I think white caninets on the bottom will make it look cold since your floors are white. Dark on bottom and white on top would look nice!

I also think a dark grey would look better then black on the bottom cabinets.

Two tone!

Depends on the size and layout of your kitchen. Not enough pix to make a call on it yet. In a smaller space it can look congested when you have two colors. I like parameters all white with a soapstone counter and the island black or charcoal with a white counter, if there is space enough for the contrasts not to be jarring.

Really like the look of the black base cabinets and white upper cabinets you posted above. I think moving in that direction would be very interesting and would probably look awesome. You can always take a photo of your cabinets with the new facing and use photoshop to play with color combinations. If you are proficient in photoshop you can always just print some photos and use some colored pencils or markers. Good luck!

I don't generally care for the look of two-toned cabinets, but if your floor is very light it could look very nice. I agree with the suggestion above of photo-shopping to see what you like best.

I really like your floors. I’d do black or a warm gray (consider Knoxville gray by Ben Moore). Full disclosure: we have a small kitchen with black lowers, so I’m biased.

As to trendiness, people were warning of that when we did ours originally 13 years ago. One thing I’ve found is that while many love two tone, there are some that very strongly and vocally dislike it. I think it’s like any design choice and do what works for you and your space.

How big is your kitchen and does it get good lighting? Keep in mind those inspiration pictures are professional, meaning they've been brightened. Two-toned can look good but it can also chop up the space. Just use your judgement.

I do however recommend you NOT paint your backsplash. You're doing 90% of a remodel but going to paint a backsplash, the cheapest thing to change out? It's going to look cheap and it won't last long. A painted tile backsplash is a VERY short term solution. Bite the bullet and replace it when you're doing the rest. It might also get damaged anyways when replacing the countertop.

Like the classic all white cabinets with black countertop. A long time favorite look. Although black countertops seem to highlight any dust, ask me how I know.

I think a painted backsplash is just fine. I had never had anything else and honestly I would be fine with a painted one if I had not been very lucky and had a BF that knew how to to do. It is NOT an inexpensive thing to have done, correctly.

I have white cabinets and black countertops and as long as you use the right cleaner and wipe them down frequently you qont see dust.

I actually don’t understand a apainted backspalsh since the one you have will be demolished in the reno anyway.I certainly would look into a hood for above the stove and as for 2 tone cabinets I would need to see the whole kitchen I find black cabinets look even worse that white ones when they are dirty and suck up light but the contrast with the floors could be nice.I hope you got a counter depth fridge for sure.
