Red Kitchen Redesign

Tim & Sue are about to move into a new home. Before even moving in, they want to paint the walls in the great room and kitchen. Their goals were to lighten the space and to have a paint color that would look good with the color going up the stairs, but different enough that it doesn’t look like you tried to match the color and failed.
This is the before I was shown. Scary, dark, and very cluttered.  I will now show you what I have dreamed up for this space.
Option 1: Paint the walls a neutral color.
Already this is a million times better, but I would still like to see it updated a bit more.
Option 2: Paint the walls and paint the cabinets
Option 3: The Whole Wham Bham.
Obviously, this is just an IDEA of what you could do. However, I think this kitchen would look AMAZING with a light paint color such as Moonshine or Palladian Blue from Benjamin Moore. The cabinets are in great shape, and the layout works well, so I would suggest painting the cabinets white.
Options that could be added over time:
  • A new pantry door with a glass insert to break up the massive wall of wood.
  • Hardwood floors – any stain would look amazing in this kitchen.
  • Backsplash – a white subway tile or mosaic would look good, if you like the look.
  • Granite Countertops: I have shown Alaskan White.
 Lets look at the before and afters of that again:
UMM. I think I just drooled all over my desk. I love it. I hope they like what I have come up with!

    Wow! Looks so much better. I think I need to have you over to our house – we need to do some painting and I do not have the eye you do.

    oh they MUST change out that pantry door! What a big impact that has for not too much money. Nice job Brooke!

    Great suggestions! It looks so fresh and updated! What program do you use to simulate the changes? I’m looking for something like it.

    I would recommend adding glass (or frosted glass) front doors to the two cabinets on each side of the stove…SO much wood.

Brooke - Brooklyn Berry Designs

Hey, I’m Brooke!

I am a mom to 4 boys in Calgary, Alberta.  I love learning how things are made, singing to the radio loudly, and can’t stop talking. Fueled by diet coke and chaos, I can often be found working on a project.  You can hang out here for craft ideas and tips, games and activities to do with kids, plus FREE svg files and printables.
