I think the colour used on these cabinets is great. This is a colour which is unlikely to unsettle anyone who sees it and is teamed with very neutral walls and furnishings. This room looks modern, with a little retro or Scandinavian twist.I believe that if you really love a particular colour, why not use it as a colour block on cabinets. Just keep the main elements in the room neutral and the accent colours to a minimum, like the orange accent used here.

Im thinking white is too stark with the bench top material. exploring the pale grey palette seems a good choice to me. is there any suitability to do any colour blocking with grey and white… a different colour on either side? .. or would the space appear too busy or smaller than it is? What colour are the appliances? stainless steel? white? or are they going to be faced with the laminate and then be hidden? I still think white is not right with the floor and bench top. Too stark . I prefer grey to beige. Softer.

Yes. I think it sounds lovely.

i have not looked into the splashback pricing yet, as i am still stuck onto the colour fr the cabinets. we have to decide it tonight. I have been looking at warm whites, as suggested earlier in the thread. Antique white USA in 1/4 strength i think will go with the grey colored stone. I have read tht in full strength it throws cream tones. NOt sure if this colour scheme will work. i still have to decide the wall colours for the kitchen. We have finalised hog bristle1/4 for the living area with natural white for ceiling n trim.
