Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jun 09, 2011 12:13 am Hi, We have chosen night sky CS benchtop, wood grain laminate for island underbench, lower cupboard and microwave tower. THe color is Formica Cherry http://www.formica.com.au/colour-range. ... #swatch-47 The actual color of cherry laminate is a bit redder than the link above. Our kitchen layout is similar to what is in the below image: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/85 ... hite1.jpg/ I can not decide on: 1. upper cupboard color, should it be the same the rest, wood grain Cherry ( I am afraid the wood feature is too heavy in the room), or something a bit plainer, like white? 2. glass splashback color - am thinking smoke blue, or tranquil, or antartica, does it go well with Please help... Thanks Re: help with kitchen color-dark benchtop and wood grain cab 3Jun 09, 2011 9:26 am jmcbd Sorry about the typo in the subject. It should read "wood grain cabinet" I fixed it for you and I will move this to the kitchen thread if that's ok, you may get more response Re: help with kitchen color-dark benchtop and wood grain cab 5Jun 09, 2011 9:40 am I love that look but I don't think I would put white overhead cupboards. What about black glass overheads. You could probably do a nice colour splashback between the black then. Re: help with kitchen color-dark benchtop and wood grain cab 6Jun 09, 2011 10:35 am Thanks Suh. You make the message looks more structured. I am not keen with the white overhead cupboard either. With budget constraint, we don't want to upgrade to glass cupboard (perhaps I will ask for a price first). What do you think about a solid darker color,what would be good? What color splash back will you suggest? I do want some color, but don't have a good color sense. thanks Re: help with kitchen color-dark benchtop and wood grain cab 7Jun 09, 2011 10:45 am There very similar colours that we went for.. Here is a another example..

I think you could easily do the same coloured cupboard up top or you could do something in the same tones as the Cherry but a little lighter. If you stick with the Cherry you probably won't be so limited with splashback colours.

I had a quick look and the dark overheads looked good I think! Especially with splashback- antartica (if it's the same colour one you had in mind) or similar light one Also very nice with the cherry type wood grain, but not sure of what splash looks best with that Anyway, worth a play if you haven't already. If it makes you more confused, it wasn't my idea Good luck!
