Kitchen Cabinet HELPPPPP

12 years ago
We are currently building a home and need help with cabinet colors for the kitchen. Our kitchen layout is shown below however the colors are in correct. (The Lower cabinets will also have fillers where it shows gaps) I want mainly White (linen) colored cabinets with Dark wood accent ones as well. In the corner where is shows a blank space, there will be a pantry with a door (in dark wood). We were thinking all White cabinets except on the ones near the sink, those would be dark brown? HOWEVER there is a single wall cabinet to the left of the sink (when you are looking at the sink from the front). That cabinet throws the entire idea off... so were thinking- dark cabinet above microwave (above stove), the drawers on the long wall (There is a window in the open spot on the wall between wine holders) would be dark brown and the single double door cabinet below the sink? HELP PLEASE

    There is also a wall behind the cabinet floating in space :) The entire "island" or peninsula? will be covered in a decorative brick (where you currently see the back of dishwasher and sink cabinet)

    If you are pairing linen cabinets with a dark stain, I think it helps to glaze the cabinets to help it meld with the dark cabinets. Are you planning on that?

    I looked at your idea books, I'm assuming this is the look your going for?

    I love it. I can't tell if this cabinets are glazed or not, but they look great with the dark stain.

    jbonnert1, congrats on your new home. What software did you use to render the kitchen in 3D ?
  • 12 years ago
    Arley-Yes, that is very close to the look however the floors would be a tad darker. We do have a "whiskey black" glaze going over the white to help it all blend as well. Since the kitchen does not technically have an island as its actually connected to a wall and has a single wall cabinet we just cant decide color wise as the "non island" is throwing us off

    Ed, the company in which we are ordering the cabinets actually put together the 3d "sketch"

    Hi, what color will the counter tops be ?
  • 12 years ago
    They are Venetian Gold and the fixtures are the oil rubbed bronze

    To start, I would consider the whole area by the oven in the dark stain. The uppers and lowers. But leave the cabinet over the fridge in linen.

    What does your kitchen designer suggest?

    what type of back splash will you have ?
  • 12 years ago
    all wall cabinets and ( window wall ) base cabinets should be linen white. door hardware should be oil bronze

    We don't have a kitchen designer and we don't have a contractor... we are doing this all alone. This is why I come to you all! Thank you for all the suggestions! We have not yet picked out a back splash, so those ideas are welcome as well! We do have stainless appliances but are open to black as well.

    I like netcab's idea. Why not try a search for two toned kitchen cabinets under photos? We don't have a designer either and it's really tough. I find myself second guessing my choices a lot. The person who did your drawing, he/she is not a designer? If not, you really need to be careful on the overall design as well. You need space for cabinet doors and drawers to clear moldings and walls, but not so much space that it requires "too much" filler. Your designing a beautiful kitchen, you don't want to miss those little touches that make it look refined.

    I came up with our overall design, but our kitchen cabinet guy has been working in the field for 20 years. So he does know a lot of details, but I wouldn't call him a designer, either.
