What colour cabinets go with wooden worktops? Don't say cream!
Comments (38)I just wanted to share my experience because I am on a non existent budget too. I saw a picture of a bench I loved, contacted the carpenter, and he has just made me a birch ply kitchen for a total of 1600 euros, including fitting. (600 labour, 400 fitting, 600 for materials). He has kept his price low for me because he likes the project. I am guaranteed to use him now to build wardrobes, boxes, and shelving solutions as and when I have budget. Sometimes talking to individuals who work for themselves/do it on the side can result in very cost-effective solutions! I am paying 300 euros for brushed stainless steel countertops, and got a belfast sink for 100 euro including the mixer tap. Will send u a pic when it's done but my almost dream kitchen has been possible for like 2000 euros (£1800?) I wouldn't shy away from painting the units yourself as there are many tutorials online to show you how, but it is labour-intensive and eggshell paint on cabinets = drips!! You could always just get white or raw cabinets for now, and paint later when you have some cash? Make sure you use quality brushes if you go this route. Nothing more annoying than little hairs sticking in your lovely paint :-/...See MoreKitchen dilemmas: Bamboo worktops with cream painted in-frame shaker?
Comments (1)Hi, All of what you have suggested should work well... good colour combination and yes, the bamboo worktops should be less maintenance to those made of oak. As for the sink, white shouldn't cause any problems with the colour in the room. The picture below may have a black granite worktop, but the drip rail and the units are similar colours to what you are planning to work with. Hope that helps - Best of luck!

Comments (9)I am choosing a black kitchen and found the discussion very useful. As this discussion is 3 years old I am assuming you have been using your black kitchen for a couple of years now. Please can you let me know how you are finding it? I have been told by many people that black shows stains and scratches easily, so can be very hard to maintain. I do a lot of cooking, and hate cleaning. Am I making the wrong choice going for black?...See Morecolor of tiled floor to go with brown colour granite worktop + island?
Comments (4)I think your eventual choice will depend on the colour you pick for the units. While creams/sand/limestone coloured doors will work nicely with your choice of granite, I still think white will go too. As to tiles, I'd probably go for a porcelain with a bit of physical texture (some "grit") and tones which mix beiges through to greys. This should pick up the mix of the granite. Alternatively, I'd look at wood effect Karndean or Palioclik (possibly Arezzo) in a Sand Oak type colour. Sample image here. Hope this gives you some ideas - and let us know what you decide!

6 years agoHere's pic of the kitchen at the moment. The small island (1100mm) will be placed facing the window. The floor will also be changing to a lighter colour.
I've also placed some paint testers on the board. All farrow and ball colors. Downpipe is darker one. Charleston Gray is at the bottom. Moles Breath top left.

I hope we are not too late. I just have seen your posting, and I think this kind of cracked worktop would definitely work in pair with printed splashback
