Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Apr 05, 2010 3:35 pm Hi, As the title says - I am seeking pictures of kitchens with dark cupboards and dark benchtops. Someone on here has a great charcoal kitchen with a charcoal benchtop - if you are reading this I would love to see more pics.. Yours is my favourite kitchen! Any others similar would be great to see for inspiration. Thanks Re: Seeking photos of dark kitchen cupboards with dark bench 3Apr 05, 2010 3:50 pm We have Zulu caesarstone benchtops, Fossil Laminex cupboards and Ash Grey glass splashback... The overhead cupboards will be black perspex. http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac165/aaron4erin/splashDSC_0609.jpg http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac165/aaron4erin/splashDSC_0605.jpg http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac165/aaron4erin/IMG_0679stoneupload.jpg Re: Seeking photos of dark kitchen cupboards with dark bench 4Apr 05, 2010 4:05 pm Kexkez - it may have been Mek I'm not sure. I will do a search .. Aaron & Erin - thanks very much, your selections are great and will look so good with the top cupboards in black. What colour floors will you be having? Re: Seeking photos of dark kitchen cupboards with dark bench 5Apr 05, 2010 4:09 pm we have plain black cupboards and a darkish granite bench top. but not greys or otherwise I'd add a pic. Michelle might remember who else went all dark when shes next on the board. Re: Seeking photos of dark kitchen cupboards with dark bench 6Apr 05, 2010 4:15 pm It is Meks kitchen that I love. Just realised I cant have it like that though because we are having a breakfast bar so no 15cm benchtop for me! Super stylish.. Love it.. Kexkez would still love to see your kitchen.. am just after ideas of how kitchens look in darker shades at this stage, will work out the specifics when we actually go to selections. I love the look of dark cupboards with a white benchtop too but it is just not practical for us unfortunately.

Walls were not painted at that stage. Still aren't in most of the kitchen . Those photos were taken in about the 1st week we were in the house. The granite usually looks a bit darker than this but the photo's were taken under 3 downlights and 2 normal globe lights. We are planning to paint using wattyl colour Igloo.

Is that a laminate benchtop? I like! Do you have more pics? Some are a bit dark. Thanks Michelle Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32574 Re: Seeking photos of dark kitchen cupboards with dark bench 13Apr 08, 2010 2:19 pm Thanks . A 15cm benchtop shouldn't stop you from having a breakfast bar, apart from the fact that once you put bar chairs under it, it might be too low maybe? Are you thinking of going for a laminate benchtop? Dark colours mark something shocking . Re: Seeking photos of dark kitchen cupboards with dark bench 14Apr 08, 2010 3:49 pm Beautiful kitchen Southies! I love the way the rangehood is in line with the other cupboards, I think that looks really schmick! Mek - I think the thick benchtop would look weird with a breakfast bar, and our breakfast bar is very long too so even more so. We will be getting laminate benchtops as our budget wont stretch the extra $6k for essa stone (unfortunately). I have thought a lot about light vs dark kitchens, and I have read that dark laminate does mark easily - I guess my main concern is my toddlers armed with textas and pens.. I don't want to be freaking out every time they decide to draw and I don't want to deter them from using the breakfast bar as a table if they want to do so. If I didn't love the look of a dark kitchen I wouldn't even think twice and would just get a white one, as I know it would be unlikely to stain - but I also think they look incredibly sleek and stylish as well. Given an opportunity to re-think your choices, having lived with your kitchen as it is Mek, would you have chosen differently?

Do you have more pics? Some are a bit dark. Thanks Michelle Michelle, the colours are : *top c/boards -Laminex Nocturne Oak *benchtop - Laminex Mocha Feldspar - was going to change it to a stone top after handover but would rather now spend the $$$ on something else *floor c/boards - Laminex Moleskin I'll be away over the w/end but will try to take some pics nxt week, if you can wait Thanks Lee75, was hoping to get it to look a little different ot the current trends. Very happy with the result Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Seeking photos of dark kitchen cupboards with dark bench 16Apr 09, 2010 8:38 am Lee75 Given an opportunity to re-think your choices, having lived with your kitchen as it is Mek, would you have chosen differently? Well if I had stacks of money , I'd get this (which was my inspiration for the kitchen): Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ but as things are, apart from minor things, I wouldn't change my kitchen. I really love charocal. Re: Seeking photos of dark kitchen cupboards with dark bench 17Apr 27, 2010 11:08 am Michelle, I promised you brighter pics. Are these any better ? I took them with the blinds down, as I'm just on my way out. If they're not bright enough, I can take pics with the blinds up. The colours look a little washed out.
