I really like #1. I think the consistency of having the same color on the bottom cabinets looks nicer. It's going to look great!

I agree, #1! Have you also considered doing all blue? That could be pretty too.

I'd do all one color. It's a modest size....not tiny, but small-ish. the two tones break it up too much. Put some impact in hardware/faucet and backsplash if you want.

Thanks for the input so far everyone! We thought about doing all blue too, but our concern is that the kitchen doesn't get as much light so we didn't want the blue cabinets to make the kitchen appear any darker.

Our kitchen paint color is currently a lighter blue but we think it might be too much blue then if we go blue cabinets and then blue wall color. We were considering this paint color instead if we went all blue: https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/oc-27/balboa-mist?color=OC-27

what counters/what floor? paint can be anything....are you getting new counters/floor? Pick those...or if they will be what you have now...do wait until the big painting job is completed as adjacent surfaces create the whole effect...and then pick your paint.

I like #1 the best as well. But yes, floor and counter colors matter a lot too.

Do you have an island as well? I'm only asking because my cabinet maker gave me a pic with and without the island. If no island, option #1. Option #3 IF you are doing a paneled dishwasher and a dark range.

@herbflavor the counters will be a white New Carrara Marmi quartz from home depot. Floor is a textured, gray stone tile. We aren't looking to replace the floors right now (and probably not for the foreseeable future).

@lucky998877 yes we have an island as well. It's this: https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/birch-lane-kanisha-gilchrist-kitchen-island-set-with-manufactured-wood-top-w002895679.html?piid=1569620542

I like dark blue a slate gray or teal as either an accent or the cabinetry itself if you wanna dramatic look and then have the side door poles do you like brass and it looks really nice to me anyways good luck

@James Cassell Have the New Carrara Marmi quartz countertops been installed yet? If so, could you upload pics? I'm looking to pull the trigger on the same ones.

Sure thing! Here's how our finished kitchen end up looking

Thank you! Anytime
