what combination of black/white/timber should i choose for my kitchen?
Hello everyone. We plan to renovate our kitchen and I would love to get some ideas about the cabinet and benchtop colors. I got help to design the layout in a different post. Here is the layout we want to go with. We like black, white with a touch of accent timber. I read that black is hard to maintain and and shows the scratches more than white does but our floor boards are light and walls are painted in antique white so i need to add more contrast. Please share with me your ideas about colors you feel would work the best for this kitchen.

Should I put color in my room/house?
Comments (10)Thank you for your help, I had never questioned my taste until a recent visitor commented on my lack of color! I like the look of the mongolian lambs wool cushions-have not seen here in New Zealand, I will have to search. Thanks for the reminder about mirror, it mostly does reflect the dresser but yes the doors are focal too, I hadn't noticed. I used to have more height on the living area coffee table but when I removed the Television and hung the vintage ceiling tiles (photo attached) on the wall the height interrupted them from another angle (not photographed). Our house is located semi rural with bush and water views, with this being quite focal in the lounge (with the wall paper) which is why I have not hung art. With this (as photographed below) would you still hang something? Really appreciate you all taking the time to answer. Thanks....See MoreHelp with choosing a kitchen spashback
Comments (21)I think we are going to use the white subway tile to keep the budget down as I priced new tiles and it would blow out the budget. Really like the contrast grout idea to add a bit of texture and pattern. My partner is a builder and he loves the reclaimed wood shelf idea as we have a lot of spear old wood left over from the renovation. We have made a dinning table and fire place mantel from it already so it would tie in really well....See MoreWhat accent colours go with animal print and white leather sofas?
Comments (6)Sophisticated start. You could go with black and white photography, architectural pieces, art pieces- anything you love on the wall. Then, add pillows in the colors of the art work. If you want to stay more monochromatic, think in terms of textural interest, such as a shag area rug, pillows with seam detailing, etc....See MoreHelp! What colour/s should we paint our house!
Comments (10)Without knowing any more info , I'd say its near impossible for anyone but you to know what colour/s to choose -- do you want the house to blend in but have its own style , or do you want it to stand out ? What colours are your main furniture items and even kitchen etc ? For xxample , if keeping the beige walls , how about doing the eves and gutters and garage door in a tangy ( bright , but not glaring ) orange -- this would work with the existing colours and not require a complete repaint . BUT if your kitchen was mainly various shades of , say , green and teal , and your lounge suite and duvet covers were mainly blue hues , that may 'feel' funny , clashing with the exterior ? Of course , blue and beige exterior may not work with the brown aluminium , as youve recognised . Another option ( a bit hard to tell from the pictures ) is that a light grey ( repaint the beige ) with mid-charcoal base boards may work with the brown aluminium , then a bright colour on the gutters and front and rear doors to suit -- anything from sea blue to bright yellow , orange , red , even white or off-white would probably work ....See MoreAnne Monsour

3 years agoThe shelves on the side of the island are nice. I am looking for an alternative to stone waterfalls on the sides of island. This is another idea. Continuing the flooring to cover the sides of island.

3 years agoI made few designs using the kaboodle. I cannot completely implement what i have in mind using the tool. I thought using black colour for top cabinets, island cabinets in black and the bottom L cabinets in white. Then the rangehood cover a combination of black and timber matching the open shelve also the island back panel a combination of black and timber with calcatta stone. And the backsplash I cannot decide if to have it in black or white
