Incorporating Transitional Design into a Black/Brown Kitchen

Kaley C
il y a 7 ans

Hi all! First time homebuyer and first time Houzz user! The house we are buying has a lovely and newly redone kitchen, but I prefer a more transitional style. Since the kitchen is already nice and it's just a matter of preference, my fiancé is not going to make major renovations and painting the cabinets isn't and option. Looking for any ideas for paint colors and design recommendations that could brighten up the space with a transitional style, while still maintaining the black granite and dark cabinets. Thoughts?

    You need a pale WARM gray, and you're going to have to test a few. Try Benjamin Moore "Wish" with the formula cut to one half. Stay far, far away from any gray with a blue undertone. It will turn the cabinetry "red' and the gray even bluer by comparison. Don't forget you can custom tweak ANY chip right at the paint store. Large sample boards to paint...and a bit of patience......are in order. As to a back splash......no riser, and no more darkness: ) and no busy busy glass mosaic.

      It is a nice kitchen! I'd be shopping for new light fixtures and figure out another way to dress the window then decide on new paint. New cabinet hardware is another great way to change the look of a kitchen.

      I'm with Kathy. Nice kitchen that really just needs new lights and window treatment. I would wait to paint until you pick those out and live with the space for awhile. You may find that this is the perfect color.

      Thank you so much for your feedback! I'll look into window dressings, but we are definitely painting before we get into the house. The entire house is yellow. :) Figured it would be easiest to paint before we move in all of our stuff and replace carpet in the bedrooms.

      I'll look into window treatments for sure, but would still love to hear any suggestions on a color that could brighten the space, but that would go well with the black/brown. I'm always drawn to grays and neutrals that tend to go well with white, but as you can see, we have none of that here!

      Agree with Kathy. Do some dressings first then work with a new paint colour is you are still looking for some change. It is hard to tell the true colour of the kitchen, the panels on the island, the colours that are in the counter tops, and tile. Colours could be picked up from these if you are looking still to change.

      I hear you! From this picture I thought only one wall was yellow (hard to tell on my iPad).

      There are many color gurus on this site who will most likely chime in, but you might look at Edgecomb Grey as it seems to be a popular choice.

      Luck you! Looks like you have a great space to work with. A transitional blue grey would look beautiful with the cabinets. Depends on your furniture colors since it appears the kitchen is open to the family room and would have to compliment that room as well. Regardless of your color choices, you can easily change out the pendant lighting (and dining light) to something larger with drum shades/transitional. Looks as if you could easily switch out the island to something a bit bigger, different color, shelves with unusual counter top etc. Adding a back splash and switch out any cabinets with handles to a more contemporary design. Good luck!

      Beautiful kitchen! You have a great opportunity to incorporate a backsplash that can tie in the brown and gray tones. A mosaic tile similar to the photo below will compliment your countertops and cabinets.

      Oh yea! Yellow paint must have been on sale because the whole house is yellow. :) The kitchen looks out to an open living room, so we'll have to find complementing colors for the main living area and the kitchen (if not the same color?). Obviously, I'm new at this!

      A light grey color, window treatments, under-cabinet lighting, maybe some LED recess lighting around the cabinet area, and maybe backsplash? Just a few ideas.

      SW Accessible Beige everywhere. Different pendants and different chandelier. Don't add a backsplash unless you remove the small granite backsplash. Having both is a dated look.
