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.

Oh guys... I have to step up for the original poster now (even though I have been quite strict with them a few times recently).
The OP was mainly concerned about the choice of colors, not the kitchen design itself. Personally, I would have planned the kitchen differently too, but that’s not the point here. I’m quite sure there is never a perfect kitchen plan. There will always be someone who would do something differently or better.
Besides, some of the critics have actually missed a few details, like the issue with the display cabinet, and suddenly the thread is heading in the wrong direction. As far as I understand, the final design comes from a professional, right? And yes, a cooktop with an integrated downdraft extractor fits in a base cabinet of this size, and of course, that reduces cabinet storage space. I strongly assume the OP is aware of that and can judge for themselves how much storage the family really needs in the kitchen. How are we supposed to assess that?

He wrote that the display cabinet is going away.

I don't really care how or where, but sometimes things are overlooked or not communicated properly. As far as I know, the kitchen comes from Poland, so the planning might be done differently there.

Built differently, yes. But the kitchens look just like those in Germany, and the planning is the same. Also, the company has already built furniture for German single-family houses several times. I appreciate any advice. However, we don’t implement everything just because someone dislikes something. We are grateful for comments such as clashes between two different wood colors. We have taken that into account and adjusted it accordingly.

Just to keep everyone updated and finalize the topic, here is the final kitchen layout. There will be a white strip between the floor and the wood-colored cabinets.

Hi,

this time we decided against glossy white and went with matte white instead. 😉
The constant fingerprints were really bothering me, probably because the kitchen has no handles.
Nevertheless, your kitchen looks just as you planned it. In real life, it will surely look even better.

I was bothered by the constant "fingerprints." It’s probably due to the handleless kitchen design.
Still, your kitchen looks great as you planned it. It will surely look even better in real life.

I assume it will look better than in the picture 🙂

I think yours is nice too. But my wife wanted a white natural stone countertop (marble look). I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Building a house is like a puzzle. You put the pieces together and hope they fit 🙂
