Hi- We bought a new house and we are currently decorating. I have a long, quite bright and airy kitchen. It has a pine floor and pine cabinets with black surfaces and off white small tiles. This would not have been a look I would have chosen, but we can’t afford to re-do the kitchen, so we have to make it work. We have quite a lot of Black kitchenware, which obv goes with the surfaces, but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what colour to paint the kitchen to make it tie in more? Other than white, I’m not sure which colour to paint the largest wall. Many thanks.

maybe a light yellow??
Congrats on the house! The nice thing is that from your description, the kitchen sounds like it has all neutral colors. That means you can probably bring in any color you want! I think a nice light green or blue would look nice with the pine colors, but really you could do anything. What is your favorite color? Do you have any accent pieces you’d like to pick up on, like vases, china, rugs etc? You can use those for inspiration. Good luck!
Ik houd van het idee van lichtgeel, als u wilt houden dat licht en luchtig kijk. Maar als u dramatischer wilt gaan, en een klein verwarmingstoestel, hoe over een diepe roest, of een schuurrood? (Niet een helder rood van Kerstmis.) Het zou heel wat WOW, toevoegen en zou u wat behaaglijkheid, ook geven.
