These are my kitchen cabinets. What wall color would compliment them?
I'm also thinking about a white subway tile bkspl, and the undercounter lights are being changed and hard wired, as well as new lt over sink.
Thank you for posting these photos.

Gillian Delledonne on Nov 05, 2012Gray might be very pretty. If you're not sure go to the store and get some paint chips....the biggest ones you can find, (or get a couple of each colour). Put them on the cupboards and see how the different colours look during the day and evening so that you can judge them. It's a big job, so make sure you love the colour you're going with. Good Luck!!!Helpful Reply

WallsTreat Studio/ Kass Wilson on Nov 05, 2012You will need to take into consideration all of the other elements of the space. . . your floors, counter tops, walls, window treatments, back splash and even the rooms that may open up into your kitchen. When making changes, start by selecting the item that has the fewest number of options. Sounds like your floor, white appliances and counter tops are going to stay. Next, choose a back splash that compliments THEM. Lastly, choose your paint color because your options for colors are INFINITE.Helpful Reply

AK Complete Home Renovations on Nov 05, 2012Good info from @WallsTreat Studio/ Kass Wilson ! Also consider the finish on the paint, doing a vintage gray with some white antiquing could bring in lots of those tones you were discussing!Helpful Reply

True Identity Concepts on Nov 06, 2012Gray would work nicely from what I can see in your photos. Comparing it to the floor, countertops, and cabinets the shade will depend upon the lighting within the space. As Gillian Delledonne suggested, get some paint chip samples, or white boards painted with sample colors you've selected for the comparison during different times of the day. It is well worth the time investment to get the right tone. If you are going with a white subway tile, be sure to get a sample of it as well and place near all of these elements so that the decicision on the paint is made easier.Helpful Reply

AK Complete Home Renovations on Nov 06, 2012On our pinterest page, we re-pinned a nice pewter gray which we think has a vintage feel: http://pinterest.com/akrenovations/ak-style/ We also love the distressed look of the French Gray here: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1425171/list/Stress-Less-With-Distressed-CabinetsHelpful Reply
