit of an eyesore. Try painting it over (black or sage green) and if it doesn't look nice (I have my doubts) then hang something there, like a faux plant, or some other kitchen decor item.

Let me know if you need suggestions for that. I'll have to do some deep-dive research for that.

all the best!

If you can, share the finished pictures!

Thank you miloni! Very helpful suggestions. Good point about the little trapped sliver of wall, I hadn't noticed that. I'll be sure to post an update once I've managed to buy paint - everything is sold out at the moment.

Looking forward to that Aleena!

Corona is really kicking out ass!
