My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

advice for kitchen cabinet color

5 years ago

Please help: having a hard time picking color for kitchen lower cabinet. I am thinking of two tone cabinet: perimeter upper will be BM White Dove, with perimeter lower and island cabinet in another darker gray/blue color. I was originally thinking BM Trout Gray or Wolf Gray, but not too sure if it is too dark. My kitchen is L- shape, roughly 150x150. mostly window on one side (sink side without uppers except corner cab) and wall on the other side with uppers on each side of hood. Wall will be Balboa Mist. Countertop will be quartz white with gray veins, white/gray tile backsplash. Floor is light oak.

So any advice on what color for lower/island cab? Also, should I use the same White Dove for ceiling and crown/trim? Thanks!
