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.

I would paint all the brick everywhere warm white...satin for occasional cleaning. That done I think everything else will look OK because the colours are natural. New doorknobs are always good. You could if you wanted paint all the bench and cupboards white or rich cream as well....MUCH more spacious effect. there is a product you put on first and wait and paint...Hardware will knw...something like PSo

I think non gloss given that the bottom cabinets look as if they have some shine. Just looking at the photo again, do they have any damage? If so it might be a good idea to replace the doors on these at the same time - if that happens you can even more options on colour scheme. Good luck I am sure either way you will love the refresh and extra storage.

Hi an68888 I think I understand your question. Any kitchen manufacturer that custom makes cabinetry near you will tint your Polyurethane to any colour your heart desires. In choosing this colour, you may like to start by going to your local paint store and picking up some colour charts from various different brands to get an idea of options available. With the tone of Bottega Oak (obviously without grain) perhaps look along the lines of the colour Anthracite. Hope this helps, Malcolm.
