So we have finally decided on a kitchen design: Taken inspiration from : this is the floor plan. The dinning area will be moved to next to the steps, in front of the alfresco area. The family room will be in front of the kitchen with another outdoor area next to it. But dilemma not is that we cannot decide on plain cabinet doors or shaker style. The colour of the doors will be Satin White with black knobs matching the black granite sink and charcoal glass splash back. The bench top will most likely be something similar to Calcutta Quartz. I like the modern simplicity of plain doors but i don't want it to look too clinical. I like how shaker style adds a bit of character to the whole area, but i don't want it to look too traditional. What do you think? Any other style suggestions?

My husband and I are at a stalemate. I love the look of frameless shaker cabinets for our kitchen, but my husband thinks the edge-tape along the inside edges of the frameless will peel off and that it looks cheap. I feel like framed cabinets are old-fashioned and will make our kitchen look dated. My husband is more concerned about longevity and quality than appearances. Does anyone have photos of their white shaker kitchen with framed cabinets? I am having a hard time finding photos.

Hi, we are looking at a white and grey kitchen where the main part of the kitchen would be a white satin finish, and our double pantries on one wall would be a light grey matt finish. i want to know if this is unusual to have two types of finishes within the kitchen ie satin and matt? we have no high cabinets, all the white is low and the grey is on one wall with two pantries and the fridge cabintery.
