Remodeling Kitchens Design Dilemma

What color hardware for white kitchen cabinets and light tile floor.

2 years ago

I am trying to figure out what color hardware to put in our remodeled kitchen to make it feel warmer, or just what will look good? Also, What size hardware for 36” drawers. We also have 12” drawer and a 30” drawer. The issue is that left corner I can’t get any hardware that projects pass 3/4”.
We have super white shaker cabinets, and light tile floor that almost looks like a grey concrete. We are getting Cambria Brittanica quartz countertops, and I’ll possibly end up doing a white backsplash. Thank you :)

Not that everything has to match but what color is the hardware in the rest of your house - doorknobs, etc.?

I am wondering what colours I should consider for the walls, tiles and countertops, to go with my white kitchen cabinets and my yellowy white ash wood floors. My style is quite traditional, almost french country...like mutton bar cabinets and french doors in the dining area. I would really appreciate any suggestions.

I don't know how large of an accent area you are speaking of, but mother of pearl tile comes in almost pure white to beiges and tan, to hues of blue. My bathroom remodel is about to get underway. It is all ordered and demo date set. It's mostly Torreon Travertine, My sinks, tub, baseboards and doors are white. I am adding a mother of pearl tiny brick laid tile to the face of my built in shower bench. It is white with tan. I bought samples from Tilebar.com I chose mini brick oyster white. You can read the reviews and see photos of the customers who used the product. We ordered several color samples of the pearl tile and chose this one for our project. It runs $17.99 a sf sheet. Good Luck

Need help deciding white or dark kitchen cabinets with tile floor

With the open concept, I don't think it matters that one corner of one room has dark cabinetry. You can have light walls and backsplash. Which floor plan are you doing? I prefer the first tile. It looks like it's got gray and beige, which will be easier to work with than the peachy tones of the travertine. That's kind of a Tuscan tile, which was popular in the 90s and still, unfortunately, is hanging around in tile shops. My goal would be to tone down the reds of the Bordeaux by letting the granite be the warmest element in the room. Ideally you want to go look at slabs and bring a sample of both floor tiles and the cabinet doors. You'd want to pick a slab that has a lot of cream like this one.

I don't think you made a mistake. I think it might look great. What color are your floors? What is your design style? Midmod? Industrial? Country? Contemp? Here are some pretty galley kitchens on Houzz. Which do you prefer dark or light counters? I like the light countertops. The Iook at this above kitchen with the Virginia Jet Mist granite honed and I think wow black is really pretty too... Good luck with choosing. SO many beautiful spaces to create.

I would say brushed nickel or stainless steel. I'm the type of person that likes to match things a little bit more and I pay lots more detail those kind of things. Do you plan on having stainless steel appliances? I went with stainless steel knobs because I went with all stainless steel appliances.

Thank You! We will have all SS appliances. Do you think that the kitchen will look too sterile, and not warm feeling?

I'd suggest going with matte black hardware instead of brushed nickel. The cabinet hardware doesn't have to match the doorknobs; and black will give it a bit of a modern farmhouse vibe. I'd consider black iron pendant fixtures, too.
