Mid century kitchen update

last year

I am looking to update my kitchen to fit the warm, mid-century vibe of the rest of the apartment, but don’t want it to be TOO moody and dark. The rooms outside of the kitchen are wood paneled to give you a sense of the space.

The kitchen is 10x13ft

I’d love feedback on my ideas/questions below. I don’t have much experience with this style and want to make sure I get it right!

Here’s what I’m thinking so far:

  • new stain on cabinets (should I go dark or light? Should I get new doors? Are the centered handles really strange?)
  • light gray or cream colored cork flooring (glue down so it’s ok with water)
  • eating nook/banquette in corner (ok to block off little storage door)
  • light gray quartz counter to keep things bright
  • new appliances, including dishwasher (should I go stainless or white?)
  • new stainless single basin sink and faucet
  • backsplash (color/style recommendations welcome)
  • new lighting (recommendations welcome)

Any images that would be helpful for inspiration would be much appreciated!

Thank you!
