What color to my back splash in my kitchen

Question

I have painted my kitchen cabinets a dark brown, chocolate color, the doors and drawers a lighter brown. I want to paint the back splash a red color, like barn siding red. My "theme" in my kitchen is like a country apple. I have little decorations of apples, country decor, and some things that are a green color as well. Do you think this will look good?

Answer 1

I think it sounds great.

I would add some green.

Since its decorated in Apples.

My Cabinets are White.

And My kitchen is done in Black, White, and Pink.

My Back Splash is Pink. And plates and etc are black and white.

Sounds great though.

Answer 2

I think the red would be great but I would go with a more subtle red that isn't too bright. You could also use a border of apples or with green leaves or stencil them on top of the red. My daughter had the apple border in her kitchen with another border that went with the other one and was subtle. I think the two probably went together as you will find this often in Lowe's or Home Depot and they are meant to go together. I think some color is in order with dark brown cabinets. Have fun! Hope it turns out well.

Answer 3

I think red would look great, but how about a darker shade then barn red.

I'm thinking that a brownish-red, almost burgandy would look great.

Answer 4

I think Saintnick has got it right about a little more shade to the barn red.  That sounds great though.  I like your idea of the two toned cabinets.  Very cool!

Answer 5

That could make for a good contrast but try a small area first.

I would recommend a light tan.
