Thoughts on this coloured pine matching this kitchen?

2 years ago

First picture is what the previous owners were using.
Second picture is what I’m thinking of vying.
Third and fourth pictures are the colours of the kitchen (blackish brown wood vinyl cupboards)

Do you think the cabinet in the second picture would look okay? Or should I wait and find something more neutral / white.

I would wait until the kitchen cabinet smell issue is resolved before spending any money on a new buffet and hutch. Spend the money on getting the kitchen fixed first. Just get a cheap cabinet from Bunnings or other outlet in the interim.

I like the dresser in the second picture. It's much nicer than the orange-y pine the previous owners had.

I would choose something that blends into the colours of the room, i assume the backside of kitchen peninsula is white, therefore a two toned buffet similar to this one. It depends on what other furnishings and wooden pieces you already have. But I would keep it in the same tones as the laminate cupboards and light bench tops.

I think it is good to mix up the warm and cool colours. We have warm furniture too so its just the walls that are cool. I even have a beige/stone coloured curtain next to the grey wall and it looks so nice. Because this is an open plan room do you think those type of tiles will be too busy? I always go for plain things but i can see how something like that would look really good! This is one big room with lounge, dining, kitchen and french doors that open to a massive decking. I will post a pic of the whole thing when the final benchtop and tiles go on

Dear me!! I didn't want this to turn into a name calling discussion. I don't mind reading people's opinions, I quiet enjoy reading different peoples likes/dislikes. We all have different tastes and we are not ALL going to like the same things, obviously! All I wanted to know, was if the colour of the cupboards matched the colour of the benchtops...that's it! Didn't want anyone to turn nasty about it :( Anyways...hope you all have a great weekend :)

Hi, just thought id update everyone on the outcome of the paint. Went to Inspirations Paint (they are a Dulux specialist and matched it exactly) but got it home and same result - paint was completely different colour on the wall, way too brown-yellow and much darker in colour. Perfect when painted onto a piece of primed timber but completely changed when it went on the wall. In desperation I decided to start again and bought other sample pots but all with the same problem - if it was a beige tint it turned out deep mud colour on the wall and if it was a grey colour it threw purple on the wall. Both the hardware and Inspirations Paint feel it was a faulty batch of sealer that was affecting the paint colour. We had already used 30 litres (bougth both 15lt from the same place at the same time) so it was too late to re-seal again and so we purchased a couple of sample pots from white/neutal swatches and finally found one that was similar to our desired paint colour when applied to the faulty sealer. So... in the end it seems the primer/sealer we used on the new gyprock was the problem, and what a headache! But thank you all for your help

Basically , black and white is lazy , and has been done to death . Of your two inspirational pics , I'd go for the brown one any day , even though IMO the doors look too cheap and plasticy , but it has more colour and character , the stone is way more interesting -- in a good way -- and I think not only will it make a better impression now , but also in 20 years time . If you can get the doors to look like they have a few percent of wood in them haha , not just a plastic and adhesive and sawdust mix , it would be even better ! Similarly , that folded perspex on that hood looks tacky too , and personally if considering it , I'd go glass or ( preferably in that colour combo ) copper , with lights to tie in -- maybe just me , but why spend $20k or $30k , and then save $2k and look tacky ?

Maybe something along these lines. Keeping away from the orange tones of oak.

Have you considered the whole room including the dining and lounge areas? What furniture do you have planned there?

The traditional dresser and the modern kitchen clash in both colour and style... if you are fixed on a traditional dresser go with a colour that harmonizes with the overall space.. eg Dreamers suggestion

You're putting it in a different area there is no need for it to match with your kitchen cabinetry. In fact I'd defy anyone to find a hutch in a dining area which matches the kitchen cabinetry.
The more important thing is what other furniture you are going to place in that area. It's more important to coordinate (not match) with this than your kitchen.

It’s a fairly modern looking kitchen, I would go wth a more modern look for your unit, but as others suggested it needs to go with the rest of your furniture

Thank you :)
I’m needing it to store pots and pans etc in as we can’t put any in the cupboards in the kitchen. This is as there is an awful smell in them that were unable to remove after trying everything we possibly can.

The rest of hour home has modern white gloss furniture. We just bought it which is why we are still figuring all this out.

If there is a horrible smell in your cupboards then maybe they need to be pulled out from walls and assess what the problem is. It could be a damp problem or it could be a vermin problem. I would do this as a priority. If mould is sitting between the cabinet carcasses and the walls, then this is a health issue. Hope you get some professional help to find the answer to your problem.
