Help with shade of white for kitchen splashback
Comments (1)Because glass is inherently blue/green/grey depending what it was made of (a bit like water) it has to be tinged with colour. They say that to have sparkles in the paint works, but I would hate that. Just think about the other colours in your kitchen - floor, appliances, handles etc. and see which accent works best with those items. Most kitchen Showrooms have samples of glass splashbacks, so probably go to Willoughby where there are numerous Showrooms to check them out would be advisable....See MoreOff-white cabinets and white benchtop gone wrong.
Comments (33)Exactly the same tones as mine except i lifted it with a stainless steel col glass splashback and s/steel handles. I can change my accessories to suit the season even . clean and lovely as dark col bench tops look cluttered to me.Infact last week we even replaced the two downlights with 2 smoked glass pendents over the sink ( like yours) and they look great. Glad you are happier with your chosen result....See MoreHelp! What colour cabinets go with black granite benchtops? Not white!
Comments (13)Don't go with white. While it is easy to replace door fronts and drawer fronts you won't be able to replace the tall vertical panels adjacent to the fridge recess and the microwave recess without pulling out half of your cabinetwork. If you went with a white you wouldn't be able to match the same white as these vertical panels, and the new white would look off next to the old white or vice versa! I'm afraid there is no easy solution that will make the new doors blend in with the old vertical panels, so I would go with a bold contrast colour block that looks good with the white vertical panels, as well as the black granite. Perhaps consider a Piet Mondrian inspired kitchen facelift, by introducing some black edging to the vertical cabinets and a careful composition of blocks of primary colours?

Comments (28)Before choosing any surface, do the finger test, unless you are house clean slave. The finger test is see what marks show with a slightly greasy(hand lotion) fingers. Most blacks show finger marks big time. Same with counter tops. Best test is scatter with bread crumbs, if that disturbs you forget it, otherwise you will be kitchen cleaning all day. The same goes for concealed handles, they quickly get full of crusted much and chip easy. A working kitchen needs to be practical, easy to clean and totally family proof....See Morelexie_mc_18
