Renovating my kitchen and seems i'm going backwards. I installed the wallpaper Nov 2018..then got a cabinet made Feb 2019. The wallpaper and cabinet seem to be clashing. Wat color could I paint my wall? or wat type of wallpaper would look beautiful with the cabinet? I still have to stain the upper shelf and bracket AND I still have to add some artwork and spray paint the wine bottles. We dont want anything too dark. the appliances in my kitchen are a deep red (toaster, coffee perk & microwave) PLEASE HELP!!
Centering things inside the brick area may be a start.
I love the colour of the wallpaper and cabinet but I think they are very similar so blending together a little too much. Can you find a complimentary colour to the reds you have and paint the wall that colour. The other idea would be to paint the wall a slightly darker shade of brown and use a wood graining tool through the paint to give it the look of wood. If the wall was a little darker the cabinet would pop in front of it. The wood graining tool I'm talking about looks like this... https://www.amazon.com/Allway-GT3-Graining-Tool-Set/dp/B003BKPRNQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1ODH5FCFOORCI&keywords=wood+graining+tool+for+painting&qid=1552232663&s=gateway&sprefix=wood+graining+tool%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-4
I would go just a shade or two darker but i like that they are close in color. It makes your items pop
Why did you not wallpaper to the edge of the wall. Do you still have extra wallpaper? Everything would look more cohesive if you could center the cabinet on that wall. Also clear out some of the tchotskies.
What cabinet? All I see is a shelf in front of some wallpaper, and a small table in front of the wall.
