Did I go ok? Post-color nerves...

Page 1 of 1
We had our color appointment on Friday and now I'm stressing about my choices. This kitchen stuff is hard!

Just wondering if anyone has similar colors that I could see to help ease my nerves?

This is what I picked:
* Overhead cabinets - polar white (gloss)
* Base cabinets/kickboards - zincworks (natural finish)
* Island/bench caesarstone - raven
* Splashback - dulux raku (star fire glass)



Our kitchen has no direct windows but there will be a fair amount of light coming through the living/dining areas.

I am no good with colours, but have you played with envisage? I find it easier to visualise that way -

Oh thanks!! I havent seen that before.

So here is (kind of) how my kitchen would look:


And while I'm at it, my bathroom:


Living room:


Aaaaaand exterior:


I think it all looks really great. Only suggestion is maybe a bit of render on the facade to break up the brick?
Yeah we'll be rendering later on, can get a family member to do it much much much cheaper than the builders!

It's really only the splashback I'm worried about.
I don't know if I should do a lighter grey, maybe silkwort? Like this:
Personal taste really but I think I still prefer the dark splashback. Would be harder to keep clean though!
looks great! I think the silkwort is probably too light, is there one in between the two?

I think I can help......

Our overheads - polar white
Our base cabinets/kickboards - zincworks (natural, we used zinc riven finish in the laundry)
Island/bench - Smartstone Pierre Bleu (black)

TinaG I'm sure there is, I'll just have to look into it
I love the idea of the black splashback
don't be afraid!
to give you more ideas
i have zincworks gloss with new basmati for the top and went for a red splashback

i also have a feature wall in leadman grey near the kitchen
Thanks guys! I double checked at Tender and decided to stil with the dark Raku
Colours are such a personal thing & I think personality has a lot to do with it. Your colours look great & its very neutral so anything will go
