Go neutral
Yes, neutral can be boring. It's true. (It can also be super chic when done right.) Making a bold choice with your kitchen countertops might feel like the right way to go right now, but you may turn around in a couple years and regret that choice, especially if you're going to try to sell your home. You can always bring in pops of color with accessories or items that are easier to replace or redo.
For the last several years, grey has been the go-to color for homes. Prior to that, it was beige - a color that is currently seeing a resurgence even though grey is not gone - yet. Black and white is another currently hot option for color schemes, and, the bonus is, "black and white remains a classic combination," said HGTV. Certain colors will never go out of style - House Beautiful has 10 of them. But remember that no matter what color you choose, it's not permanent. Painting is one of the easiest ways to update your space and change the mood whenever you like.
Just keep in mind that high ceilings and other architectural features may make a DIY situation un-DIY-able and may make a redo more expensive because you have to hire someone. Key in on walls that don't soar to a pitched ceiling or that can act as a focal wall for high-impact that's easy to accomplish yourself.
