Help finalize Kitchen Cabinet Colors

6 years ago

I am finalizing Kitchen Cabinet colors and tried some 3D renderings of my kitchen with the intended colors. The main colors are white and Navy, and the countertop will be Calcutta Extra Quartz (white with gray and blue veining). The backsplash will be decided depending on other color selections as white or mostly white. One Kitchen wall will be all white and the Island will be blue. One wall has Gas Range and the other an integrated fridge with matching big Pantry. I would appreciate some feedback on the following color options around the stove and fridge wall. Thanks a lot for your input in advance.

This Houzz kitchen is my inspiration photo, but I am realizing, in my space, the third color brings in too many elements, so sticking with a two-toned kitchen.

I prefer option 2. I do a lot of cooking and do not find my current white cabinets below the stovetop to get any dirtier than other areas. In fact, the dirtiest cabinet is *always* the one with the trash pullout in it. I have to clean it often while the rest I do on an "as needed" basis.

I love the inspiration kitchen. Since going with two tone I have another thought. Would you be opposed to doing your kitchen in white and the wood tone shown in the inspiration picture. The reason I ask is that the navy, while pretty, is a trend that will be outdated in the next 3-5 years. If you love it and don't care, then fine. I like to design kitchens and baths in a style I feel will last the test of time as they are expensive to redo. You can bring in navy in dishtowels, a tea kettle, a Kitchen Aid Mixer, etc.

Thanks a lot for the advice @Design Girl, but I would chance the blue. It speaks a lot to me, and I have given last 20 years to various shades of brown.

The only dilemma is how much blue can I live with. My original plan was to have it only on the island and keep the rest of the kitchen White, but my KD suggested a darker shade around the stove as white can get dirty pretty easy due to cooking a lot with spices. I tried putting brown only there but hated the look of it, so added blue under the stove. But them DH likes Blue on Fridge wall as well, I am not so sure.

It all is very confusing.

Twenty years to various shades of brown - AMEN! LOL Me, too. I applaud you for going with what you love; even if it is on trend. Nothing is classic. Everything is a trend.

personally, I like option 4! I think the blue on the fridge wall is a bit much, but I like the way it would then flow through the whole kitchen. good luck with decisions!
