Hi,

I'm just about to get a new kitchen fitted. It will be ivory gloss, a walnut worktop and cream/ivory tiles. I am wondering what colour to put on the walls. I don't like dark strong colours but I'm so fed up with cream type paint. I'd like a change has anyone got any ideas for me.

Thanks,

TillyD.
 
Light olive green is what we have and it looks great.
Only real difference to your colour scheme is that we have a maple worktop.

how bright is the kitchen with natural light?
 
The kitchen has plenty of natural light. A large kitchen window and two large french doors (all glass) that open out to the back garden with side panels of glass on the doors too. I have 5 samples here, all different shades of light green and I am off to test them now...

I'm still open to ideas tho!
 
Don't like any of the greens. They are either too dark looking or too pale and cold looking. Any other ideas?
 
What about something slightly stronger than cream - but not too yellow?

Have you seen Dulux 'sunseed' ?
 
Tilly,

You've just described the exact kitchen I want, if you are in dublin area, would you mind telling me who your kitchen supplier is?

Thanks
 
Have you look at Dulux Heritage Range. Paint colour "Galway Bay" is very nice. It does look dark on the shade card but I bought a sample bottle and it is slighty lighter in colour to the shade card.
 
I've just done that type of kitchen for a client & they're dithering between Toasted Almond or Mellow Sage (both by Crown and both gorgeous colours that work equally well with the kitchen)
