I need colour help with new kitchen cupboards
Comments (5)Please ladies, enjoy your kitchens - you have to live with them all day every day. Unless you are thinking of selling in the really short term then have what you love - the next person will probably replace it all anyway, especially if you plan on being in your home for even 10 years. Kitchens are changing so much with all the new technology and products coming on the market. Mcctrish more photos of your kitchen would be helpful, I really can't comment too much with the photo you have provided, but I have just totally redone my kitchen (all for me) and I intended having a glass splashback but when the time came, I found it was just too plain and would do nothing for my kitchen. I think with the glass, you need to have a stunning feature colour to make it effective. That was my problem, there was no colour I could have to make it 'sing'. Look at photos on Houzz and you will see that glass splashbacks are the feature of kitchens. Start with the splashback before you decide anything else. Also, if you are just replacing your doors, are there any other fixed panels in the room that will be replaced also or will it be necessary for them to stay, which will then affect what you choose....See MoreThoughts on this coloured pine matching this kitchen?
Comments (11)If there is a horrible smell in your cupboards then maybe they need to be pulled out from walls and assess what the problem is. It could be a damp problem or it could be a vermin problem. I would do this as a priority. If mould is sitting between the cabinet carcasses and the walls, then this is a health issue. Hope you get some professional help to find the answer to your problem....See MoreNew kitchen in country cottage - what paint colour?
Comments (15)Since your home is a cottage, I feel mirrored is a bit modern but encaustic tiles would be gorgeous, something subtle would be lovely, maybe like this https://tilehaus.co.nz/products/austinmer-grey-encaustic-look-tile?variant=40293687460040&currency=NZD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_term=&utm_campaign=gs-2021-03-24&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&hsa_acc=2523824507&hsa_cam=12611051513&hsa_grp=122872652867&hsa_ad=509293891322&hsa_src=u&hsa_tgt=pla-293946777986&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=CjwKCAjwh5qLBhALEiwAioodsyZ9Y4FT2OEtSdHfzucjzV59JkZ-Gj3npqr9Q3HQv3GHcgOpw4orjhoCf7MQAvD_BwE Granted I do just have the colour swatch not a brush out or test pot, but to me Whisper White is looking very cream and I'm not seeing any green undertone Are you sure this is what you are looking for? Perhaps try Lyttelton Quarter.. or even better, choose your tile first and select the paint to work with the tile :)...See Morekitchen - how to finish the peninsula with new internal shoppers entry
Comments (13)thank you for all of your comments: @jen876 - an entrance into the garage would help in terms of security and also the outdoor area that I currently use as an entrance does not have much cover so in the rain it gets messy. Also the garage is a great place for extra storage for mops etc as my laundry in now a dedicated 2nd bathroom. @oklouise - haha yes we learn things every day. maybe shoppers entrance is an American term and I've been watching to many reno shows on channel 94. Also with the changes you had previously supplied, I'm not quite at the stage of doing a large renovation ie moving walls etc. I love the idea of moving kitchen to the current dining room, however I've been advised that moving plumbing to an island will be very expensive and require drilling through the flooring so therefore I will then be committed to redo all of the flooring (which I cannot finance at the moment) @Kate - yes I was leaning along the angled bench, reason being is that if my dining is close by I don't use the current breakfast bar like you would if it was a full island, and just knocking off the corner as you have drawn it would make for easier flow around the island, just the door to the garage would sit over to the dining a bit more. I think moving the cooktop/oven over to the other side would create a better cooking experience as opposed to it staying where it is with not much working space around it ( I know it's individual taste but would you agree?) @dreamer - I wouldn't want to extend the peninsula so I'm looking for ways for it not to encroach too much into the dining space, although as I'm working from home full time I have set my office desk in the current dining and have moved the dining table to sit in front of the sliding doors, which seems to work well. Also re the flooring, I would be ok with a small amount of disruption to the tile and would concrete over or add other tiles in the interim....See More- 10 years ago
