Kitchen Unit Colour Help!

Hi there, We have built an extention and had the kitchen made by a local joiner. As you will see we have lived with it 'white washed / undercoated' for some time now! I do love the look but it's time to finish it. We have picked the wall and centre island colour but struggling to decide what colour to paint the outside units.
Should we paint the units the same colour as the walls or the centre island?
Would love to hear opinions.
P.S. Sorry that it's messy! :-)

Comments (3)I;d get a lighting specialist on the case. It seems a shame to go to the expense of having ceilings lowered, when high ceilings are such a great period feature. They also allow for some of the amazing pendants, which others can't have due to the lack of height. If lighting is an issue for you, i'd solve that before embarking on the expense of lowering the ceilings and explore all options available for different areas first....See MoreHELP!

Comments (3)Might sound crazy but a subtle two tone might work not colour blocking but a gradual subtle shade diff a soft off white blue grey teal on top that will not fight against the very bright white window frames and keeping a small room light.. and then getting to a soft blue grey darker teal colour with a soft graded border. And consider painting the unit soft white with an all surface soft white mat or soft sheen paint. Pop up a large piece B&W family photo or a family picked piece of wall art or something wacky like a giant gold fish on a white background framed in a thin bright orange frame and job done...or look up dark snugs/dens with rich bold colours can work well if done correctly .. good luck.....See MoreTwo colour kitchen - which units which colour.
Comments (6)Hello, We would agree with the other comments above. There is no rule that you must abide by but generally speaking if you are to have a two toned kitchen, lighter colours for wall cabinets and the darker colour would be used on the base units, as for the tall cabinet this is very much a 50/50 decision.

Comments (10)I am having to make the same decisions as you. I found these wonderful solid pewter knobs and handles on Etsy.com Here is one of the twigs I bought. They do lots of others as well .https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/224135909/oak-twig-solid-fine-pewter-cabinet-knobs?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=pewter+handles&ref=sr_gallery-1-19&organic_search_click=1&frs=1...See MoreSarah
