Looks like this is a duplicate post.

had thought white but am worried it might be too stark i have a black glass door fridge not sure whether to go black and maybe a light shade of green for majority of cabinets with a black bench top

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.

I am coming in very late to this discussion. But is there enough room in your space to move the furniture like this? I have moved your wooden coffee table where the couch is, and moved the cabinet so it is not the first thing you see as you enter. Moving the grey side tables to form one “modular” table creates a uniform look that doesn’t sacrifice functionality. The marble side table would then be used next to the other couch (as the cabinet is where it used to be) I would also take up the whole space between the aircon and the floor to hang your ‘family’ picture frames. The gorgeous plant is then placed on top of the coffee table to become the hero in the space. I noticed you used a grey soft looking throw blanket on the couch to the right. Is it possible to get matching versions of this to cover the sofa against the wall for the dogs? The texture and colour of the sheets you are currently using is what disconnects your lovely couch from the rest of the space. Regardless of what artworks you choose to use for above the couch, having a darker frame will help to ground them in the space. The white frames are getting lost against the white brick wall at the moment. You have great taste in furniture, it seems to be editing the layout of the space that is not quite working in your zone. Hope this helps!
