Hi thank you for your feedback. I am considering the Gerflor Fishermans Ocean or Fishermans Wash for the vinyl flooring. What do You think of these? the Fishermans Ocean has blue in it and some darker greys. I am having 3 rows of glass mosaic tiles as an insert in the white tile splash back which are greys, white and aqua blue. The fishermans wash vinyl is more pale greys. http://www.gerflor.com.au/products/end-users/floors/primetex.html http://www.gerflor.com/products/residential/floor/primetex-2mm.html

If your painting the cupboards, I would paint them in Dulux Whisper white. The bench tops I would get granite transformations in and choose the lightest grey from your slate. Backsplash I would also keep light, maybe a light grey or soft khaki subway tile. There is no need to add something to bring the dark colour from the floor, plenty of white kitchens with dark floors. I have used granite transformations before, they basically come in and built a nice crisp stone bench top, squaring of the edges etc...too easy. With regards to cupboards, I would stay away from creamy whites . If your painting the cupboards, that involves a lot of prep work and undercoating. Buy sample pots, paint on large pieces of cardboard, then when your happy with the colour just get the undercoat tinted in the colour you like...then if you still think it needs changing it’s easy. Also I would paint in satin, not gloss.

The laminate range is lovely. I think the white varnished oak would look stunning, it is neutral and will tone down the yellow oak colour in the cabinets whilst the slightly darker timber shade within the floor will work well with the black bench. This colour flooring will modernise the space. The other colour I was toying with was natural varnished oak however this has a yellow / honey undertone and I think it would enhance the yellow in the cabinets therefore steer away from a yellow base. Always happy to help if you need further design assistance.
