Go Kitchens

Hi, I need help with my kitchen colour scheme?

Can anyone help me? We have a large, modern boxy kitchen with Ikea beech cupboards and chrome handles. All our appliances are chrome. We have real terracotta floor tiles in an orangey tone and pale peachy mottled rustic wall tiles. I have a golden oak rustic farm table and a shaker coloured welsh dresser in the kitchen. I collect blue Polish pottery with a few dark terracotta bits and cream on them, on display in the dresser. I am trying to find a wall colour and roman blinds/or other window treatment that will coordinate the traditional furniture and the modern kitchen units and chrome. We also have white wooden venetian blinds in the 3 windows, as we are overlooked, but I want to add some fabric around them. All the lines from the tiles on the wall, floor and blinds mean the kitchen is already very busy visually. I can't really add more lines with stripey fabric on the windows, but I do feel the room looks too soul-less right now. Can anyone help keep the warmth and blue?

1. Why not take some of the bluish pottery you have got to B&Q they can match up the colour with their colour mixing machine you could use that on your walls, also cream is fabalous with those colours or even a very light brown
2. For the walls, try a deep cream. this is a calming color, and will still pull together. For the windows, how about a valance, or swag that hangs about half way down window frame in a blue just a bit darker than the potter? Or else, you could do a real deep dark green, but i think a dark blue would be best. I would not put color on the walls because of all the color in the floor and furniture.
3. I'd say for the walls try a peach or cream color. You can use the blue as an accent color.
4. Id paint the walls a pale grey that has just a hint of blue in it: Sherwin Williams; "krypton". For the windows, id use a fabric roman blind in a terra cotta color.
