cuisines lauriere....at a kitchen design shop, not at Lowes or HD.

Thank you for your comments. I moved in with my partner and our furniture is a mishmash of styles. The layout is the best I could come up with in this small home. No other place to put my daughters piano either. So I’m just looking for an opinion on style/ colour of under TV cabinet so as not to make this room look any busier. As I am in the middle of taking down Christmas decorations, I’ll add some pics I found that might give you an idea of this open-concept home.

I love wood cabinets - and it is always my personal first choice. Personally, I like the idea of breaking up the wood with the appliances. So I wouldn’t, in most cases, spend the extra money for paneled appliances, and or to have panels installed over the appliances in a wood kitchen. If you panel the appliances in wood, you will have a lot of wood in your kitchen. But it all comes down to the look and feel you are going for in the space, and there is no wrong answer. Since I prefer to break up the wood element, I would spend that extra money on just getting good appliances and lighting and anything else. With the countertops you are planning to use, you could do stainless or white appliances. And white appliances with some gold detail might be fabulous. ETA: not your exact wood color, etc. - but just the general idea with a white and gold refrigerator, etc.

Probably not super helpful, but this photo appears to depict a Crown Point Cabinetry kitchen. Per the website, color is called Ellie Gray, which I assume is an internal name for their proprietary color. In the cabinet photo, the color looks much more blue than in the color collection page, which is a bit weird. https://crown-point.com/gallery/Homes%20Collection%2010/Homes%20Gallery%20113/index.html#img=113-10.jpg https://crownselect.com/paint-colors/
