kitchen cabinets color scheme?

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Hello! We're renovating our 60s house and right now focusing on the living/dining/kitchen open area room. We've picked a cool very light grey (eider white it's called) for the entire wall area and went with a light bamboo flooring. The kitchen/dining floor hasn't been replaced yet. I'm having trouble deciding on a kitchen color theme. I was originally thinking white and white counters. But maybe a color might be nice? Blue? As you can see the window is being replaced and also the window in the dining area to casement like the living area window. The kitchen overhead island is going away and being replaced with a detached one. Not sure about tile either! Also maybe a white upper and colored lower for the cabinets? All appliances also being replaced with stainless steel. Still need to replace stairs/paint/railings. etc. for reference. Thanks for any input! :)

Can you show a sample of what you picked? The cabinets, flooring, etc. So are you asking for help with counters? Do you know what material you want? It's best to take a sample door and floor to some stoneyards and showrooms to help you decide.

Will add a photo of the first draft of the new kitchen design. :)

I'd love help particularly with the colors - is an all white kitchen boring? Should I do a different color on the bottom half of the counters? Also, I don't think I want subway tile. I'd like something a little different.

All white can feel cold sometimes. What about white uppers and countertops and a color you love for the lowers (blue or green maybe)?

I probably would not do white cabinets AND white counters. It can look very stark. You could do a different color cabinet on the lowers, that looks great! Wood stain cabinets on lowers is also trending. Again, whatever you decide, bring your cabinet samples with you to a showroom so that you can make sure you select countertops that you like. Trust me, you'll know when you find the one.
