Im wanting to paint my boyfriends kitchen red. He has a black table and black appliances. The kitchen connnects to the grey living room. I was thinking about black curtains but I dont want the room to feel small and dark. Suggestions?
Black and red sound good. I would not put up curtains in the kitchen as they can get greasy and need a lot of cleaning. What about a simple roll blind for the kitchen window. Grey would be a good colour as it would tie in the colour of the dinning room and be a lighter colour to match the black and red. Red walls would make the kitchen appear smaller so why not just have a nice grey for the walls with a red feature wall?
Off White, not too white should be okay for the curtains. I would add appliances that are grey might work with a red and black kitchen, providing it's okay with your boyfriend. Red and black are bold colors but it can be toned down with off white and grey. Good Luck
Red is not a cheery color to wake you up in the morning to a bright new day. Red is angry. Dark strong colors shrink any room. So definitely would reconsider the color. You want it a pastel yellow or almond color...even light green. Actually work off of the ceramic tile colors and the floor colors as those stay. Really. You can always put Red on top of the colors I suggested but to do it over red will take 2 coats minimum to cover red as it will come through. Even a bf has a taste in colors...so ask him first might be an idea to consider. Black fits with any color.
