Floor is too gray.

You don't need the "dumping ground" next to the fridge, you have an island within reach

Where is the microwave

You don't need a BACKSPLASH decision until the tops are INSTALLED.

The perimeter cabinetry: ONE color top and bottom,/make the island different if you like.I'd put the cyberspace on the island, its very deep. Something lighter, top and bottom around it.....it's very dark. Or make the uppers wall white/shoji. There;s no reason for another "color"

Nobody can advise a top. You must take the "cyberspace" painted on a board.....and go counter shopping. Do you want quartz, marble, soapstone, granite, quartzite? What? Go shopping to the local stone yards.

You must have an insp picture. Where is that ?

Ok, Jan. I am listening. Intrigued by your clarity. If the dumping ground were gone, what would you replace it with? It’s a narrow 21” cabinet, so a micro did not work there.

If we went with Cyberspace across all uppers and lowers, is wood on the island then the best look?

The flooring is not reflected in the rendering, just in the photo of the LVP. Hope that helps.

You have my head spinning. In a good way.

Rereading your thoughts: I guess I was asking if pure white will work on the uppers if we go with the Cyberspace on the lower cabinets. Or how I think about the tones of all the lighter surfaces in relation to each other, in principle. Your ideas are already helpful. Thanks for your generosity!!

This is more the look we would get if we dropped the color on the lowers

The * dumping ground * is useful you put stuff down on it while you open the fridge and for collecting every thing in one go from the fridge !

Great counsel, well received. Grateful for your input. Thanks so much!!

This is a reno, but pretty gutted! The flooring is exceptional as it gives permission for almost every future design direction. I am hanging on to the grey in the flooring because we have lived all over the world and the grey provides a great offset to teak (both greyed and natural)and other woods we will bring into the space. The reddish tones in the flooring make room for the fir that’s in the beam and privacy screen and the taupe allows us into all the next generation beiges and tans that are coming!!! It’s like a carpet that pulls it all together in a unifying way.

I'd use Pure White or Extra White on the uppers and lowers with Cyberspace on the island. The narrow cabinet next to your refrigerator could be a great spot for a coffee station. Rev a Shelf makes several different pod inserts for a drawer that size.

Thank you!

I'm just going to add that I love the floors! Don't change them :)

I love the floors too. Great idea to paint a larger piece of wood to take with you looking at countertops. I have granite at home and Cambria at the lake, love them both.

Pure white on the uppers, we did very similar with navy lowers and island. Your floors are great, very easy to decorate around, not too gray at all. And KEEP the cabinets and counters next to the fridge, I'm so glad we added that! It'll be the coffee station for us. We have a big walk in pantry to no need for pantry cabinets. Not done yet but this is ours...

Aww. Thank you for loving my floor. It is really a pick that saved the day for me. Every designer/vendor who saw it after I chose it was shocked at how it can play warm and cool with equal beauty.

Itsourcasa, thank you for sharing your project. Love your quality cabinets, your lighting, the chunkyness of your island and your roomy space. Did you use Hale Navy? Looks great!

Thank you Mona! The cabinets are actually kraftmaid the color is midnight so I'm not sure of a paint color name but it seems close to hale navy which I love.

The dumping ground as it’s been dubbed at this point is personal preference. We have a tall pantry cabinet beside our fridge and turn and place on island if we are standing at fridge. Works great. We also have a dumping ground spot but it’s hidden more than yours so it holds our coffee maker and other odds and ends.

We have iron mountain which is a dark grey for our pantry wall, island, and base cabinets. We have Snow White for our uppers.

@A S: This is interesting and looks sleek. Have looked at Iron Mountain as an option, too. Thanks for the paint combo. So do you think the pantry wall can be seen as a separate section as far as color goes? We have our fridge wall and a door that opens into a step-in pantry. If you had a visible pantry, what color would you paint the shelves and cabinet in your scenario? Iron Mountain or SW?

Our designer said that the pantry wall should we all one colour. We were super hesitant about it but love how it came out. Here is another pic at a different angle.

If the pantry is behind a closed door I don’t think it needs to be linked to main kitchen colours but I’m just a homeowner ;)
