We have added maple cabinets and bisque appliances. The floor will be beige. What should I do with the walls and countertop?In response, Ms Friedman suggested that to create a consistent design scheme, the counters should be in a similar colour to the floor.She also urged the homeowner to opt for washable bisque wall paint or wallpaper, noting that it might be possible to find a coordinating colour in fabric for the kitchen window.From bright colours, you are moving toward earthy tones, she added.In addition, Ms Friedman said such colours could be used for a sponge painting effect on the walls.Writing for newstimes.com recently, Joan De Merell, a sales associate in the bath department of US home design store Klaffs, claimed that more homeowners are opting for stainless steel kitchen sinks because of their functionality.
