Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jun 16, 2010 2:04 pm We are just finalising our selections and I am in love with everything we have picked, but I am unsure of the colour for our kitchen cabinets Our colours throughout the house are mainly grey and white. We are having quite a dark grey floor tile, we are having white splash backs with a dark grey/black feature tile, our walls are going to be painted Pebble Grey (or a similiar shade) with white trims and our bench tops are quite a dark grey/black swirl colour. At this stage we have picked white for our cabinets, but I am really unsure of this colour choice. I don't want to change any of our other colour selections. Has anyone else got a similiar colour scheme in their kitchen and if so could they share photos? or What other colours could we look at for our cabinets? Painting finished, time to tile! HANDOVER - THURSDAY 3RD MARCH 2011 Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 2Jun 16, 2010 2:11 pm sorry i dont have anything similar to show you, but what you've described sounds really nice IMO! I can't think of anything that would suit the rest of your colours better than white. match the trims, bring some lightness to the kitchen, contrast with the benches... is the splashback going to be on starfire glass? to get rid of the green tinge, I would...

Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 3Jun 16, 2010 3:56 pm I agree with donuts. The colours sound great and white or parchment would be a good contrast to bench and splashback and... you'll never get sick of it (hopefully) Handover February 2011 Happy with our home Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 4Jun 16, 2010 3:59 pm Our splashbacks are going to be large white wall tiles. I don't know too much about them except that the height of the tile run from the top of the bench to under the cupboard (if that make sense) so there is no grout lines except between the tiles (which is where we are having our line of feature tiles). I have seen them layed in the display home for our builder with a dark benchtop and they did not seem to have a green colour to them they just looked really clean and uncluttered. Painting finished, time to tile! HANDOVER - THURSDAY 3RD MARCH 2011 Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 5Jun 17, 2010 4:46 pm I don't have pics as mine still hasn't been done, but I have chosen a very similar scheme for my kitchen. We have a charcoal coloured floor tile, night sky stone bench, gloss white cupboards, white wall tiles with a stone black feature tile and grey comfort wall paint colour from taubmans. I'm hoping it's all going to come together nice!!! Lisa- Finally in our house!!! Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 6Jun 18, 2010 1:17 pm lj3376 your colour scheme does sound really close to what we are having, cannot wait to see how your kitchen looks Painting finished, time to tile! HANDOVER - THURSDAY 3RD MARCH 2011 Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 7Jul 13, 2010 2:35 pm Rebecca 1983 & lj3376 you both sound like you are going with VERY similiar colour choices as me. Have your houses started? Id love to see some pics Cass & Dec Santorini 28 - M3tric0n H0mes Springfield Lakes, Brisbane, Qld Blog: http://ournewhomebuild.blogspot.com/ Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 8Jul 13, 2010 4:14 pm Hi My kitchen cabinets were supposed to go in last week, but something got delayed so hopefully (fingers crossed) they will go in maybe this week. Will def post some pics as soon as I can. I've had to change my floor tile too because the ones we chose, which were a charcoal colour are not going to be available until early september and the builder has requested delivery on July 30th. The ones I have chosen now are a gloss black with white running through them- they look more marble. Lisa- Finally in our house!!! Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 9Jul 14, 2010 10:35 am Here is a pic of my color selections http://i731.photobucket.com/albums/ww316/lj3376/th_IMG_0433.jpg On my way to work this morning, I noticed the cabinet maker was at my house!!! Lisa- Finally in our house!!! Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 10Jul 14, 2010 10:47 am Rebecca, I too think White cupboards would be great,an alternative to think about would be a lightish grey.

We have been looking at colors, our house will not start being built until December or Jan as our land settles in November. I have chosen mainly greys, whites and maybe a little bit of chocolate colored woodgrain. White always looks good, classy and will never date, I love grey. Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 12Jul 14, 2010 10:58 pm What about formica Rock Salt? It is an off white with a grey tinge. I have it for kitchen overheads and laundry overheads and I wish I'd used it more. Visually it has a slight texture to it, but feels smooth and has a hint of grey. It is a little more forgiving with marks than white, but is still really light and would contrast really well with your dark selections. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 13Jul 20, 2010 6:04 pm Hi Joles! We have chosen Rock Salt for all of our kitchen cupboards with a white (Laminex Natural Quartz Squareform) for the benchtop and i would really really really appreciate a photo of your rock salt cupboards as it doesn't seem to be too popular on here!! I am struggling to find any good photos of it and would soooooo appreciate you posting a photo of them?!! Only if you can! Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 14Jul 20, 2010 7:36 pm bobbaloochi, here is the Rock Salt in the kitchen. Only the overheads are Rock Salt, the rest is Stipple Hemp. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u353/joles_photo/2010-07-15_09-28-59_150720101529.jpg And the overheads in the laundry before we moved in. Sorry the pic isn't very good, but there is crapola all over the laundry at the moment so couldn't take a new one. Let me know if you need any more. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 15Jul 21, 2010 12:25 pm Thank you Joles! That's fantastic! I was worried it was going to look too dark or woodgrainy so i am really happy to see it's quite light which is what i had hoped! Thank you soo much for that! Love your kitchen by the way - TWO OVENS!! Awesome and love the glass splashback. Looks lovely! Thanks again for the photos - much appreciated.

Oh i just love the colours that you have chosen in your kitchen.. Im especially in love with your splashback.. Would it be rude of me to ask you what colour and type of glass you used? Its just so tasteful and elegant.. Absolutely beautiful! Re: Help with kitchen cabinet colour 19Sep 22, 2010 4:42 pm Oh I only just rediscovered this thread. Sorry to debinsydney and kaz101 for taking so long to reply. My splashback is Dulux Army Issue on standard glass (with the tinge), not on starfire (the completely clear one).
