We just bought a home and the kitchen is white white white!

I want to repaint the walls in some bright, fun color that won't be too harsh on the eyes, and won't make the house hard for resale - as we might move again in a few years. Ideas?

    Natalia, I love your kitchen for the space, great bones and ventilation. Color is something that will change this place for sure. You can install an interesting backsplash and pick a few colors from the backsplash for wall color. This is one way of doing it. I suggest you dress up the island too, a contrast color works great for islands, a few nice bar stools, lighting for the island and a nice contemporary light fixture for the kitchen will spruce up the space. I can't really tell what is ...»
    going on in the other areas of your home, but for inspiration sake I put a mood board together for you. Get inspired!!

    I LOVE yellow and gray right now. They are really big in fashion design, which translates to home decor. I think if you chose a buttery yellow, it would not send potential buyers running for the hills. Also, grey is so hot right now. It is neutral so it would pair well with so many other colors. If you used a neutral like that on the walls, then you would be able to use any other color combination in your fabrics and table ware. Good luck!

    Hello Christie,

    I would stick with light pastel colors. As Christie said yellow is a good choice just not cation yellow, and light green or blue are good colors to. I would pick my color choice based on the counter type and color.
