Hi all,
New to the forum and looking forward to contributing over the next year or so as we build our family home. We have a colour appointment coming up and the wife and I are not sure which way to go with our kitchen cabinetry colours. The colours used in the house will be mainly neutrals to beige and we are tossing up between parchment and polar white for our kitchen cabinetry (we also considered antique white) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Osprey top with Wenge cupboards in my bathroom, they look great together. If I were you I would go the Polar White cabinets. With your floors and walls I think a crisp white would be better than beige. Look forward to watching your build  29 Oct 2010 393 NSW Gold Member Re: Help needed with kitchen colours - Michelle 3Aug 16, 2011 12:56 pm I think parchment would look great and goes well with beiges 15 Aug 2011 3 VIC New Poster Re: Help needed with kitchen colours - Michelle 4Aug 16, 2011 2:47 pm thanks for the advice, I suppose both would work and whilst parchment would be a bit warmer, we are leaning more towards polar white for a bit more contrast with the flooring providing the warmth I would suggest losing the U layout, and extending your kitchen out into the meals area. This will give you much bigger living and cooking spaces. Your dining table… 6 1407 You have paid for a new kitchen, not a touched up one. Ask them to re do the damaged panels and correct their poor workmanship. This should not be too hard for them. 28 6895 Try an electrical shop like AWM or Middy’s, Exel etc if you are looking for globes 1 1744 |
