    As you can see in the photos, this kitchen has 3 x pine doors and beach cupboards. There is one new light cream cupboard.
    Floor tiles are light brown & dark brown.

    Kitchen faces South West. Gets nice light from midday until evening.
    The existing colour is Crown Baking day. I think the overall effect is too "orangey".
    Hoping to freshen it up.
    What colour would people recommend?

    I would like more of a contrast, but without arguing too much with the existing colours in the room. Bright yellow maybe? Sage Greens?

    Suggestions please.

    What about a light olive green?
    Thats what we did. Suits a country kitchen.

    Hi,

    It's a nice, bright kitchen but as you're aware you are restricted slightly by the colouring of your tiles (floor and wall). Would you consider painting the cupboards and the pine?

    Hi,

    As per your kitchen space and your interest of color combination, I have found a design on kitchen design idea page on which lime and greenish colors are used for cabinets while light background is used. It might help you.

    Thanks everyone. We went with Dulux Pistachio in the end - (Olive Green) and it worked out really well.
    Thanks for the advice.
