Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Please help what colours to choose in our kitchen!!!!! 9Feb 19, 2015 6:08 pm Yes, what colour are your walls? New Cairo is an off white or cream based bench top so be careful what whites you use with it. In my opinion the brushwood is a bit too busy and will draw attention away from the bench - which mostly you want as the centrepiece. Charred oak is a warm tone and needs warm colours around it. It appears to be a browner tone of you prefer this, and it goes with both tiles. Brushed nickel is a cooler colour, and thus it needs to be matched with cooler colours. It is appears to be a grey tone, and I reckon it works better with the cooler tile (the one on the right) Consider your lighting too. Warm white vs cool white. Good luck, hope that helps a little Re: Please help what colours to choose in our kitchen!!!!! 10Feb 19, 2015 6:50 pm Charlston01 Yes, what colour are your walls?

In my opinion the brushwood is a bit too busy and will draw attention away from the bench - which mostly you want as the centrepiece. I agree with Charlston01, the New Cairo is competing with the brushwood, too much pattern. And I am another for the liquorice linea (or the nickel with mist if you want a cooler scheme) as it is a subtler finish. I also love new sable luxe as a benchtop but with warm white cabs and cream tile... Re: Please help what colours to choose in our kitchen!!!!! 11Feb 19, 2015 7:09 pm I would still like to know the wall colour before I make a comment.

Re: Please help what colours to choose in our kitchen!!!!! 15Feb 19, 2015 7:44 pm Treeseachanger I really like the contrast! So you like the brushwood? Building the Sheffield 25 + 2 sq Re: Please help what colours to choose in our kitchen!!!!! 16Feb 19, 2015 7:48 pm No imo the brushwood is too busy. I meant I like the contrast btw dark and light. Are the new links brushwood or burnished wood?? The pattern seemed more pronounced in the pics you posted earlier.... Re: Please help what colours to choose in our kitchen!!!!! 17Feb 19, 2015 7:59 pm Hi There The new pics posted are burnished wood on a cream tile and a mist tile. Originally we liked the timber look with lines but we are now feeling its a bit 80's styling and may just be a fad and date really quick like it did in the mid 90's no way we want a old kitchen in 10 yrs that people are going to look at and go yuk thats so mid 2015. Im now thinking a bit more solid colour with less lines/grain may be a better option. Its so hard picking every example looks different it really depends on the camera distance and lighting hard to guage a true indication. Building the Sheffield 25 + 2 sq Re: Please help what colours to choose in our kitchen!!!!! 18Feb 19, 2015 9:18 pm Yep, for sure, and computer colours aren't "true." I think you have to try to strike a balance between what you really like and the "trend". To me this means if you are brave, just go with what you love. If you aren't, and thinking of resale down the track, be subtle. (Paint can be changed pretty inexpensively, but fixtures and flooring can't.)
