"kitchen wall color choice"

Question
My kitchen floor is white with blue flowers, cabinets are whtie, appliances are black, and the walls at present are white. The flooring is soon going to be changed as well. I want to paint and add color to my kitchen. I have one small window above my sink (far right, back wall) and french doors on the same wall to the far left on back wall. I haven't painted the kitchen in several years and need some kind of nice inviting change. My kitchen is a separate room from the rest of the house, not a great room. Its a decent size kitchen though. What color would go nicely that you can suggest? I am not an interior decorator by no means. Thanks, Julie

Hi Julie
I need more information: counter tops materials, color, cabinets, cupboards, flooring material, your style, window treatment, skylights, type of lighting. I think you understand that without “painting a picture”, I can’t give you a wall color idea.
Thanks!

After deciding to paint my kitchen cabinets almond, I am having a hard time deciding which color to pick for the walls. The new floor tile has various shades of greys and browns. It is called Verde, so it apparently has a green tint. My appliances are stainless. You should also know that my kitchen is long and narrow, without windows, so I need a light color for the walls. They are currently a sage color, and too dark. I am still thinking about a light green, or maybe a yellow, but I have to be careful with the almond cabinets. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am sure if you are reading this blog then you have been keeping up with the market and do not need a quick synopsis of what has been happening over the past 3 years. Realtors as well as Sellers have been struggling and hoping for better days; the buyers, well are just popping popcorn watching the show.First off, let me say that I totally understand why SOME buyers are hesitant on pulling the trigger. There is not one week that goes by when I am just in a casual conversation when someone says “I can’t imagine why it’s so slow for you guys, the rates are low and prices are low…buyers are crazy not to buy now”. True and not true. The fact of the matter is rates and prices are low, but in general a lot of people are unemployed and if they are employed they are shaking in their boots that they will lose their jobs, so buying a new home isn’t even a thought now. BUT, for those that are very qualified and secure with their employment and currently out looking at homes and giving feedback like “house needs too much work, waiting for rates to drop, waiting for prices to go down or priced way too high for competition out there…….your days are limited to have that ability to pick and choose on your watch. I have many listings that are getting a few showings, but the above is the typical feedback from the buyer’s agents. In the buyer’s agents defense, they give this feedback from their clients and are not really sure what the buyer is thinking or is going to do. For example, as most Realtors can tell you…they drive buyers around for 2 weeks or so and seem to be gung-ho on one house and then never hear from them or at the least hear something like “we are going to wait”. That is okay in some cases, but my point is we are at a pivotal time here when buyers should definitely get off the fence and make a move within the next 8 months or so.

For the past year you have all heard reports…..we are coming out of the recession, or the economy is picking up or this or that…..well, that is coming from people who want you to believe that, ie: the National Association of Realtors or Home Builders Association or any other trade group who needs activity to increase….which is a legitimate claim given “their” studies. But now the Housing Starts have been climbing since June which is the single best indicator that the Real Estate Market, no matter where you live will start to pick up. Maybe not tomorrow or next week, but with increased Housing Starts, the countdown to recovery has begun.

Bottom line is by mid 2010 Sellers, instead of getting dreadful feedback on how bad their kitchen wall color choice is, will be getting multiple offers and scoffing at minor house flaws that buyers are giving now. Multiple offers and lower days on the market will be seen again and buyers will have to make quicker decisions if they really want that house….and be willing to come a lot closer to the Seller’s asking price.

If you are in the market to buy, now is the time to get serious and do something before the rates climb and housing recovers fully. For more information on my Local Market in Raleigh, NC please visit us here.
