Both are great but I like the Ivory colour better! I understand your worry about it looking too clinical but not if your splashback colour is darker. The darker splashback will give your kitchen a beautiful contrast and pop of colour, especially with your current flooring.

I'm swaying towards the Ivory as it's better suited to the flooring.

Go with your gut Karly!

I agree! The ivory bench top paired with the gloss white kitchen cupboards would look open and timeless. Plus, the timber flooring will add warmth and detract from any sense of a clinical vibe. Good luck!

I prefer the linen! The ivory comes across as very yellow but that might just be my screen?

Our last kitchen wwS done with gloss white cupboards, 30x60 white tile splash back, Kempas floor and a bench top similar to ivory. It looked great as it broke up the white cupboards as there were a lot of them. I had a lot of drawers so used the large tiles as a splash back to mimic the draw shape. It was also a lot cheaper than glass. We were selling the house so wanted to stick to a budget. Here's a link to our kitchen https://m.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-moss+vale-119520691

Linen, we have a similar floor and gloss white cabinets too

Hi Karly. I prefer the Linen. Ivory is lovely also but I would want more of a dramatic contrast to the white cabinets. Your floor is beautiful. Whatever you truly want is all that matters, and it won't be a wrong decision. It's no good having regrets, so choose for yourself & trust in that.

A vote for the linen.

it is definitely better to have a contrast rather than poor match.

its sooo hard to choose bench tops... I like the ivory BUT it does look a little yellow to me too, so id probably prefer the linen, I wouldn't be to worried about the place looking clinical if you do go the ivory though

All I can say is are you seriously replacing the kitchen displayed above. That looks like such a lovely kitchen. I would go White or as close to the cupboard doors to give a sleek modern feel.... but personally I would consider why you are replacing your kitchen because I think it looks lovely.

Definitely the Linen for me. The Ivory is too yellow and I think the Linen is very classy with the white cupboards.

Hi Karly,

We're loving what you have chosen so far!
Although, we all have different tastes and styles - we are leaning towards Linen on this one.

With those stunning rich Kempa floors, a warm neutral colour like Linen would work best. Contrasting white cabinetry - looks like you're onto a winner!

Best,

Thank you everyone for the comments :) I think either way we can't go wrong, but we were lucky enough to see a friends new kitchen who had the linen kitchen & although it's lovely, we thought it too dark for our kitchen! So ivory it is!!! Fingers crossed :)

Definitely Linen- its still a neutral but has more of a modern/industrial chic look compared to the Ivory. It will refresh the kitchen without it looking so stark!
