Hi! Firstly - What a beautiful kitchen design you've gone for. I actually think that the either white or off white would work for the colour of your cabinets but to create a warm, cosy scheme I would opt for the off white to try and pull those darker tones out from the work top. Wall colour is a bit tougher to pick as this depends really on a number of different factors. Kitchens are bathrooms are two rooms in your home that are a real investment so I would collect some paint samples and put them up against the kitchen cabinet and worktop surfaces before you commit. Having said that I do think that bright white would be a little harsh if going for warmer tones. Farrow and Ball have such a broad mix of neutrals that Im sure you'll find a great match! P.s brushed nickel would look amazing with this! Style the kitchen with natural wooden finishes in any styling items such as fruit bowls, stools, chopping boards would add level texture and interest as well! Good luck! Dani

Hi Rachel, What a lovely project!. 2023 seeing quite a bit neutrals in the kitchen as well as going bold. So how about a cashmere/latte (Little Greene in Mushroom 142 with Knightsbridge 215 )with a bold contrasting island in a deep mocha brown.

This is a photo of the existing kitchen taken late in the evening about half an hour before sunset. It is looking towards the main window at the end. The other window is behind the fridge on the right, but I’m not planning on anything above countertop height in the new kitchen.

Hi Kate - I think you have so many options with this room and you and your partner's preferences are not mutually exclusive. There's a multitude of ways to play it - dependent on your overall design you could have the grey green on the bottom cabinets with white wall cabinets above, or vice versa. You have all white cabinets and then pick out some features in a grey green paint (something similar to Green Smoke by F&B) maybe your window shutters/window seat and the back of the kitchen door and transom window and/or the alcove cupboard fronts? If you are keeping the dark floor my preference would be to go for lighter worktops, and worktop colour will be a big component of the overall look along with cabinet colour.  To answer your question re feedback from those with these colours/styles. I have the bodarp grey green unit for my bathroom basin with drawers. It's the same finish as the kitchen. I find that the matt finish does show up more finger/splash marks than a glossier finish. They clean up fine and it's not a major issue but might be a consideration for you - I only have two drawers, you are looking at a lot more than that!
