Cabinets, window, interior trim color dilemma - please help
Comments (10)The early stages of design are always a bit overwhelming. So many choices and you can feel this burden to "get it right". You are dreaming of an off white kitchen - great! Now, think about how it feels to stand in the kitchen. Where is your traffic flow from outside and to the dining room? Do you want a large open plan? Or more defined rooms with doorways? These are the types of questions you need to focus on now. Shades of color really should be the last thing on your mind (as tempting as it is to dream of them). Think about your family, get specific about what you need, make a separate list of wants, and spend your time creating the spaces of your home. This is what an architect does. You may need one, or you may not. I got caught up in details when we started our design process, and my DH had to remind me to focus on the big picture, not the details. Houzz really is your friend at this stage. Just go through and click everything you like. Soon, you'll see patterns emerge, and you get a real sense of what speaks to you architecturally. From there, you can search plans online within that style. Lots of people have already done a lot of planning and hard work, and there really are some good plans out there to use and learn from. As far as your original question, I think the interior trim will have a much greater impact visually, than the actual window. Will your cabinets be directly next to your window? If you have a plan you are working on, you might get more help if you posted it separately for overall design feedback. Good luck!...See Moreinterior door color dilemma
Comments (3)IMO the pantry doors look DIY and I have no idea why you want the black trimmed panels on another door on the same wall I think moder industrial looks best when all the doors are the same flat panel painted the same as the walls so that all the cool industrial accents are the stars....See MoreDesign dilemma - interior wood trim

Comments (6)On the door facing outwards? Match either the glass bathroom knob directly opposite or the other knobs in the house. Reproductions or vintage salvage (architectural salvage, eBay, Etsy, antique shops....) Because your doors are not in a vacuum; match up with what exists in the rest of the house & ignore the modern interpretations of what goes with Shaker. Unless, of course, you just want to change all of the other existing hdwe in the house....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
