ᐅ Kitchen Cabinet Color: The Challenge of Choosing

Hello.

We have now completed the kitchen planning (see photos). Only the colors are still missing. The floor will be wood-colored tiles. Appliances: Bosch oven and dishwasher, Elica Tesla Switch induction cooktop (nothing else was available 🙂 ), LG side-by-side fridge/freezer, Eufy robot vacuum that can go under the island from the side. The countertop is ordered; it will be natural stone with a marble look (see photo). Now the question about the cabinet colors. We mostly want gloss white lacquer. The wall with the side-by-side fridge should be different. Either the color of the floor (photo attached), anthracite, or also gloss white lacquer? 🙂
Do you perhaps have similar kitchens and could share some experiences/photos?

Thank you very much.

I think the kitchen layout is poorly planned. The counter is uncomfortable next to the long cabinet, there are few drawers, and the dishwasher blocks the way when it’s open. For me, neither the layout nor the color scheme would work.

Keep in mind that white, even though it is neutral, stands out more than muted colors.

Does anyone understand this bid?

Kitchen plan: upper cabinets, lower cabinets, cooktop, counter with two bar stools.

In the 90cm (35 inch) cabinet, there is an 80cm (31.5 inch) cooktop centered, but no matching range hood above? Why are the dimensions so irregular when it could be simpler?

Modern kitchen with white high-gloss cabinets, induction cooktop, and wood floor.

Maybe a hood over the cooktop?

So, everything will still be adjusted. The induction cooktop comes with a downdraft ventilation system including recirculation.

We have now decided on option d) 🙂 The lower cabinets on the wall with the sink and the one with the induction cooktop will be in wood tones. Also on the side of the island where there are no stools. Separation from the floor will be done with a white baseboard. We will receive the revised plan including costs tomorrow.

The row is not deep enough for downdraft ventilation unless you are okay with shallower pull-outs. These are only 37cm (15 inches) deep, and the upper approximately 20cm (8 inches) in a 90cm (35 inches) pull-out are completely lost.

I counted about 10 drawers. If that is considered few, then that’s fine. We manage with that number.

As mentioned before (please read the whole thread), the large display cabinet has been cancelled. Instead, there will be hanging display cabinets on the far right and left walls.

The dishwasher is always in the way when opened. We have thought about this and measured the distances. Everything fits fine.

We provided the cabinet maker with the induction cooktop including downdraft ventilation. He will adjust the base cabinets accordingly. Since he installs this as standard by now, I trust him in this area.

Did you count the pull-outs? Drawers are something different.
