Hello Sal, figuring our which colour combination to go for is often the hardest part!

We at AluSplash believe that to be in line with current trends, pairing dark cabinetry and mixed materials with a neutral backdrop will bring a feeling of warmth and comfort to your space.

Unless you have already personally I would do some research on glossy floor tiles for a kitchen as they can be slippery

A dark cabinet paired with a light floor and worksurface will give you a winning colour scheme, hand painted cabinetry will also give you the option to change the kitchen for years to come as your tastes evolve. A light porcelain floor and cream/white granite/quartz worktop will be timeless, anthracite grey or navy blue cabinetry are very much on trend now and will look stunning against them. By going for a painted cabinet option rather than something gloss you open up the possibility to re-paint in 5-10-15 years time should you ever tire of it at a fraction of the cost of having doors replaced or a new kitchen installed.

Good luck with the project.

In trying to narrow down what really appeals here are some tips, think about whether you like lots of strong light & dark, if you have pale floor and cabinets, would you then want the worktop and/ or some cabinets (or an island) to be dark? Do you tend to prefer warmer colours, more beige & golds or cooler tones, more towards grey? What kind of finnishes do you like, more rustic and natural or really shiny? If everything is shiny the surfaces reflect each other so it can be a little confusing. In this case you definately need some contrast in colour to help separate the different elements. Finally, be honest with yourself about how much cleaning you are willing to do - shiny surfaces need lots of cleaning.

Aubergine is a fabulous dark but warm colour. If you go with dark units, you could just put the dark on the base units and have light on the wall units. That keeps the place feeling bright but also creates some depth and drama. If you go for grey, try and find a yellow toned grey, not a pinky brown, or a purple toned one -if you see what I mean.

Look at this link from Dulux, https://www.dulux.co.uk/en/colour-details/h_cool%20neutralYellow 

toned examples would be Warm Graphite, Pebble shore, misty mountain. Can you see that some look a little pink, some look yellow and others look a bit more towards turquoise? Others are just pure grey. Urban obsession is a pure grey. Dark mocha could be good too. Again, you need to be careful to get the right undertone, if you have yellow toned floor tiles, then a colour like roasted coffee is better than cocoa powder, which is a bit more pink toned. https://www.dulux.co.uk/en/colour-details/h_warm%20neutral.

Farrow & ball and have a useful feature on their website. If you click onto a colour, you can click to see colour schemes. You can see this dark brown is being paired with some sandy tones.

After having seen the style and look you like, although we spoke about dark cabinets initially, with the floor you have chosen which would compliment any style, how about considering a natural wood like worktop? If you would like a light, and airy look and feel to the kitchen, neutral coloured cabinets would suit the look of your kitchen, paired with a slightly darker splashback to add that luxe feel back to the kitchen. This combination of a darker splashback, with wood and then lighter cabinets would also work well with your accent gold bar stools in the first image you showed. Keeping the foundation of your kitchen balanced and adding accessories such as gold bar stools and some decorative elements to give it that sparkle and glint that you like!

(featured here is our petrol blue splashback panel, however I feel our blueberry panel would also work really well with this combination)

Voted for third one as it looks different and very beautiful. Here are some more pictures might help you pick colours and kitchen refurbishment solutions.
