Is this picture taken during the day or at night? If it’s daytime your kitchen must not get much natural light. Go for white cabinets to reflect as much light as possible to brighten the room up. Boring but timeless & always looks fresh. For colour you could do a splash back, or just add colour via accessories such as a bright kettle/toaster set, tea towels etc., easier & cheaper to change if you get tired of it.

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.

Working on my new kitchen and keep questioning my decision on cabinetry My kitchen company does prime laminate laser edge - very durable / scratch resistant /finger resistant soft Matt - I'm doing black velvet along back of kitchen and surrender cabinetry around island . I've seen the finish and don't mind it but it isn't as seamless as ide like but hubby said you won't really see it ! Or Vinyl wrap completely seamless but I believe not as durable ? I love the idea of seamless but durability and quality is my 100% want I kinda didn't think there were so many options so it's been overwhelming . Thoughts on cabinetry finish?
