From the photo your kitchen looks quite small I would consider changing the lower cabinets to your darker colour choice and keeping the upper cabinets white

I like what is there already . The other colour is dingy , depressing and boring .

Your benchtop reflects a lot of different hues that will pick up the darker lower cabinets only and works with your flooring. The following is an example of using a darker colour

Thanks siriuskey - it’s great to visualise it like that! I appreciate you doing this. I am not a massive fan of two tone kitchens hence why I was hoping to be able to find a colour that would work for the entire kitchen. I think white would be too much of a contrast with the black benchtop and the floor.

@bigreader - thanks for your feedback. That’s exactly what we did. A lot of swatches to try and see what would work with both the benchtop and floor. A lot of the dark charcoals that we liked and looked at throw too much blue and they seem to clash.

The overall look reminds me of a technical hospital lab -- the whole row of sharp edged cupboard doors ! The black dishwasher , and then the white appliances , look out of place .

And I'd like to see what the top part of the room looks like too , as that would influence things possibly too .

The upper cupboards look to have a pink hue too , I'm not sure if that is paint or just reflections of a sunset ?

And guess what -- it needs colour IMO !

So how about getting all colourful appliances -- a jug , toaster , cake mixer . All in citrus green or candy apple red . And possibly paint that panel that 'juts in a bit' up by the windows in the same colour . And change to a white dishwasher . And I actually think nice stained wooden doors would add warmth , maybe even just the 'higher' cupboards -- there is TOO much white .

So no two tone there -- you'd have at least 3 -- white , then timber , then your green or red or orange or yellow .

Namadji can be quite dark, next to the warm tone of your flooring. I suggest to go with a lighter shade of grey to keep the space looking fresh and crisp. Images for inspo.

I like your kitchen cabinets in white they look elegant and they never go out of fashion,you can always change some decor to put colour in your kitchen
