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.

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

Judging by your plan, if you’re kitchen is south facing, it’s going to be flooded with light. I tend to prefer darker colours in poorly lit places but lighter colours for sunny rooms. I’m not a big fan of grey but Ammonite is a very subtle shade and I think it would look good on the perimeter units. I fear that a darker colour people suck the life out of your bright sunny room. The island can then be any colour you like as a contrast. I feel that a whole kitchen in Pelt might be a bit too much, but the island in Pelt would look amazing. It’s a beautiful colour and would be a real talking point. Without wishing to be controversial, I think the days of the dark blue kitchen may be coming to an end. It might look dated very quickly. If Pelt is the colour that’s captured your imagination, then go for it

Your kitchen plans sound absolutely stunning! For a warm neutral that complements your deep forest green cabinetry without leaning too pink or green, you might love Hardwick White or Charleston Gray from Farrow & Ball. Hardwick White has a beautifully soft, warm stone quality that works well in varying light, while Charleston Gray brings a refined taupe tone that pairs effortlessly with oak and antique brass accents. Both should add a timeless, elegant contrast while keeping the space warm and inviting. Hope that helps, and best of luck with your kitchen—it's going to look amazing!
