I think the colour used on these cabinets is great. This is a colour which is unlikely to unsettle anyone who sees it and is teamed with very neutral walls and furnishings. This room looks modern, with a little retro or Scandinavian twist.I believe that if you really love a particular colour, why not use it as a colour block on cabinets. Just keep the main elements in the room neutral and the accent colours to a minimum, like the orange accent used here.

I'd pick the cupboard white first. Pick what you love. Then get the wall colour tinted to match the cupboards. Nothing worse than mismatched whites. Either match them or go a contrast on the wall.

Your kitchen is a good size but not huge so I would go with gloss white to match in with your lovely fridge. All white appliances. Light coloured bench top in the grey range. Backsplash, I'd go to tile expo, choose something you love and add some colour behind the stove, the rest of the splashbacks behind the sink etc in white subway tiles. Dark floors as you have chosen, all the walls in the house Dulux Whisper White. This is a great colour to go with everything, i use it all the time in my designs.

Thanks bigreader for your advise. Whites are SO HARD. I have done a test patch with the Casper white half and fear it is too grey/green and too modern. The rest of the house is more warm white tones and the floor boards are warm. Confusing as the laminex bench top has grey tones and the splashback is navy? Leaning now more towards Snowy Mountains Half or Natural White - but what about trims??? Really trying to avoid the yellowish/old look that warm whites can throw as half done the bedrooms trims and doors in Antique White and they look old/tired already after 3 years. thanks for your time
