The darker one would look like you were trying to match the island but doesn't match, so would not look good. What about white? What kind of floors do you have? What kind of counters?

I agree, I think I'd go for a contrast, lighter cabinets but with similar intricacy to the island.

Another, but I personally don't like that distressed look they have on the island. Look at the style and contrast, though.

This is the kitchen with the old wall cabinets. The floor is Marble Crema Marfil, in the countertops I want to go with Taj Mahal or Perla Venata quartzite.

I would go for the lighter color, but then I don't like dark colors. My neighbor has dark cabinets and gray walls, I feel like I am in a cave. I want light colors that blend together as you move from room to room.

Whant to get a similar look with the walnut cabinet

I would paint the cabinets.

I would go with a painted cabinet also.

If you are going for the look in the pic you posted then I think you are on the right track but I'm not sure I like either of the door choices you posted. I think the darker door seems to be more related to the island color but maybe see if you can find it a touch lighter.

I agreed with continuing the hunt for the complementary stain. Watch the panel styles too. I really like the inspiration photo with multiple woods! Rich and mellow!

The both doors are the same style just different stain.
Thank you for all your replies. I am afraid that in the inspirational kitchen the floors are wood but mine are light cream marble. Do you think it will look good?
