what combination of black/white/timber should i choose for my kitchen?
Hello everyone. We plan to renovate our kitchen and I would love to get some ideas about the cabinet and benchtop colors. I got help to design the layout in a different post. Here is the layout we want to go with. We like black, white with a touch of accent timber. I read that black is hard to maintain and and shows the scratches more than white does but our floor boards are light and walls are painted in antique white so i need to add more contrast. Please share with me your ideas about colors you feel would work the best for this kitchen.

Timber or white shelves for my new kitchen?
Comments (14)I would have your bench top supplier cut a thin batten of timber in the same 40mm thickness, and fix this as a front to a white melamine shelf. For a couple of reasons. Melamine is easiest to keep clean, whereas a varnish or oiled timber will require constant maintenance and resealing if it is used often, it will discolour and even with the sealant it does not like moisture, being natural, all timbers expand and contract in temp changes. Melamine is stable, and won't be seen from the viewpoint, and the timber front will make it look more substantial. Secondly, this thickness will be necessary to avoid shelf deflection, where lengths over 900mm will commonly sag under weight. Reinforcing your shelf with timber battens will avoid this, and the timber edge strip again hides it. If all this seems a little too hard, just invest in solid timber shelves of around 40mm, but have the tops laminated....See MoreWhich white should we choose?
Comments (83)Hi HU-648755060 A couple of questions for you. Do you have any floorplans or other details as well? A lot of people say Hampton's Style but that in itself can vary greatly between people. What you have picked out so far all sounds pretty good. I would look at a darker stain, like an espresso for the flooring. The darker automatically adds a feeling of understated luxe. I assume you are doing larger architraves, crown mouldings and skirts and these are painted white? Are you doing a grey grout on the splashback? For a more modern/industrial twist, look for a concrete finish to your kitchen benches. Remember that the concrete looks can be rather patterned so look at full slab pictures before choosing. If you go down this path I would keep all of them the same, vanities, laundry benchtops and kitchen benchtops. Otherwise you could look at a dramatic marble look such as Smartsone Blanco Molassa for the island and then a pared back white, for the other benchtops throughout the house. I hope this helps....See MoreWhat colour of white should I paint my internal rendered walls?

last monthThe shelves on the side of the island are nice. I am looking for an alternative to stone waterfalls on the sides of island. This is another idea. Continuing the flooring to cover the sides of island.

11 days agoI made few designs using the kaboodle. I cannot completely implement what i have in mind using the tool. I thought using black colour for top cabinets, island cabinets in black and the bottom L cabinets in white. Then the rangehood cover a combination of black and timber matching the open shelve also the island back panel a combination of black and timber with calcatta stone. And the backsplash I cannot decide if to have it in black or white
