Where is your inspiration photo because right now you have a white kitchen.

I am inspired by these kitchens.

Karen, they are ALL WHITE which you indicate "I love the clean Hamptons look, but I prefer a cozy feel over the cold, sterile feel. Any advice?"

You see the problem with your question? Embrace the white and add color accents or change the color of the kitchen.

Gray is not a warm cozy color. White, marble & SS are all sterile feeling finishes.

I love the look of dark wood floors and it does help warm up the room. However, have you ever had them in a work space (kitchen, laundry room, bathroom)? We have moved a lot and over time, I think I've had every possible type of flooring. Dark wood ended up being my least favorite floor - it was a never ending battle of trying to keep them clean/decent looking. I would vacuum and an hour later as the sun would move toward the horizon you would see every speck of dust, footprints, etc... It drove me crazy but, sure enough, about the time I couldn't stand it another second we moved! For a warmer look, you will need to move toward a white with more yellow (creamy) like the tones in the granite. BTW, I love the granite you chose.

You have described my kitchen! That im just now finishing up with backsplash.. A herringbone marble.. Used bianco antica granite which has some neat bronze, little orangy red pieces.. Have a darker espresso 5 inch plank engineered floor, white cabs.. Opted for a brown sink.. Just those little bits warmed it up enough to get out of feeling sterile..my pics arent great, but..

I love your backsplash, hardware and cabinet selection. I'm afraid the paint color will end up feeling too dark and compromise the look you're going for. I would stick with a creamy white paint on the walls. Also, what about lightening up the countertop, maybe pulling a color from one of the lighter shades in the backsplash? The dark wood floors should really warm up the space.

The more natural wood floors are warmer. A butcher block island top will also warm things up. Color and textiles can help warm up a white kitchen too. One question that comes up frequently here is "How can I warm up my white and gray kitchen?"

Light wood tones and color can help. Rethink gray if you live in a cloudy climate.

Thank you all for your input. I really appreciate it. I was hoping that the dark wood & the beige hues in the Cambria Summerhill Quartz & the Benjamin Moore "Silver Fox" would "warm up" the "coolness" of the white/gray/silver combination.

I am not a pro, but I love your Quartz/backsplash/floor/paint combo. If you want a little more warmth, maybe rethink your pendant and hardware finishes? Maybe an ORB finish would tie them into the floor and and darker specks in the Quartz? And the pendant looks quite sterile..maybe something with a cloth shade might be a little more textural. Just a thought.

I think that your grays are warm enough to do the job, especially with the dark wood. You can always add some art and/or accessories to add a nice feel. Daylight (like your last inspiration photo) always feels warmer that all-lightbulbs too...

Nothing says classic like white! Why are white kitchens top for 2016? Here’s a great

for 2016

Sounds like my kitchen! I'm stuck on the backsplash. Before you order the Cambria, go see the slab in person. I almost ordered the Bellingham based of a 2x2 sample and when I saw it person, it wasn't what I expected.
