Our apartment is perfect for my partner and I as we love monochrome, soft colours and grey! The owners before us loved the red and black combo so added a HUGE red glass panel stuck onto the black caesarstone splashback as a feature. They did something similar in the bathroom over marble (gasp!) and in the study they replaced the inbuilt black wooden desk with red wood laminate. As it is super expensive to replace marble and caeserstone it is something we can't do right now and have to live with it. I tend to block it out of my mind... It's horrid.

Thanks for the comments. I don't mind making the cupboards higher but I am unsure what would look good. Should they be 1m, 1.2m? That will result in a smaller bulk head but the cupboards may look disproportionate compared to the base cupboards under the bench top. I have been looking for photos where the overhead cupboards are very tall but haven't found any.

Hi, thank you so much! The green is Aqua Queen, the white is Ornamental Pearl (both by Taubmans) and the grey is Mineral Salt by British Paints. If you take a look at the whole project on my page there is a ton of information.

What happened to that beautiful timber floor! Its a nice kitchen but I can't see any 'traditional charm'. It just seems to be a well built modern kitchen you could find in any modern home. It doesn't relate back to the old church. Only my opinion of course.
