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 had to smile too, dear Fuchsbau35, and it made me realize that I come from a completely different era of colorful paint choices. I’m really looking forward to your feedback once our house is fully furnished. 🙂

Haha, I held back a lot with my color suggestion. I’m quite new to the forum, and who knows what will happen if I suggest something really bold 😉
As I said, my kitchen has turquoise upper cabinets, before that I had the same kitchen with dark green upper cabinets.
I’m very curious about your colors 🙂

Very bold, that splash of color 😉

For closed and clear kitchens with a wall more or less in place, I like a photo wallpaper with a cooking or spice theme. Maybe that could be an idea?

I have cautiously held back a bit 😉
We have also considered something like a colored wallpaper or those wall stickers.

Wall decals can seem a bit small-scale in their size. There is a kitchen thread here that shows nice but also more “boring” kitchens—mostly in the gray/white range. One person has a photo wallpaper with large colorful leaves in pink, green… I saved that wallpaper because it gave the plain white kitchen exactly that certain lively touch.

By wall decals, I didn’t mean clever quotes or coffee cup images and things like that. I’ve already found numerous options online. The decals cover a large area and are similar to wallpaper, but are easily removable. We’ll have to see about the design and colors. Since our space is open plan, it should also match the dining and living areas. I’ll definitely be spending some time in the kitchen thread. Thanks for the recommendation!

🙂 Everything sounds great to me. I’m into pastel colors, but I do have natural, or rather marital, limits there. Let’s see if I can get away with a few stripes of Art Nouveau wallpaper. 🙂

Have you already shared your building project here with floor plans, etc.? I couldn’t find it with a quick search.

You’re right :-) ... unfortunately, that idea came a bit too late for my post.
