What to do with our kitchen??

il y a 8 ans

Hi, last summer we redid all of the floors in our downstairs with dark "hardwood" laminate. Now that we are ready to redo our kitchen, I can't decide what would look best with the floors. Seems like many would do white cabinets and black granite, but black granite is not my fave. I have thought about gray cabinets, dark wood lower and white uppers, or all white. I want light counter tops though, and I am afraid of doing all white cabinets and light counters. Also are cabinets are in working fashion but the design is dated. Leaning towards taking everything out and coming back in with RTA cabinets (shaker style). I have contemplated just getting new doors or staining/painting. Decided against painting due to the graininess of the cabinet showing through, but staining could be a low cost option. This isn't our forever home, so I do want to keep what appeals to the masses in mind. Budget wise we want it to stay under $20k. Thanks for any tips/ideas/comments!

I guess my main question is color of cabinets. Wha would look best- gray, white, all darker matching wood, or some light uppers and dark lowers?

With that dark floor I'd paint them white and go with a white countertop so it isn't too dark.

Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!

Replacing the doors, and painting the the cabinet boxes would look the best.
The island I would use a contrasting color from the main cabinetry.
Replace the counters with quartz or granite and a nice tile backsplash.

With your dark floors, I would definitely go with either white or gray cabinets. Since you said this is not your forever home, white is probably safer, since you have to think of resale at some point.

Granite, quartz, or quartzite are all great products. I would probably start there. Choose a countertop material that you really like and that is in your price range.

You can always paint cabinets around perimeter in white and paint the island a contrasting color if you don't want to do all white.

Last, look at kitchen pictures on Houzz and find a picture to use for your inspiration. Good luck!

Due to your budget, my suggestion would be to have your cabinetry painted professionally -white. (the same color as your moulding). For your island, you could paint it a darker color of your walls I would think about using soapstone, milestone or even marble for your countertops. New hardware would help as well as lighting. A timeless, yet cheap backsplash would be white subway tile with grey grout. Since your wall cabinets are short, I would create visual height by having the tiles continue up over your wall cabinets to the ceiling. I hope this helps. I have been doing kitchens for a long time and have been nationally recognized. My kitchen suggestions will appeal to a wide variety of buyers so keep that in mind, as you mentioned that you are not planning on living here long.

Best,

Kim
