Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 May 02, 2010 6:18 pm We are planning to do our kitchen in light colours but are having difficulty deciding on what laminate colours to choose. Would prefer it to be warm rather than cool white colours. Our floors will be timber laminate (lightish). Thinking of light cream cupboards with a slightly darker benchtop. We're not keen on diamond gloss because of the scratch and streak factors. Would love some suggestions or photos of which brands and specific colours to use. Thanks Re: Please help with light cupboards and benchtops (laminate 3May 04, 2010 11:18 pm Hi Tall6 In our kitchen we have done gloss white cupboards (with slight metallic in them so they aren't so cold looking) and benchtop in laminex limestone. Its only gone in today so I haven't been to see it (dying to!) I have to drive an 1 1/2 hours to our house, so won't get to see it until later in week or weekend! I'm hoping it will look fine! I'll post a photo once I get one! We have done white valencia in laundry - cool looking, but very nice. Kids bathroom we have gone gloss, in catana marble. Our ensuite lunar stone. Re: Please help with light cupboards and benchtops (laminate 4May 16, 2010 5:19 pm Thanks for the ideas. Most of those colours have been on my shortlist too. Would love to see your photos. At the moment I'm leaning towards polytech iluka sand for the benchtops with laminex parchment or crea ultra white (gloss) for the cupboards. I keep changing my mind though. Have never been good at making decisions! Would love some ideas on splashbacks and paint colours too. Re: Please help with light cupboards and benchtops (laminate 5May 16, 2010 10:10 pm We're thinking of Laminex New Antique White cupboards and Limestone benchtop. We don't have the extra dollars for stone bench tops and I'd rather spend money on the mechanics like pot and dishes drawers. I do wish in kitchen magazines they'd do a special on laminate benchtops. They only seem to show C/stone or granite etc. Handover February 2011 Happy with our home Re: Please help with light cupboards and benchtops (laminate 6May 16, 2010 10:13 pm Better homes & Gardens always has laminate when they do their kitchen specials and I think that Real Living also did one recently Deemaree Kyndylan Capers: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=46852 My blog: http://www.sufficientlysufficient.blogspot.com/ Re: Please help with light cupboards and benchtops (laminate 7May 16, 2010 10:16 pm Thanks Dee, I usually by the big kitchen compendiums and not a laminate benchtop in sight.
