I wouldn't go laminate flooring or replace tiles unless need to. Painting great and spend money on stone benchtop and glass splashback. Read posts on laminate flooring- doesn't have same longevity as tiles or other flooring

Nurali, I have looked through your Ideabook kitchen photos, and it looks like you prefer a modern style in neutral tones. Is that correct? May I ask what style of architecture is your home that you are renovating? Is it open plan? I ask because you may want to consider how the new kitchen style relates to any other connecting rooms. Is the laminate flooring throughout the house or just in the kitchen?

I have thought about some sort of white cabinetry too but could it look a little odd with the rest of the house, as the house is rustic? My second thought was maybe oak cabinets with a light granite bench top, which would be the safer but maybe not so modern? I really don't like the look of painted bricks. I have seen some very nice brick wall kitchens on Houzz but my kitchen seems to have more bricks then most and a lot of the kitchens in Houzz mix plaster in the room, which looks amazing but I can't do that. I have found a great fabricator for the granite. I have also found that granite isn't much more expensive then Engineered Stone so I would rather go for the real thing.

It depends on the look you're trying to achieve. For a contemporary and streamline look, I would select Dulux natural white for the kitchen cabinetry. Or, if you want the kitchen to stand out, I would suggest to choose a contrasting colour with the walls. A great way is to select your material and colours would be to take your stone and wall colour sample into a paint trade centre or hardware store where you can put them against possible options. Another way, is to have the stone, natural white paint colour in your hands, put them alongside the Jarrah floor and possible options. I'm not familiar with your style, existing furniture or personality so I'm taking a stab in the dark - but because your benchtop material looks like a cool grey, I would suggest to also choose a cool grey (like Dulux Sky Painting) for your cabinetry. Best of luck!

Hi. If this could be of any help, you can go on Caesarstone website and select the stone you have chosen from their list (Frosty Carrina) and check the page. On their website, they have lots of examples of kitchen/bathrooms etc. for each stone colour, usually at the bottom of the page. This may be inspiring.

Thank you, Nurali, for the photos. Have you decided upon which paint colour for your walls yet? I ask because that may have some bearing on kitchen cabinet colour. White is always a winner, but it's entirely up to you if you want a cooler colour or warmer. Your beautiful timber furniture is going to provide warmth to either colour scheme.

Do you plan to have the same U-shape design for your new kitchen, or will you reconfigure it? Will you do the work yourself or do you have someone to do the joinery? Are you replacing any appliances? Do you want an island bench? Do you have adequate storage or do you need more? Do you want granite, engineered stone or laminate benchtops? Do you want flat cabinets or a particular style? With handles or handleless?

Your kitchen is a good size but not huge so I would go with gloss white to match in with your lovely fridge. All white appliances. Light coloured bench top in the grey range.
Backsplash, I'd go to tile expo, choose something you love and add some colour behind the stove, the rest of the splashbacks behind the sink etc in white subway tiles.
Dark floors as you have chosen, all the walls in the house Dulux Whisper White.
This is a great colour to go with everything, i use it all the time in my designs.

With the splashback only add colour to the back wall behind and tile the side wall in white.
