Kitchen Cabinets/Island..Same or contrasting colors?

11 years ago

We're underway with our home renovations however, I'm stuck! We're going with dark espresso custom cabinets on cream/sage colored faux wood porcelain tiles. We're also doing an island and I wanted some contrast with the cabinetry but I haven't seen any good examples of the colors we're going with. I'm thinking an off/white or cream island cabinet. Any pointers?

A contrasting island would be nice. Just make sure it won't be the only off white thing in your kitchen/house, so it doesn't look out of place.

Thank you! The countertops are a cream quartz and the backsplash has cream compliments.
