Need help with kitchen colours

Have chosen matt brown floor tiles for my kitchen diner and walls will be Homebase Contemporary.
I'm so undecided about what colour of kitchen unit and worktop to go with them.
I will also be getting a Rangemaster Professional + 90 which I believe can be gloss black, cranberry, stainless steel or cream. All other appliances will be built-in and so hidden behind cupboard doors. The sink too I'm open to colour suggestions!
Any ideas or advice or photos you can point me too would be really appreciated!

9 years agoIf I were you, I would go for a wood/gloss mix of cabinets, as this is a nice mix of contemporary and slightly classical, which is needed to tie in the Rangemaster. It would be really nice to go for a pared-back look and then get the cranberry colour for the cooker, so that there is a lovely POP of colour in the room. I would probably use more traditional handles on units too.

Got Kitchen Cabinets colours wrong, need help.....
Comments (51)Dear Azfar, I think your units are lovely, very sophisticated and much nicer than white. Your units and work tops are very similar to those I have in my kitchen, which also have black granite tops. I also have a wooden floor of a similar shade, please don't change this, it is lovely. I was aware when I had my kitchen fitted that the units appeared darker than in the showroom but this was due entirely to the colour of the walls they were installed on. To lift the units, and celebrate their beautiful colour, you should paint your walls a darker and contrasting colour, I have chosen a really shocking pink, Rock Candy, but there lots of options. The showroom I saw my units in used a burgundy colour, too dark for my Victorian kitchen. There are so many colour options which don't have to be expensive, play around with a few tester pots and see which you prefer. This is by far the cheapest option, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with your kitchen units again once your units are allowed to stand out. Incidentally your unit colour helps to visually integrate your stainless steel 'fridge, another reason to stick with it. If you want to add units in the future you could pick up on your new wall colour for a very stylish look....See MoreNeed help with kitchen colour for walls

Comments (16)Hi. I agree with jacksplash and Man About the House - hopefully OnePlan will find you, because I'm worried about your layout. Some of the figures are difficult for me to read on your floor plan but I'm thinking about all the doors and where they lead and the traffic flow of people. Is there room to get around things, especially, say if the fridge door is open? Can someone get by or do they walk in front of the oven? If someone's cooking, is there room? If someone is at the sink, can another person walk by? If people are sitting at the new rectangular dining table, can you get passed to that side door, the double doors, or the door to the stairs? With the big fridge in that spot I'd do a practice and erect cardboard boxes that equal the depth of the fridge and more that represent the island and see if there really is room for it all. Heres a helpful blurb in case OnePlan doesn't pop in: http://www.metric.org.uk/kitchen-planning (Maybe my username should be "killjoy"?!)...See MoreDesperately need help with kitchen paint colours please
Comments (17)Liz, given the amount of natural light in that interior I would say Downpipe, but it wouldn't look like that in a darker interior. Little Greene Grey Teal 226 or Scree 227 look similar. I don't believe you can accurately colour match digitally, paints behave differently in different lighting conditions....See Morerhonam
