We suggest a color that is a nice contrast to flooring. A light and neutral color. A possible cabinet color that works with the palette may be considered as well. Good luck!

what color is your furniture in the adjoining living room/family room. and what do you have for window treatments.

Your options are pretty wide open here. What colors are in the rest of the house? Definitely go with a more muted color than the current one though!

I agree with Sophia Designs, you may want to consider painting the cabinets as well, depending on how much you would like to change. If you are going to Keep the black appliances, I would suggest white cabinets, and deep warm gray color on the wall..it will give it a contemporary feel. Even if you don't paint the cabinets, I warm grey would be nice

There are so many factors to consider when selecting a color! The first step is to take a look at your existing furnishings and decorations (unless you're planning to replace them) - do you gravitate towards cool colors, like greens and blues and teals, or warm colors, like yellows and golds and reds?

If you don't know whether you lean towards warm or cool colors, consider this instead: do you want this space to feel energetic or calming? Warmer colors will energize a space more and cooler colors will calm things down more.

Since it's a large space, you'll want a color that will unite all of the adjoining rooms and furniture you'll be featuring across the spaces, so a less vibrant color group - like Benjamin Moore's Historic Color collection - may be a good fit. Best of luck with your project!

Some inspiration to use while leaving your black appliances in place. Don't omit the backsplash for some real zing!
