We have dulux whisper white cabinetry and it is lovely soft/warm but I made mistake of using non-tinted ceiling paint and even with bulkhead divide it looks too stark white (or makes cabinetry look too creamy). Since I can't change the cabinetry, I think I will eventually go over ceiling with 1/4 tint whisper white.

okay!!! A lot of these commenters obviously thought what I did - that the cupboards are a deep browney grey!! I think the responses would have been very different if we knew the cupboards were white. If you re-read thru the responses you will see that. Perhaps try re-posting the dilemma with a better pic. One of those original tiles may actually look ok.

Your kitchen, do what you love. The style police won't be raiding and deducting points. But before you do make a decision make sure you check out the beautiful range of knobs and handles at Hepburn Hardware. https://hepburnhardware.com/ They are pricier than Bunnings, but you get what you pay for when it comes to cabinetwork hardware. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls and Dr Retro Virtual Visits.

Have you finalised your selections? If you haven’t I’d pause them until you finalise the splashback decision. I can only see the bench top on the screen but it doesn’t look as though it would work with cream - have you seen the two materials together?
