help with cabinet color

4 years ago

We are currently working with our cabinet maker for our kitchen cabinets. We’re going for a modern look. I have very little design skills in me!! Needing help on the color scheme and what works. Please let me know what you think works with the flooring we picked . We narrowed it down to option 1 or 2.

    pick number one but get a lighter floor. the floor you chose so far will read dark and grayish. with medium stained cabinets go a couple shades lighter as below. long term the better choice and easy to locate from any flooring store.

    Thank you for the comment and suggestion… the floor is actually not as grey in person. It’s more of a taupe.. but yes there are some grey in it.

    does number one actually look good w the floor? [in your setting?] i like number one but not certain it is at all good w floor......that means a big expanse of taupe...w slight gray will read cool and number one cabinet is definitely warm. maybe number 2 is a better fit and use white cabinets on the wall or something to offset all the darkish

    I agree with you @herbflavor #2 seems like a better fit with the floors but it may make the room look dark. The wall will be off white and there’s a lot of walls so it may help offset the dark. I will try to have the cabinet maker do a shade that’s just a tad lighter than #2.

    light counters/ backsplash and some brightness to the hardware can help...of course good lighting......

    #1 for cabinets, and #2 should be your floor color. Not the gray floors.

    how complicated are the wall cabinets...you could suspend his building those. wall cabs can be sourced RTA in white , quite easily. if you are going ahead w floor here is pic 1 w dark cabs /dark floor but lighter on walls ......and 2nd pic shows the effect of all dark cabinets w rather darkish floor. [even w large windows it seems very dark] consider all the options.....you have a few ways.

    Hello HU ..0071 - I know you’ve gotten some harsh comments on your flooring choice. But I agree that it’s a mistake. Having floors in those tones dictates the entire feel of the room. There’s no coming back from that. Please consider changing them to something warmer, mid tone. I’ve been looking at homes to buy and the houses that are lingering on the market for months now have flooring like that.

    I’ll try to go to the job site to get a better photo… I really do think the floors are more on the neutral tone than cool. But after discussing this with you all, i decide the #1 cabinets will be a better option to offsite the darker floors. Flooring I can change on the future but not my cabinets. Thank you for all your comments so far!
