Luv yr ideas as I'm doing my kitchen exactly the same colours and same natural oak as a contrast except I have existing black granite bench tops ,so doing large drawers in a matt black!! Just getting quotes now! Have u had yrs done yet? I'd luv 2 c it!

A nice blue/black white always looks crisp. Take care to match splash tile white to white of doors or it won't look as good. Will look like You couldn't get a match. Everything looks great in a small sample but when you get large areas together you can see they don't match.

Hi Cathy, Yes, I think you would be fine to have matt black cupboards near your oven to help hide it a little. You will probably need to balance the black with having it elsewhere - maybe even your overhead cupboards, if it connects to the oven tower(?). Plans would make it easier to comment. I would tend to avoid bringing in another colour (such as blue), though you can use a marble tile or textured white tile as your splashback to reinforce the colour scheme. Good luck with the decisions - it's a very exciting time. I'm happy to have a look at your plans if you can upload them. Regards, Cathy (Bespoke Home Building)

Hello Webuser The kitchen in the photo looks really special. It all depends on the finished appearance you are after - this suggestion is for a 'natural' 'relaxed' look - Add green - a greyed, muted shade like Porters Amazon. Dulux Mangrove Leaf is good too, but maybe too strong - 1/4 strength?? Then you could add bursts of yellow and lots of indoor plants!! Lots of natural textures would complete - sisal rug, cane baskets - to MY taste!! Have fun with your new kitchen.
