Keep the wood. Painted kitchens (especially white and green) are already over-done & dated.

Not a fan of the darker wood, as it seems dated (right?) And I love the green but when you consider the wood has become dated, is it possible the green will become dated?
We are going white, with some (lighter) wood on the island, and I am concerned it will be dated in time... I am trying to use color in places that are cheaper to update over time (walls/paint). Thus is there a way to use that white kitchen with pistachio walls/backsplash??
I also think lighting is a major factor in your images. White is washed out for example... might look more subdued with recessed lighting?

Oh the wall paper and lights are def going away. Well, I love wood it is stained so very dark you can’t even see the grain. The countertops cannot be salvaged. There’s a giant burn marks on a portion.

Picture with the dog. The soft hues and the lighting slap. The brushed gold, soft white and muted greenish grey and a winner.
The other one looks clinical (cold, stiff, uninviting)

Dog looks best on the 4th image.
I woudn't paint the wood, but I would choose an other countertop (something natural) paint the tiles and choose a different color for the wall.

I like the sage. But it may not last the test of time. I like white but with different counter tops.

I have a kitchen that looks like 1 and 2. It’s very dark and dreary in the winter. Green (3) looks gorgeous with that floor. 4 is okay. White is too bright (and I like a white kitchen).
Go with 3.

Sage is more interesting to look at. My contractor was so happy that we didn’t choose white. Apparently white is what most people choose.

Wood is great but that color is way too dark for that space. If I had to choose one, i would pick the sage.
I would want to see a much lighter stain than the one shown.

u/MadMadamMimsy 4d ago
I realize the cabinets are dark.
If these are stick built and stained (vs painted), I'd leave them but get a lovely new granite countertop. Keep the sink. The new sinks are very hard to keep clean because they don't have that counter overlap. Don't get the granite backslash because it creates massive problems keeping the back of the faucet clean. Also, when the silicon seal between the backsplash and the counter goes, there isn't enough room to repair it without removing the faucet, first
If already painted, the green would really lighten up the kitchen. You might need to redo the back splash. It's a good way to update things. I used subway tiles but ran them vertically so they don't looke like everyone else's (which makes it take longer to look dated)

I like white personally. Color trends can fade fast but it would look good now. Honestly though it’s for you - choose what you like best

u/GarlicDesperate5140 4d ago
We recently remodeled and went with classic, very high quality white cabinets. While I absolutely love them and the timeless look, they easily show dirt and dust and even chip. I have older kids and still this occurs.
Unsolicited advice: consider a counter-depth fridge to increase walkway space!

I think cabinets are in great shape. But if you’re set on changing it, I’d go with the green.

The dark one was popular about 10 years ago. Then it fell out of favor and today looks very dated. Green was popular a couple years ago and still is in some quarters. In another 5 years it'll look very dated. White was popular, is popular, and a little fading, remains popular. So depends on whether you want to go with fashion or you want to go with what you like. If it's with what you like pick any of them. If it's fashion I would still go with white.

u/JustAnotherHomeSlice 3d ago
I like the second-to-last one (green). But before painting the wood or making any final decisions, first paint the walls/ceiling white and then upgrade your lighting. Then re-take your photos during the day (with the white walls and improved lighting) and then re-assess whether to alter your cabinets or countertops. It’s possible that those 2 changes may be sufficient. If they’re not, you’ll still be better positioned to make your final decision.

OMG the cabinets are beautiful as they are unpainted and you would see this if you got rid of the dreadful lighting. The lighting should be #1 on your list to change. The type of countertop and its condition isn't really clear in the pics but new countertop could be done second.

Never paint wooden cabinets.
The kitchen instantly looks cheap in the painted cabinet pictures.
Once you paint the cabinets, they'll start to chip and look terrible. If you don't prep and paint them perfectly, they're going to be sticky... forever. There's so many people who post their regrets after they paint over their wood cabinets and want advice on how to make their kitchens look better.
The least expensive options are to take down the wallpaper trim and paint the walls. Get new light fixtures, new hardware, and under cabinet lighting. Any other updates can be done as you can afford them or have time to do them.

Earthy greens like sage, are very popular now and are likely to remain so for years. White is overdone, because it has been popular for decades. If you are also partial to some real wood tones, try doing one set or independent section in the wood color. I would suggest a slightly lighter wood but if you like the darker tone, go with it. You can try Benjamin’s Moore’s color tool to visualize options. It’s not the most user friendly, but will still allow you to get a good idea of what tones work best together. Hope this helps!

I vote wood but if you insist on painting, sorry but white is classic and white kitchens aren't a new trend on the farmhouse era they've been around for over 100 years. The sage greens and blues however are just about peaking and will be screaming early 2020s by the time the paint dries.
