The cupboards and overheads etc will be a porcelain white but I wanted something darker for the area where your feet go if you were sitting at the island bench. We're using licorice linea there. For us it wasn't so much "following a trend" but making a practical decision. We just thought that licorice linea would be more forgiving when it comes to four lots of little footprint marks. If you like two tone- then go for it! I've got to agree with what what the previous posters have written. You've just got to go with what you like at the moment. Every time we've made a decision about the house I keep asking myself "Oh I wonder how long it will be before that look is 'out of fashion' " but I've come to recognise that is just a fact of life that trends will come and go. We've probably "played it safe" with a few of our decisions but on the whole we just picked what we liked Re: Cupboards in different colours, thoughts? 15Sep 29, 2010 1:33 pm Building1, I actually have a three tone kitchen, but my two main colours are only very subtley different. Stipple Hemp (underbench and tower) and Rock Salt (overheads). A few people told me that the contrast wasn't big enough and there should either be more contrast or one colour. I didn't care, stuck to my choices and I love my kitchen, doesn't look like anyone else. Pick what you love, you won't be sorry. We have Stringybark on the back of the island which to me ties the other laminates, the splashback, floortile and our black furniture together. That would be my only advice when having more than one colour, think about what the other furniture in the area will be and be conscious of it working together. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u353/joles_photo/2010-07-15_09-28-59_150720101529.jpg http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u353/joles_photo/2009-12-18_15-09-47_181220091434.jpg LeanneR We will be being 2 tone - overheads will be mulga & all lower cupboards/drawers in antler http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq27/LeanneRowe/Choice2.jpg Antler was on my shortlist but it didn't quite go with our floortile and splashback colour (which everything was based around), otherwise I would have had it. Gorgeous colours Leanne! Is this kitchen in? If not when is it in? I speak for myself, SuH, tinkster and many others when I say we'll need pics! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.
