Comments (15)If teal isn’t doing it for you that blue color is really pretty too and still would look gray with brass and the grey floor tile! I found a few good options on amazon for the hardware by searching brass square pulls and also these on way fair: https://www.wayfair.com/Hamilton-Bowes--Ventoux-5-Center-Bar-Pull-24128SB-24128SCOP-L1123-K~HMBW1035.html?refid=GX293766718941-HMBW1035_40348394&device=m&ptid=762818256643&network=g&targetid=pla-762818256643&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=83020192&fdid=1817&PiID[]=40348394&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsbjP3fmW5AIVgrfsCh1oWwbcEAQYDSABEgIS_PD_BwE Here is a link to a similar light fixture! https://www.bellacor.com/productdetail/elegant-lighting-ld6042br-eclipse-brass-and-frosted-white-12-inch-one-light-pendant-2116486.htm?partid=googlePLA-DataFeed-Pendants-2116486&kpid=2116486&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping_-All_Products(NEW)&utm_term=&utm_content=multi-converters_(2-5)&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv_64qPqW5AIVFKrsCh0HGQGgEAQYCCABEgJyK_D_BwE I think the subway tile will look classic and gives you more leeway to get a countertop that can be the star! If you picked the geometric backsplash I would say go for simple very toned down counters....See Morepls help me choose Kitchen design help .
Comments (11)I'd do the white perimeter and the dark wood for the island and like Jan says, wait to close before picking a backsplash. BTW Here's a pic of my kitchen with white perimeter cabinets and a dark oak island. Maybe I'm biased but I don't think it looks dated at all. In fact I think it's better than the gray which is basically at the end of its trendiness....See MoreKitchen design help!
Comments (24)The cabinets are in good shape and are lovely. Painting them is expensive to have done well and even when it is done very well, it will never be as durable a finish as the wood. I would not paint the cabinets. The counter top is not a bad color with the current wall color and backsplash, but when you change those colors to a cleaner white I fear that the counter tops will no longer look as good. I would go to the expense of changing the countertops. Ceiling white is cool and the walls are angled. I think the color change at the vault line will break the flow. Here are some bad visualizations (White is hard to get right when trying to cover over another color on a visualization. Just walls, trim and backsplash recolored to a warmer white - Ceiling a cooler white. walls, trim, backsplash and ceiling recolored. Add new counters Add some art and new counter stools to bring in your favorite color. If I were developing the color palette for this home I would start with the colors that are going to stay. (My choice would be the floors and cabinets, but I won't be the one living there). Then I would determine the colors that the owner loves. You will be happier surrounded by the colors you love than the colors someone else loves. (I randomly selected a blue/green/gray) Then I would decide on the neutral color family and the aesthetic the homeowner is leaning toward. You have already stated that you like the warm white aesthetic. Once I knew which direction I was going I would pick countertops first, then backsplash then paint color. The reason I would do it in this order is that there are fewer countertop selections than there are backsplash selections and the countertop is the most expensive of the three. Backsplash is the second because it is more expensive than paint and has fewer options. Last is paint. It is the least expensive and easiest to alter. If Simply White is a bit too yellow you can pick a color that is just a bit more neutral. If Dove White feels to gray you can add warmth. If you want something between Dove White and Simply White you can ask the paint store to mix a can of 50/50 Dove White and Simply White....See MoreRappArchitecture
