Kitchen Walls

Here is the door wall leading to the hallway, it is lavendar and the walls to the left and right are eggplant

Having finished painting my living room, my next room is the Kitchen. The goal is to create a space in the whole apartment that flows from room to room especially the hallway, living room, dining room, and kitchen area because those rooms are more open to each other.

In the kitchen I chose to paint the walls eggplant. It looks hip and modern and I couldn’t be more pleased. I chose to paint the two longest walls of this galley style kitchen eggplant while painting the two other walls opposite each other, a lighter color to keep the space from becoming a dark cave. One wall is the window wall, and the opposite wall is the entrance to the hallway, so that when you are walking towards the kitchen from the hallway, you first see the window wall.

I chose to paint it a lavender but as I am painting it, I am not as excited about the color as I am with the eggplant. I am having second thoughts. I feel it takes away from the modern look the eggplant gave and is making the kitchen too feminine. The colors coordinate well but I am just not sure about the overall look. I have yet to paint the trim (almond) so maybe that will help.

The options are leaving it, painting it eggplant so all walls are the same color, or painting over it a more neutral off-white or very light gray.

The color scheme, almond for the trim, eggplant for main wall color, lavender for the accent walls
