I so agree with Alphen Construction - on first glance, it is definitely the handles that are drawing the eye to changes in height. I would definitely try Alphen Constructions' suggestion re 'blocking out the handles with tape' to see how you like the effect. Take a photo when you do it, you can then compare. I think I would remove the handle from the cupboard over the fridge and the cupboard over the stove. I wonder if a steel extractor fan that would take that cupboard to the same level as the other cupboards might be an effective trick, it would also tie in the steel of the fridge, oven and appliances. Under cabinet lighting is needed in my opinion. I do hope you will be able to enjoy your kitchen because it is lovely. I wish you all the best.

Lexicon is a cool grey. Great offset to warm timber floor if u want that look. You really need to put a full mood board with flooring wall bench and cabinets and furniture. It is a personial choice.

You could also pick your cupboards and then have the white paint colour matched if you want another choice. You need to consider the colour as part of your whole house colour scheme. There is a poster on here who is building a lovely house but is struggling towards the end because their selections aren’t quite as cohesive as they would have liked.
