Since you like blue, you could use cabinets that are white, stained wood, or taupe, with a solid white countertop, and a pale blue back splash. I would take inspiration for the colors from your foyer floor, and stick with blue, driftwood, and taupe colors. The lighter colors will still look neutral.

calidesign thanks for your advice. I haven't thought of taupe but since my floors are kind of taupe, you don't think it'll be too much of the color?

This may sound really out there, but for some reason I’m thinking purple could look good with your floor. I’ve seen purple cabinets that looked really cool.

bouncy5 I've seen lilac cabinets that I love, like a gray lilac, but I also have a green bathroom right next to the kitchen, it may clash. Green, blue and purple.

The taupe would need to be darker than the floors, like the grout color in the last photo. You could also do white cabinets with a light tan/taupe quartz countertop or back splash.

calidesign thank you. I really like that last one! I wonder if it would look good with satin brass hardware

I know you said you didn’t want blue cabinets...but you like blue so how about a blue range?

justerrilynn I absolutely love it, I was looking at Big Chill appliances and was pretty set on a blue set they have, however a few months back while strolling through Best Buy I found a killer deal on a Thermador oven and cook top and bought it, it's been in my garage ever since.

what about something like this? Or is this too washed out?

I know you said white, but what if you go for a statement countertop, instead, and keep the rest fairly neutral?

I love that! I saw this granite in person a few months back and fell in love with it, but it's a little pricey. I don't have an island in my kitchen, it's narrow, is it ok to put blue counters throughout? It's a dark kitchen too.

With white cabinets, a white back splash, and good lighting that blue granite would be beautiful.

Does anyone know if it's okay to have to decorative tiles on the same floor- like first floor? I have a decorative tile in the bathroom and would like to add a decorative tile as the back splash in the kitchen. The bathroom is a few feet away from the kitchen. Would it clash?

calidesign just wanted to say a BIG thank you! We have decided to go with painting our kitchen cabinets taupe. We didn't think of that color on our own, it didn't even cross my mind, so thank you so much! I've already spoken to the cabinet guy and painter. This is the general idea I'm leaning towards. I'm going to have 2 different decorative tiles around the kitchen area (fireplace & bathroom) so I'm going to keep the back splash a solid color. Thanks again!

That looks like a great combination! Post some "after" photos!
