Modern two tone kitchen with dark cabinets on top?

Hi! I am trying to finalize the design of my new home's kitchen, and I would appreciate your advice!


Basically, my kitchen will be a modern design with gloss white slabs, which will be contrasted with mat wood-look melamine. I was going to go with all white with just the wood-look melamine as some accent pieces (such as shelves) but now I am wondering if I should do the wall with the upper cabinets with the wood-look slabs on top, with all white gloss white slabs at the bottom?


From what I have read so far, most people seem to recommend doing the lighter color at the top, rather than the dark color. Is that really the case please?


I saw these inspiration pics below and they certainly have dark cabinets on top of light colored ones - I am wondering what your thoughts are in doing something like this? Or does it really work much better with the light-colored ones on top?
