Have you been to visit some kitchen showrooms? You can customise the photo search here on Houzz quite a bit. For example, you can simply select [dark wood[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/kitchen-design-ideas-with-dark-wood-cabinets-phbr1-bp~t_10444~a_17-103) cabinet finish in the filter options. Then add more filters like floor colour, kitchen layout, cabinet style, wall colour etc if you wish. Leave the benchtop and splashback options open and see what results you get. You can then save any photos that appeal to your ideabook.

Miss Lucy, we are looking at SM / SMH. Flooring will be a warm oak (not too warm) and furnishings tbc but probably a soft grey. How do you find the paint works in your house. What sort of colour scheme re kitchen Cabinets, benchtop, furnishing fixtures etc . ... Id rather have the other work done and then decide on colour but need to get colour to cabinet maker ASAP ... sigh Who knew so many whites. Kitchen is north facing . Living and Master south facing so just makes things harder!

I would vote for the top example here. Itr gives an earthy tone to the room and yet is still bright and wont show every piece of dust or food.

The front of your home looks like homes in Las Vegas, Nevada. Are you more interested in a bathroom along these aesthetics? In Australia the bathroom you have shown would be a very common look. If you are staying in the home for a length of time, and your budget meets your wishes. Then change it to whatever you would feel more comfortable with.
